Star Wars Legends: Poll of the Week - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
Tumblr media
Which of these is your favorite creative way a Star Wars Legends author got rid of a love interest for one of the characters?
Luke Skywalker had to let Callista Ming die to free her spirit (which had previously also been in a ship’s computer and inhabiting his recently-deceased Jedi Academy student’s body) from the dark sider Abeloth (Fate of the Jedi: Conviction)
Qwi Xux broke up with Wedge Antilles at the dinner where he was planning to break up with her, which may not seem that creative on its face, but an amicable breakup where no one dies or turns evil is a bit rare in Star Wars (X-Wing: Starfighters of Adumar)
Wedge Antilles fell in love with widow Iella Wessiri, whose deceased husband Diric turned out to be not so deceased after all, and then said husband turned out to be a sleeper agent for the Empire (but don’t worry, Diric’s not in the way for long) (X-Wing: The Krytos Trap)
Mara Jade and Lando Calrissian’s affair was later retconned as being a cover for a mission they were doing together (Vision of the Future)
Corran Horn discovered he and Chertyl Ruluwoor, the Selonian with whom he had a one-night-stand, were incompatible when he developed an allergic reaction to her fur and she had a skin reaction to the acidity of his sweat (X-Wing: Wedge’s Gamble)

catch me running around @legendsconsortium struggling to snappily explain callista's character better than "luke skywalker's bitter ex" or a 500 page treatise on why that first description is reductive and misogynistic

You said that legends Luke Skywalker is canonically a-spec, so I'd like to see the excerpts. Not in a confrontational "prove it to me" sorta way but a "I'm curious" sorta way.
I don't have the books or ebooks on hand, but it's Barbara Hambly's duology Children of The Jedi / The Planet of Twilight books with Callista.
Yes, I say Duology, not Trilogy, because the piece of shit who wrote the book in the middle of these two is a piece of crap misogynyst dudebro who wrote an entire trilogy about Luke running away from his responsibilites because Leia nagged him too much about babysitting so he went and did a little Overpowered Gary Stu thing of raising an obsidian castle up off the shores of a corscaunt beach and spent weeks just wandering around Vader's old Castle, sitting on the ceiling and Brooding(tm) about how he's so overpowered and meant for more and he's so angsty because he has a greater destiny and he can't connect to normal people and .. yeah. Anyways. Guy who wrote the shitty middle book is also unfortunately very "popular" star wars book author so he has written a lot of the other Legends book and .... It's always very refreshing to see other people rereading then and being horrified at what they thought was amazing writing when they were kids lol.
So yeah, ignore the shitty book in the middle by what might be Kevin J Anderson? My internet isn't cooperating at the moment so that either the authors name or the name of a random unrelated actor but it's something something Anderson. Ignore his book because he tries to retcon everything to make Callista a wilting wallflower who oh so scared of Luke's power and she feels so inadequate next to him and she left out of shame and Luke spends the whole book brooding about "oh I'm so scary and strong in the force I scared poor wittle Callista away boo hoo I am so sad and angsty because I'm so scary and overpowered" and then shitty author man tries to kill Callista off along with his sexist stereotype walking female imperial admiral lady character
and Barbara Hambly took one look at his shitty "sequel" to her book and said "Nope! We are fixing literally all of that and more, what the fuck is wrong with you dude, why the fuck are you treating all of the women this way"
Woops. Rambled a bit. Kevin J Anderson or whatever his name is pisses me off to the extreme, especially because he was allowed to write so many books that butchers the original trilogy characters even more than the "sequel" trilogy did.
anyways , long story short if you want to see Aspec Luke Skywalker, you can read Barbara Hambly's Children of the Jedi and Planet of Twilight, and also whichever book Luke proposes to Mara Jade in.
Because even as a kid I read that book and was absolutely fucking delighted at the hilariously out of left field it was and how platonic it was.
It pretty much boils down to:
Luke and Mara Jade are stuck in a flooding cave or something where they might die.
The conversation pretty much follows as such, from what I can remember reading over 10 years ago so obviously don't quote me:
Luke: "Hey Mara. We're friends, right? "
Mara: " Hmm, I mean, yeah I guess. We interact sometimes, sure. So we're acquaintances. And I'm not trying to kill you anymore so we're not enemies. And I've saved your life a few times so... Yeah. I think we're friends."
Luke, possibly after almost drowning: "Cool, cool, cool. So. Hey....... Do you want to marry me?"
Mara thought about it for a moment. "do you mean you want to get married now as the last thing we do before we die or...?"
Luke: "no, I mean even if we survive this. Do you want to marry me, even if we get out of here alive?"
Mara pondered the question, looking down at Luke where he looked like a pathetic drowned rat. "Sure." She shrugged. "I'll marry you."
Luke: "Awesome! I wasn't sure if you would say 'yes' seeing as we've never ever even in our most private thoughts considered each other as romantic or sexual prospects and we've never dated or expressed interest in each other for the years and years that we've known each other but I just feel like it's meant to be, y'know? And--"
Mara rolled her eyes. "Luke, I already agreed to marry you despite our nonexistent romantic or sexual history together, so just chill. Or don't, I don't need you freezing to death; now that we're engaged you're not allowed to die on me, I'd look awesome in a wedding dress."
And then they survived and announced their engagement to Han and Leia who came to rescue them and were met with confusion ("wait, Leia, did they even ever date!? How did I miss that!?"" / "No, shhh han, just be happy for them.") But they did go on to get married (I think they showed the wedding in one of the comics).

