Timothy Zahn expanded upon Mara Jade’s time as the Emperor’s Hand in the first of the Hand of Judgement series, in 2007. The Japanese edition of “Star Wars: Allegiance” displayed a beautiful spread of the book’s protagonists, as depicted by artist Tsuyoshi Nagano. In an interview with the Rebel Legion Japan from 2021, Nagano spoke about his adoration of Mara:

“[Mara Jade] is a character that doesn't appear in the movies. She has a stylish image. Originally, she was the one who served as an assassin for Palpatine. She gradually became attracted to Luke and eventually got married and even had a child. I like the fact that she has a tumultuous worldview. I think Mara Jade is the kind of character that could make a movie. She's fun to draw. Usually, I have a set of actors for my characters. But Mara Jade is the only one that doesn't have a specific model for the movie.”

The fear of Disney touching Mara jade skywalker is so high and destroying her character cause modern day crap 💩

Listen mara is amazing and helped me figure things out but don’t change her just cause people who aren’t actually fans wants to insert political crap into her character

Besides I love her story arc 💗 not just with luke but who she is as a person and what she has dealt with

she’s so dam gorgeous not just men like her but us women too thank you very much

So I had a freak of a dream last night.

I guess I've been watching too much Star Wars recently, because last night I dreamed that I'd been ported into the Prequels. Like, somewhere a year or so before Attack of the Clones. Because I was from another universe, I was completely invisible to the Force, which Palpatine decided made me something to be watched closely.

Rather than do the in-character thing and just have me killed, in this dream that little weirdo decided to romance me. Why? I dunno. Sleep medications are weird. And here's me trying to react like I DON'T know he's the villain, so I'm having to go along with it to avoid problems and try to avoid changing the timeline of the story too much. So the dream wound up with a couple of years of memory of having a very, very public life as the Chancellor's romantic partner.

A frequent private "date" was sparring with his secret collection of "totally legitimately acquired" lightsabers. Just his little chapter of nerdiness, he loves the things you know... little jokes at the Jedi's expense to test the waters... a casual intimate revelation that he's Sensitive and has practiced without the Jedi's knowledge...

Marriage was discussed at one point, with me trying to avoid that like the fucking PLAGUE while not tipping him off that I know.

Years. Of. Dream.

The big plot happened at the end, when he realized that I was popular enough in public opinion to make my assassination a lever he could pull to gain power in the senate. So I get kidnapped by mercenaries and it becomes clear that he's planning for my public, daring rescue to go horribly wrong and end in the whole ship's demise. So I rescue my own damned self, kill a bunch of mercs, blow up their ship to fake my own death, and go in search of a way to talk to the Jedi Council without being discovered. Because you know what, FUCK this timeline. I've had bloody well enough. So I'm off to warn the Jedi Order that they've been played, and that NO, YOU CAN'T JUST GO MARCHING INTO THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE TO ARREST HIM FOR FUCK'S SAKE HE'S PLANNED FOR THAT SHIT and NO DO NOT BRING SKYWALKER ALONG WITH YOU THAT KID'S EVEN MORE SCREWED UP THAN I AM RIGHT NOW. I was set to just freaking rewrite Revenge of the Sith into Revenge of the Angie.

Then my alarms went off.

Dammit, this was just getting good.

Timothy Zahn expanded upon Mara Jade’s time as the Emperor’s Hand in the first of the Hand of Judgement series, in 2007. The first edition hardcover of “Star Wars: Allegiance” displayed a spread of the Hand of Judgement stormtrooper squad and Mara Jade, as depicted by artist John VanFleet. In an interview with StarWars.com, Zahn spoke about his inclusion of Mara in the novel:

“This is Mara's earliest story (at least by me) - all the others I've written take place during or after Return of the Jedi. One of the reasons I wanted to write Allegiance was to be able to show her in her role as the Emperor's Hand, and to show how she could serve the Empire without being corrupted by it. Palpatine wants to keep Mara under his control, but as something other than a Sith. I see her as a grand experiment: if he's limited to one Sith apprentice, perhaps he can still extend his power by having a single apprentice plus a group of lower-power non-Sith Force users like Mara.”
