"Iconic Star Wars Legends character makes an appearance in the new TV show, a first for the franchise's canon"
In the latest addition to the LEGO Star Wars series, "Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Past," now available on Disney Plus, fans are treated to a unique opportunity – the unification of the Skywalker family. According to writer and executive producer Benji Samit, this could be a rare chance for both fans and the creators themselves to witness the interaction between the iconic family members.
The series brings together Anakin, Luke, Padmé, and Leia for the first time, providing a nostalgic journey through the Star Wars universe. However, a notable absence in the series is the character Mara Jade. Mara Jade, a famous character from the Star Wars Expanded Universe (now known as Legends), is mentioned but not seen.
Mara Jade started out as an Imperial character, but she later switched sides and married Luke Skywalker, with whom she had a son named Ben. Her introduction to the canon could be challenging due to the absence of any reference to her in the sequel trilogy. The potential appearance of Mara Jade in the future could involve a different storyline, but no concrete details have been revealed yet.
In episode 2 of the series, Yesi calls on characters Watto, Hux, and Mara for help. Watto, another iconic character from the old Star Wars Expanded Universe, adds to the nostalgic feel of the series. Despite the absence of Mara Jade in "Pieces of the Past," her potential future role in the Star Wars universe remains a topic of interest among fans.
Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker continues to hold firm to the anti-attachment teachings of the Jedi in "The Book of Boba Fett" with Grogu. As the Star Wars universe continues to expand, the question of Mara Jade's role remains unanswered, leaving fans eagerly awaiting any updates on this intriguing character.
For those looking to stay updated on upcoming Star Wars movies and shows, a guide is available. However, the specific upcoming projects are not specified in the provided context. Regardless, the anticipation for Mara Jade's potential return to the Star Wars universe remains high.
In the meantime, "Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Past" offers a captivating journey through the Star Wars universe, with the unique opportunity to witness the Skywalker family interaction. Whether this is a one-time event, as suggested by Benji Samit, or the beginning of a new chapter for Mara Jade, fans can only wait and see.
