[FotJ but Mara is alive]

Mara: You know you've made it when you see your face everywhere you go.

Luke: Those are my wanted posters.

Jaina being ecstatic to have her half feral minion / cousin following her around.

Jacen, head in his hands, groaning: Now there’s TWO of them.

Nothing mechanical in the temple is safe.

I accept two Disney additions to the Star Wars universe, and those are Rogue One and The Mandalorian.

Everything else proceeds as in the Legends universe.

I have spoken.

According to leaks awhile ago Disney was possibly entertaining the notion of somehow reviving Kylo Ren/Ben Solo in a future movie. I would definitely be here for it. One of the things that many star wars fans loved about the EU was the Skywalker Family drama & lineage. Hell my first ever Star Wars story reading was the Cade Skywalker stories.. Disney has already shown and made it clear it's not bringing back old concepts in the same way. I feel Bringing back Ben Solo and having him and Rey establish the Skywalker lineage in this new continuity would be a great salvage. Hell probably would make the lineage stronger 😅. Not to mention a lot of fans loved Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker relationship. So the Ben & Ren story could also serve to fill that void. Not to mention the lack of power Luke was in comparison to his legends self. In this way this New Ben Solo could be what Luke was to Legends. Meaning this overpowered Skywalker Jedi Grandmaster. It's said the George Lucas mentioned that Luke was what Anakin could've become had he been whole and not half cyborg 😅. In this new canons we have Anakin fell and due to injuries couldn't fulfill his potential.. Luke gave up being a Jedi for a decade+(Seemingly in Canon he didn't achieve even half as much as he did in legends) ..So Ben Solo to me (with fully functioning limbs + being a practicing Jedi for decades)could finally be that character in modern canon.

How would they bring him back. Listen Anakin is a literal chosen one who was created by the force 😂. Have either him or the force bring back Ben as a act of balance for the force😅.

With Grogu being able to live a long time + a New Skywalker lineage their will be countless new star wars stories to tell . Hopefully Disney takes it more serious when planning the future movies💯

Are you hungry for more Mara Jade content in the Disney canon Star Wars world? Try this AU out:

Ten years after the failed military coup plotted by Chancellor Palpatine has been foiled, the Galactic Republic is still in peril! The Clone Wars and the revelation of the Jedi Order’s blindness to the threat under their very noses has shaken many worlds’ trust in the institutions that are meant to maintain peace and order in the galaxy. The integrity of the Republic is threatened as many planets continue to develop their own independent militaries and secessionist policy gains popularity. A breakdown of diplomatic relations between worlds and the start of yet more violence seems increasingly likely.

In this tense moment, Senator Padme Amidalla remains one of the last bastions for unity in the galaxy. In her capacity as a voice against the development of individual planetary armies, she visits Coronet City, the capital of the world Corellia, as part of a mission to inspect their prodigious shipyards, accompanied by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and her two young children, Luke and Leia Amidala, who are only beginning to spread their wings.

When Luke unexpectedly goes missing, it will be up to his Jedi protector, Mara Jade, to rescue him from the clutches of the sinister crime syndicate called the White Worms…

I have so many ideas, just not for the art I'm meant to be doing. Hello yes teacher, I know it was not the assignment but would you accept drawings of no longer Canon Star Wars characters?

[l0nglives]

speaking of guilty babies feeling like they don't deserve to be acknowledged, mara's real reason on being against finding out her origins is due to the fact she's terrified that if her biological family are alive, they'd be disgusted by her. which is fine since she has done awful things that should not be overlooked. she's dreamt of having a family since she could remember, so even if she was rejected even if she wouldn't fault them for it it would fundamentally break her.

i fucking hate him for it . / via @notpr3y

Padmé freezes for a second in surprise, the only motion of her face being her eyebrows flying as high in her forehead as they'll go. This is... an unexpected turn of conversation from what had started out as light small talk. She had invited the younger woman out for drinks, wanting to get to know better the person who had so obviously captured her son's heart. "... who is it that you hate exactly?" she asked, once she had recovered from the urge to chuckle. It didn't surprise her in the least that Luke, with his cooler, calmer temperament, had fallen for someone with spunk.

[magnetarbeam]

Recently, I've decided I want my main AU continuity that still needs a name to include a handwave that Mara lives, and it occurred to me that all else being equal, she wouldn't be able to go with Luke and Ben.

The original terms of Luke's exile were made on the assumption that Luke would go alone. He couldn't request information or assistance from Jedi resources. Ben wanting to go with him was a last-minute change of plans that the GA couldn't have found out about in time to stop, but Ben's still technically in the Order. I think the only reason the GA didn't hold that up, later, as a violation of Luke's terms is that Ben doesn't have sufficient rank for Luke to exert meaningful influence on the Order through him.

