Mara Jade, once Palpatine's assassin, evolved into a Jedi Master in Legends timeline. Fans wish to see her in Star Wars canon due to her complex characterization and relationship with Luke Skywalker.

One of the most famous and beloved characters from the Star Wars Expanded Universe, Mara Jade, may one day make it to a live-action film or show, and she'll need the right actor to portray her.

Mara Jade was introduced in the novel Star Wars: Heir to the Empire. This book kicked off author Timothy Zahn’s trilogy of bestselling books that introduced Grand Admiral Thrawn to Star Wars fans.