The Red Right Hand of Palpatine
I’ve rewritten this twice, fuck it, short rundown of the Fallen Jedi Palpatine ‘recruits’ in order to get a powerful enough enforcer.
Their various tenures overlap, and if you’re a fan of the characters in bold, I urge you to proceed with caution. I am a cruel writer, and Sidious is just...cruel.
Callista Ming/Masana-Lady Desponda-Broken in a fighting pit of captured Jedi, where you either died a Jedi or left a Fallen. Retreated into a sense of apathy so intense she now emits a tangible field of hopelessness that causes her foes to lay down and die, basically. Jedi Hunter & General
Eeth Koth-Lord Otac-Was tracked down by the Empire and given an ultimatum: Serve the Empire and DO NOT FAIL, and your family (father in law, wife, daughter) will be left unaccosted. Refuse, run, fight, fail too many times, or die, your family will be killed without hesitation. The end cocktail of volatile emotions produces an absolutely dogged servant. Primarily a military leader and strategist.
Empatojayos Brand-Lord Torca-Captured after Order 66, manipulated and literally medical malpracticed into a force sensitive General Grievous. The main Vader Hunter, between his computer enhance lightsaber skills and natural piloting skills.
Sora Bulq-Lord Murted-Fell before the Purge, retrieved from the Temple’s cells and placed in another fighting pit. Relatively more stable and resigned than his fellows. This, alongside his mastery of Vaapad, leaves him as the “greatest” of Sidious’ longstanding apprentices.
Galen Marek-Starkiller-Son of two Jedi who left the Order to get married, “recruited” by Lord Murted in a raid that killed his parents. Incredibly powerful in the Force, he technically exists as Murted’s personal agent in the Inquisition. Being groomed to kill Vader. Despite his upbrining, he harbours a serious conscience 
Lumiya-Shira Elan Colla Brie-Former Emperor’s Hand who proved powerful enough to receive further training following a confrontation with Luke Skywalker, and replace the ever growing “absence” of Apprentices.

ok the callista image on wookieepedia is from the 1998 star wars encyclopedia where it's cropped just as weirdly. and i was able to find a version on the internet archive but he doesnt??? credit??? images???? there's a bit in the foreword about how he thanks the trading card guys, dark horse guys, and lucasfilm librarian. but theres no like fig. 1 fig. 2 like a textbook would have. because star wars isnt about that nerd shit
ive checked the database of cards from the custom card game, this image does not appear anywhere there. a quick duckduckgo for any appearances in any dark horse comics isnt promising. the above image appears to be a different style than "murder in slushtime"
id love advice from people smarter than me
