Mara was sexy. The model they got to represent her, not so much.

**BehrItAll** · 08-03-2012, 07:20 PM

I don't like the model. I don't ever picture her when I read the EU novels.

sum1 · 08-04-2012, 08:21 AM

Good. She doesn't look like Mara anyway.

**BehrItAll** · 08-04-2012, 08:15 PM

She doesn't. I do not see how the sketches and drawing are "based" on her.

I don't see it either, and according to Jerry she's nasty to the fans. Goodness knows why, since she hasn't done anything to really be uppity about.

I actually haven't thought much about Luke's love interests. I guess I'm a Luke/Mara shipper, since I don't want to see him with anyone else. When I started reading the books I already knew that he ended up with her so all the other interests seemed like place-holders.

Josh liked Gaeriel (Truce at Bakura) a lot. I remember thinking she was okay. Callista... I seem to recall thinking she was a bit Mary Sue-ish. I'll have to dig up my old reviews to remember fully.

Looking at the love interests as characters, not love interests, I adore Teneniel.

She's so interesting.

If you look close, some aspects of her features appear in some of the art, but the artists make no effort to make it look really like her, probably because she's not all that good-looking.

I like Luke/Mara

But I wish they'd stop giving Luke 5,000 love interests >.>

Okay, so maybe less than that

Oh, that's well beyond being a spoiler. It's one of their less popular decisions.

You made him sound like he was George Clooney or Madonna.

I am still angry that they killed off Mara. And in such a lame way too.

That was Karen Traviss, wasn't it?

**BehrItAll** · 09-15-2012, 12:49 PM

Yes.

I don't like how she was tricked.

This Mara-freaking-Jade we're talking about!

sum1 · 09-16-2012, 02:14 AM

This is Karen-freaking-Traviss we are talking about, so it's no surprise. How was she tricked?

Mara Jade Skywalker - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki

Quote:

Jade Skywalker tracked Jacen to Hapes, where he was visiting with Tenel Ka and Allana. When he left Hapes, Jade Skywalker ambushed him in her StealthX, and after a dogfight in Hapan space, they ended up on the planet Kavan. In the tunnels of Kavan, a fight between the two ensued that degraded into a brawl. Initially, Jade Skywalker trapped Jacen beneath rubble by collapsing the ceiling and attempted to shoot him with a blaster. The ambush backfired when Jacen used a Force Wave so strong it blew the blaster bolt and the cave stones off himself which also knocked her backwards.

She kept fighting Jacen with her shoto and vibroblade even after sustaining a scalp injury and being painfully thrown into a brick wall several times, using her assassin's training and physical skills to good effect. As she prepared to finish off her opponent, Jacen stared into her eyes and instantly created the illusion of Ben's face beneath her by using the Force, causing Jade Skywalker to hesitate for a split second. Jacen used the time to stab a poisoned dart into her thigh, causing a slow, paralyzing, and painless death. Her final words expressed her belief that Jacen had become worse, more vile and cruel than Palpatine, and that Skywalker would defeat and strike him down. Jade Skywalker left her body behind instead of allowing it to become one with the Force to leave evidence of the identity of her killer as well as to give her family something to say goodbye to. Her last uses of the Force were to whisper in Ben's mind and to ruffle Skywalker's hair. Other Jedi, including Leia, also felt her passing through the Force.

Thanks.

**Subject87** · 09-17-2012, 09:59 AM

I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't like that

I don't talk to many Star Wars fans, besides on here, so I dunno what's a spoiler and what's not