But another Master? Only if Mara also left the Order would she be able to go, and they both know she probably could do more good by staying on Coruscant and helping with that.

dan heng, Dan heng IL (hsr, romantic)

Dan heng received a mysterious mail. The letter was cased in a beautiful elegant white and gold envelope. The envelope is decorated with small real golden roses and gold stripes decorating the sides of the envelope. The effort can be seen on the envelope alone about how.. How much emotion is put into this letter.

The letter itself is nothing short of elegance, the hand writing is.. Uniquely familiar to dan heng for some reason. But he couldn't tell why. The letter was unsigned and it is fully unknown who the sender is and how it arrived here.

My dearest dragon,

I wish to be able to stand by your side.. Though you may not remember me, no, i know that you don't remember be, but alas i am indeed was once, and is still, you, your past self's, imbibitor lunae's husband. His "mate" If you will.

My heart broke when i heard the news that he was sent to the shackling prison for a forced rebirth. And it broke even more when i heard that he, well, you, will be banished from the luofu. It has been decades, yet i still wish to be able to see you again. To be able to hold my, was once, lover again.

You don't know how happy- no, ecstatic i was when i accidentally saw you in the devine commission. You looked different, but also the same at the same time. I know it's you, dan feng. We were once, and is still bonded. I wanted to approach you, to hug you, to hold you again. But i hesitated, fearing that i might just be hallucinating. Or that you might no even remember me.

The latter was confirmed when you just asked me for directions, seemingly not recognizing who i am. It broke me deeply, but i do not wish to bring my burdens of the past over to you.

Therefore with this letter, this will be my final and last words dedicated to you. Dedicated to my, was once, lover.

my most beautiful sun.. I wish to be able to hold you again.

to: dan heng from honkai star rail

the events at the xianzhou luofu was certainly draining to the astral express crew. if not, more so to certain someone of the crew than the rest simply because it brought back so many old and unfamiliar memories to him. unfamiliar memories, feelings and emotions rushing through him with so much vigor, ones that doesn’t even belonged to him but to someone else entirely. so it would be safe to say that dan heng wanted nothing to do with his past reincarnation and his feelings and memories.

but you can’t just get what you wish for, right?

even after coming back to the familiar warmth of the express and its surroundings, accompanied by the feeling of safety his companions bring, dan heng was still restless. there was this… odd feeling inside him. as if something had been awakened and was begging to be let out for an inkling of a moment ever since he asked a stranger with an eerily familiar face about directions on the xianzhou.

he tried to escape the weird feeling of deja vu by sleeping yet it only served to bring more torment rather than rest that he so desperately seek. in his dreams, he would see his past self — dan feng, with the old familiar faces that he always sees.

there’s the foxian woman — bright, cheerful and full of life — jumping around, giggling at things and bringing forth joy to the group of five. there’s the light blue haired woman, whom he later on recognized as jingliu — cold as the element she wields and yet with a certain hint of warmth alongside it, sipping on wine from the small jade cup. there’s the arrogant blacksmith, yingxing and the former self of blade before he was tainted by mara — laughing along with his friends, pointing a few fingers and saying a joke. there’s jing yuan — younger, more wild, rebellious and with a certain hints of cockiness that his current jaded self lacked.

and then there’s dan feng, his past reincarnation, the one who brought this suffering and pain onto him, the one who is refusing to let him live on, the one who is so cold and cruel and… huh? was he mistaken when counting? why had this group went from 5 to 6? who was this new face amongst the group?

this new face that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in his dreams, or was it memories?, was kind and gentle yet carrying a hint of strength under it. seemingly a simple man at first glance but proving himself to be more with the way he carried himself. elegant, regal yet so humane. this new man approached dan feng, greeting his fellow friends and comrades with a few jokes and podding here and there as he reaches the former high elder. but when reaching the high elder, the two shared a kiss. the vidyadhara visibly softening, teal eyes staring at the man with hearts in his eyes as his tail wraps around the man’s ankle possessively.

ah, that explains it. they were lovers. or in vidyadhara terms, in dan feng’s eyes, his mate. his other half. the one he promised himself and his life to for the rest of his life. the soft teal colored mark of a dragon on the back of the man’s neck proved it.

seeing them, dan heng felt an odd emotion swirling in his chest. was he… jealous? but how could be jealous when he was dan heng and not his past self? he was dan heng, not dan feng and that man was not his mate. yet he still felt it. that annoying green monster swirling in his chest and refusing to leave. but his jealousy was at least slightly explained when he woke up that morning, with the strange letter on top of his currently reading book.

teal eyes skimming through the letter, taking in every word and syllable, rereading it over and over again, did he come to a conclusion. sudden and unexpected but the astral expressers accepted and supported his decision nonetheless.

“himeko, i need to visit the luofu for… a reason. there’s someone i would like to meet. again”

with that, the dragon set out to reunite with his husband. with his mate. just a single moment to clarify the person’s words on the letter — was what he was lying to himself about. when in truth, he knew that there was more to it. the dragon wanted to meet his husband again. the dragon wished to hold his mate again. dan heng, wanted to reunite with his lover again.

