Mara Jade Skywalker didn’t have to die at the hands of Darth Caedus.
It was a wasted empty death…
Lucas Licensing apparently allowed this disaster to happen and now we should call on them to reverse it. The Sith have the power to bring back the dead and so too then does the Force.
Whether it is Ben or Luke Skywalker or even someone else I don’t care. I just want Mara Jade back.
To that end we here at ShowMeSciFi have started a petition to Bring Back Mara Jade.
Please sign in and together we can be THE FORCE that will bring Mara back.
Yeah, they need to save Mara and bring her back to the EU. It can be done. I feel Del Rey has killed off one of the most notable characters from the EU. One of the only reasons I read these novels is because of Mara Jade. It can be reversed, and it should be done! I feel Zahn would be the perfect Author to bring her back. He did create her after all eh?
BRING HER BACK!
SAVE MARA!
I’m sure there would be quite a few people willing to voice their support for this if there was a way to reverse what happened in their canon or if Delrey gave a crap. Though frankly I’d rather see them not screw up Jacen Solo I’d think more support would be garnered in trying to undo every ridiculous thing that happened in LotF in general.
Never mind undoing LOTF, they need to do the same thing with NJO. I’m planning on becoming a sci fi author, and as soon as that happens, I’m rewriting everything from Vector Prime onwards! I’d make sure that none of the Solo kids or their friends get screwed up!
Somebody wish me luck!
Good luck dude
Go for it!
Thanks Maggie.
But how do I deal with the fact that the current crop of authors are STILL spewing out these crap books which are being accepted as the official version? And all those fans who support them, or at the very least have an opinion on them? And how can I get mine published and accepted as the new version?
I know it shouldn’t be such a big deal, but I have Asperger’s Syndrome. For me, a small issue sometimes becomes a big hassle.
So, what should I do?!
You can do what I did.
Totally trash all future profic novels that will no longer have our favorite heroine in them and write your own as fan fiction.
First off, you will NEVER be able to publish a new version of Star Wars canon. You wouldn’t believe the process it takes for Lucasfilm to choose their authors. They are too focused on the marketing of the books over their quality.
To me, fan fiction IS the canon. It’s written by the fans and we don’t care about getting a percentage. We only care about the characters. Which is a hell of alot more than I can say for Del Rey.
To paraphrase Neo from Matrix, There is no canon. Since they care not to write characters as they should be written, I no longer have respect for any of the official authors.
Wannabe author, I suggest you write away. Add Mara Jade into any setting, any AU, anything you wished she could be (that’s including my personal hot tub! Hee!) Then go to http://boards.theforce.net/ and add your story. No, it won’t be published. But it will be appreciated by the true fans of Star Wars.
And may I add, Long Live Mara Jade !!!!
