Mara Jade Skywalker


Would have been an awesome role for her if Lucas had continued the Star Wars saga instead of the prequels.

She would've been perfect for that role!

Isn't the title a bit of a spoiler?

How is it a spoiler? It does not say who that it is. I don't think giving away Luke having some sort of a relative is much of a spoiler at this point.

However, for those who are just now reading the books and know who Mara Jade is, but are not aware that they will end up getting married and having a son together, even the implication that there is more to their relationship than just being rivals , this would be a spoiler.

It would be awesome to get rid of Lucas, and have someone who wants to make great sci-fi and stay authentic to the original trilogy, make the Thrawn trilogy of Star Wars universe novels into movies. Wow!

I live to re-read the books every so often because they are so great.

Disney is apparently not going to be screwing around much with its new toy Star Wars. Starting in 2015, we’re going to see a new Star Wars movie every year.

Essentially, Disney has decided that all nerd properties are interchangeable, so Star Wars can totally handle constantly having new films released, right?

Confirming a strategy of aggressive franchise expansion, Disney announced at CinemaCon that they are planning to release a new Star Wars movie every year, starting with the J.J. Abrams-powered Episode VII in summer 2015. The plan is to release a standalone spinoff the following year — probably one of the projects focusing on Boba Fett or Young Han Solo — and alternate between numerals and spinoffs from there.

The idea, of course, is that all the spinoffs will be amazingly popular in their own right, become their own franchises, and Disney will make even more offensively large piles of cash than it already does.

Granted that the Star Wars brand was, ah, tainted a bit by the prequels, but we have to question this whole “Marvel” strategy for a couple of reasons. First off, they don’t have Marvel’s team behind this franchise. That’s not meant as a slight to the team they do have: Kathleen Kennedy is a respected executive for excellent reason.
