Star Wars VII: 10 Expanded Universe Characters Who Deserve To Appear

2. Mara Jade

Mara Jade On the other hand, Mara Jade might just be the most dangerous woman in the galaxy, possessing just about the same level of expertise as Kyle Katarn and Corran Horn. Mara Jade was trained from a young age by Emperor Palpatine to be one of his secret weapons. She received top notch training in espionage, assassination, and combat tactics and her latent force abilities made her even more dangerous. After the death of the Emperor, Jade became a smuggler, working her way up the ranks of Talon Karrde's organization. During the Thrawn Trilogy, she partnered up with her bitter enemy Luke Skywalker in order to defeat the Imperials. Eventually, her hatred towards Skywalker declined and she began training occasionally at his Jedi Academy. Later the two married and Jade became one of the New Jedi Order's first Jedi Masters. Who Should Play them: Olivia Wilde or Emily Blunt

I love movies, literature, history, music and the NBA. I love all things nerdy including but not limited to Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Firefly. My artistic idols are Dylan, Dostoevsky, and Malick and my goal in life is to become like Bernard Black from Black Books. When I die, I hope to turn into the space baby from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
