Ich habe schon öfters von dieser Frau aus dem EU gehört. Nun hat sie mich mal näher interessiert:
She was once known as the Emperor's Hand -- a highly skilled assassin and operative who could hear Emperor Palpatine's bidding from across the galaxy. Trained since childhood and honed into a weapon, Mara learned self-sufficiency, piloting, marksmanship and talents in the Force while serving her dark master.
One of her last missions was the assassination of Luke Skywalker. Emperor Palpatine was dismayed by the changes in Vader following the Dark Lord's lightsaber duel with his son on Bespin. Skywalker had stirred something in Vader, and the Emperor distrusted his closest agent. As a contingency, the Emperor dispatched Mara to track down and kill Skywalker.
Mara knew that Skywalker would attempt a rescue of his imprisoned friend, Han Solo. She infiltrated Jabba's palace, posing as a dancer named Arica. She failed to get close enough to Skywalker, and Jabba refused to let her attend the execution party heading out into the desert. She missed her chance.
A perfectionist, Mara could not abide failure. She wished to make it up to her dark master, but never got that chance. In mid-transit back to Coruscant, Mara felt the Emperor's death through the Force.
Her entire life of high-placed contacts, elevated status, and lifelong purpose collapsed with the defeat of the Empire at the Battle of Endor. Through the Force, Mara received fragmented images of the Emperor's final moments. Luke Skywalker was there... as was Vader... and the two murdered her mentor...

Wo kommt die Frau eigentlich überall vor? Ich habe gehört in "Dark Empire" und einigen Comics sowie den Romanen zu "TESB" und "ROTJ".
Ich wußte gar nicht das der Imperator, wärend Vader noch sein treuer Diener war, einen weiblichen Dark Jedi auf seinen Sohn ansetze.
Sie war wohl auch in Jabba´s Palast als Leia, Lando und Luke anwesend waren. Doch kam wohl nicht nah genug an Luke ran.
Danach soll sie noch eine wichtige Rolle gespielt haben und immer wieder mit Luke aneinandergeraten sein bis sie letztendlich geheiratet haben.
In welchem Outfit findet ihr sie eigentlich besser?
Ich finde sie mit roten Haaren und Schwert irgendwie hübscher. Aber dunkel geht auch.
