Story Secrets - Is Mara Jade Finally Coming to Star Wars Canon?

When Disney took over Star Wars, they wiped out the entire Expanded Universe, leaving fans heartbroken. Years of novels, comics, and games—gone, or rather, rebranded as Legends. While some elements have slowly crept back into canon (hello, Thrawn!), one major character remains absent: Mara Jade.

Now, a new rumor suggests that Disney is considering a Mara Jade TV series. Is it true? No idea. But it makes sense. Mara’s story is classic Star Wars—a villain turned hero, redemption, a personal connection to Luke Skywalker (even if Disney avoids that part). Plus, imagine a deep dive into the Empire from her perspective—think The Penguin meets Star Wars.

But here’s the catch: Dave Filoni has hinted that Star Wars needs fresh stories, not just rehashes of the past. Could a Mara Jade show fit that vision? Or is this just another fan-fueled rumor? Either way, I’d love to see it happen.

What do you think? Would a Mara Jade show work in today’s Star Wars universe?
