The popular Star Wars Legends character Mara Jade was not in the sequel trilogy, nor would she have been in George Lucas's version of the films.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The popular Star Wars Expanded Universe character Mara Jade would never have been part of a hypothetical George Lucas sequel trilogy. Before its 2014 rebranding as the alternate Legends continuity, the Expanded Universe was the Star Wars franchise’s official timeline, with Lucasfilm officials often confirming that its lore, narratives, and characters were as canonical as the Star Wars saga films themselves.
Mara Jade was introduced to the Star Wars franchise in Heir to the Empire, the first book in Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy. Initially depicted as a smuggler and associate of Talon Karrde, the trilogy eventually reveals that Mara Jade was an Emperor’s Hand and the adopted daughter of Emperor Palpatine himself before she left the Sith and the Empire behind.
Lucas allegedly was not fond of Mara Jade as a character, disliking her marriage to Luke Skywalker more than anything. Despite Expanded Universe material all receiving Lucas’ stamp of approval and oftentimes his creative input, his attitude towards the material eventually changed drastically. Although numerous elements of Expanded Universe lore made it into Lucas’ movies, he was once quoted as saying that Luke never gets married and Palpatine never returns from the dead .
Lucas’s initial story treatments for a sequel trilogy, which Lucasfilm and Disney largely ignored when creating their sequel films, unsurprisingly did not include Mara Jade in any form. Moreover, Lucas sequel trilogy would have ignored the post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe lore just as Filoni’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars ignored the established Clone Wars-era lore of the original conflict's multimedia project.
