Who is Mara Jade?

Postby geekygent78 » Mon Mar 23, 2026 10:40 pm

Honestly, I never heard of this character. I was surprised to learn she was Palpatine's assassin until he died. Than she married Luke and had a son with him, Ben. Of course Ben right lol . I'd like to see her in the live action universe sometime. That would be interesting.

I was hoping for a new Ewok character, but I can’t hate on this one.

she is currently nobody because Disney erased all of the extended lore for their own crap that everybody hated.

They hit a home run with this. Maybe we'll get the solo twins if they're during legends characters

I think there has been a running joke that she is a better character than any of the ongoing Disney ones for the past 10 years.

Showing my age - I knew of Mara Jade first from the video game Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi that was on PS1

It's really cool to see a deep cut character like Mara Jade get the pop treatment. It's refreshing to see new characters get their first pops. I really hope this does well enough that Funko continues to release more pops like these.
Thank you everyone for this awesome community

I keep hoping for Spirit Han from The Rise of Skywalker. Doesn't seem likely I guess, but I keep hoping.

But the baby ewoks would be awesome!

I'd like to see more of them. As someone who has yet to read the books, I'd like to see what other characters are out there that I have not heard about.

I think there has been a running joke that she is a better character than any of the ongoing Disney ones for the past 10 years.


I don't think that is a joke. Some of the new characters in the latest trilogy aren't widely accepted or liked. A few are great, a few are ok, and then there are ones that some OG SW fans don't really care for. I think it was more the story and how they were introduced that caused SW fans to turn their backs on the latest trilogy. Give us some new characters, on the big screen new, and stick to the SW lure, I promise you'll get the traction you're looking for. I guess only time will tell and we'll see what Filoni does moving forward.