“and this time, nothing will tear us apart”

Can we take a second and just appreciate how both of Anakin's children fall for people who are weirdly a lot like Anakin? I'm sure people have talked about this before, BUT LIKE.

Anakin & Mara Jade:

Both fall to the Dark Side only to be redeemed by Luke

Both share conflicted loyalties to their Master (Darth Sidious)

Suffer from extremely intense emotions that often creates inner turmoil, and are often driven by these emotions

Are incredibly strong-willed

Anakin & Han Solo:

Are both reckless and impulsive

Are both very cocky and confident, often to a fault

Are both incredible pilots and they know it

Are both quite charming, though to be fair in completely different ways

Are both very quick to challenge rules and break them

To be fair, if it turns out that Darth Vader– the genocidal, child killing, murderer– is your father, you're probably going to have some serious Daddy Issues.

I think it's also universally accepted that, had Anakin & Padmé lived to meet Han and Mara, Anakin would have hated both of them, and Padmé would have LOVED them, because they'd remind her a bit of Anakin, too.

𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐉𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐔!𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑 ❄️🗡️

Former Sword Champion of the Luofu, and the creator of the Cloud Knights' legends of undefeated might. Now, her name has been wiped from the records, and she is a traitor of the Xianzhou walking on the fine line between sanity and mara-struck.

(English is not my first language)

The former swordmaster of the xianzhou luofu suddenly finds themselves somewhere in the fields of liyue. Confused by this weird phenomenon they started to walk absorbing liyue beauty and having their guard up.

After a few minutes of walking a group of treasure hoarders surrounded them.

Treasure hoarder 1 : look boys, fresh meat. Look like an easy one they're blind

Jing Liu!reader : ...

Treasure hoarder 2 : Hey, you hand us all of your mora or else will make you.

Jing Liu!reader : ...

Treasure hoarder 1 : HEY ARE YOU DEAF!!!

With a single slash of a sword, the treasure hoarders bodies are frozen in a flash. The swordmaster continued their journey without looking back.

They soon reach liyue harbor without notifying the conqueror demons of their presence. The swordmaster was enjoying the scenery that Liyue Harbor was offering, not knowing a certain qilin adeptus was following them, as well a person adorning a mask of a fool.

A certain long haired gentleman with amber eyes was following their footsteps, when the swordmaster took a seat at one of the vacant tables to listen to one of iron tongue famous tales about the archon of this land. The long haired gentleman decided to start a conversation.

Zhongli : you look new, are you perhaps a traveler

Jing Liu!reader : you could say that

Zhongli : well how are you faring in liyue harbor

Jing Liu!reader : it's very... Lively many people are walking around. It's similar to my home

Zhongli : I see, so you're not into large crowds of people

Jing Liu!reader : you are correct...

Both of them started to traverse in a friendly talk, after a few minutes past a ginger diplomat joined the table and stared at them with familiarity.

Jing Liu!reader : is there something on my face that is distracting you

Childe : nothing... It's just... Your face looks similar to my master minus, the blindfold. I'm childe by the way but people also call me tartaglia. I'm one of the eleven fatui Harbingers

Jing Liu!reader : ( your name ) nice to meet you.

Childe : unfortunately I gotta go now. I have some unfinished business I gotta attend to. The tabs on me do.

Later in the day, osial bursts open from the sea and are threatening to destroy liyue. During the final battle someone was standing on the peak of the mountain in liyue harbor and released a large slash of ice that level the entire monster.

Soon this slash managed to be able weakens osial to the point it can be finished by throwing the jade chamber upon the sea monster.

But the aftermath of the slash was powerful, it left a half of the sea near liyue frozen for weeks, and it even managed to crack the earth meaning the person who unleashed the slash is a walking danger upon the Adepti and Qixing they concluded. If they adf more power upon the slash it'll be able to be taken down on osial. This person was certainly holding back their strength

Before continuing on their journey to the next nation, the sword master took a look at the glaze lilies and the silk flower that are together, it reminds them of a certain person that they lost during their journey.

Luke and Mara (Mara Jade's Theme), conducted by composer Arturo Díez Boscovich, performed live by The Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra at the MOSMA Festival in Spain in 2017. The new compositions were written and performed to accompany Timothy Zahn's classic novel, Heir to the Empire. Speaking about this beautiful piece, composer Boscovich said, "I have composed the love theme for Luke Skywalker, who falls in love in this book -- don't think that Luke is as innocent as the Virgin Mary! He is also passionate man, and inside this chaos there is a woman, who is related with the Empire, she was a student of the Emperor. The love theme... this is the love theme between them; it is actually the theme for her, her leitmotif. This girl came from the dark side and she hates Luke Skywalker -- you know, it's like the classic story between Catwoman and Batman, these femme fatales who want to destroy these men. In this situation, we have the same thing; it is passionate love but also it has some real dark moments."
