When I read the mutiny-of-anonymity scene in Solo Command, specifically how they all called each other "one-who-looks-like-[name]," I couldn't help but think of Force-psychotic Valin screaming about everyone being impostors.

Star Wars Legends Spotlight: The Wedding of Luke and Mara

Our first spotlight is the wedding of the galaxy’s most eligible Jedi bachelor, Luke Skywalker, with former Emperor’s Hand and current Jedi Master Mara Jade in 19 ABY on Coruscant.

Why is this important?

Luke and Mara are in many ways the power couple of Star Wars Legends (along with Leia Organa and Han Solo). While Leia and Han were shown as a committed couple by the end of Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker spent a fair amount of the Legends continuity in various ultimately doomed love affairs. Mara Jade, one of the most prominent characters to originate in Legends, was introduced in the Thrawn trilogy and clearly had some chemistry with Luke from the start, as well as going on her own journey from Emperor’s Hand to smuggler to Jedi knight to Jedi master before ending up with Luke.

How does it happen?

The engagement takes place toward the end of Timothy Zahn’s novel Vision of the Future, appropriately happening in the middle of a life-or-death situation. The room they are in is filling up with water, and Luke asks Mara to marry him. She says, “You mean, if we get out of this alive?” and he says, “I mean regardless.”

The wedding and the leadup take place in Star Wars: Union, a four-unit comic series written by X-Wing series writer Michael Stackpole. Most of the series deals with the more mundane events leading up to any wedding— choosing a dress, the bachelor / bachelorette parties, the wedding itself, and moments from the reception— but the happy couple being who they are, of course there is danger, intrigue, and shenanigans. There are actually two weddings: a Jedi wedding only attended by members of the Jedi Order early in the series, and a formal wedding that serves as a major event for the New Republic.

The Jedi portion of the wedding largely goes off without a hitch, but the New Republic ceremony is where the shenanigans come in.

We see Mara attempt to “say yes to the dress” only to be confronted with some of the worst fashion crimes imaginable, then find her dream designer out in the alley, having been originally prevented from preventing her designs by her evil boss.

Luke’s bachelor party at the Red Rancor (attended by Han Solo, Wedge Antilles, Chewbacca, Gavin Darklighter, Talon Karrde, Wes Janson, Derek “Hobbie” Klivian, Tycho Celchu, Kam Solusar, Corran Horn, Booster Terrik, and Lando Calrissian) ends in a bar fight instigated by a Moff who is trying to kill Luke / prevent the wedding.

Meanwhile, the women (Mara, Leia, Tionne Solusar, Winter Celchu, Mirax Terrik Horn, and Iella Wessiri Antilles) have a spa day and then kick some ass in a slingball game.

The day of the ceremony is a major New Republic event, with people like Mon Mothma in attendance and Admiral Ackbar presiding. A Moff is determined to interrupt the ceremony and violently prevent the festivities, but Chewie, the Jedi, and the Rogues take care of that while those with parts in the ceremony carry on. Meanwhile, Booster Terrik has been tasked with keeping the children quiet during the ceremony, including his grandson Valin Horn as well as Myri and Syal Antilles and Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo.

Finally, we see the happy couple wed:

…And various other couples at the ceremony get nostalgic about their own weddings as they enjoy the reception.

for such a time as this: wwii

CHILD MIGRANT

early summer, 1940. london, england.

there’s a war going on, somewhere. past the vivid green hills outside of london, not much is clear except that things are not faring well for the world at large.

st. andrew of niima children’s home on the very outskirts of london is not what one would call upscale. there is not much money attached to the institution, but it cannot be accused of looking sloppy or slovenly. neat as a pin inside and out, st. andrew of niima’s houses nearly 60 children anywhere from mere weeks old to eighteen years. 

of the elder crowd is teenaged rey andor, a 16 (almost 17) year old girl who has called the orphanage her home and the other orphans her family since the age of six. she remembers nothing of her life before save for a faint imprint of looking straight up the front of her new home and marveling at its height. despite spending half her life wildly at full volume and the other nearly silent, she has taken on a caretaker role among the crowd of younger girls and boys. she pushes them to finish their chores and schoolwork to the best of their ability, encourages newcomers to get comfortable and make friends, and has taken to fixing up multiple small areas of the large house whenever she has a spare moment to get her hands dirty.

though rumblings of war have thundered on steadily in the distance, most of the children remain unaffected. only one boy, valin, the oldest of them all at 18, enlisted into the british royal army. aside from an already stretched larder becoming tighter, there is not much that changes in daily life. not enough to notice. it’s hard enough as it is.

until the threat of possible invasion of areas entirely too close to the united kingdom come crackling over the radios. britain is in danger and no one more so than its children. after the formation of the children’s overseas reception board (corb) in may, 1940, half of st. andrew’s children (chosen so early because of their small size) are sent by boat to new york state in the fourth wave of child migrants. the other half is sent to the english countryside, away from populated areas. this division splits up rey and her best friend jysella, and they part bitterly. even as she watches the approach of the east coast from the deck of her boat, rey feels like she’s drawn the short straw. she arrives the last week of august, 1940.

( less than three weeks later, the c.o.r.b. program ends. a ship carrying 90 british children and other refugees is sunk by a u-boat on its way to canada. the united states committee for the care of european children, formed a month after c.o.r.b., takes center stage to ensure the safety of children in the european theatre of the war, championed and initially organized by eleanor roosevelt. )

her temporary new life is odd from the moment she steps off the boat and can no longer keep hold on the hands of the friends, near siblings, she’s known her whole life thus far. while rey watches as other children, friends and strangers alike, are taken away by charming and seemingly normal families, she waits for one with the most peculiar and ironic of last names: solo. 

when a bright eyed and serious faced woman comes to pick up her child package, shipped from the united kingdom with a tag still attached like a bolt of cloth, americans hovering around rey begin whispering loud enough for her to listen. best she can tell, the woman she’s being sent home with who introduces herself as mrs. leia solo is a u.s. senator. 

well. her stay in america is about to get awfully exciting. 

yet as exciting as sheltering with a senator may seem, rey truly has no idea what is in store for her. when she arrives at the welcoming solo home, she discovers a bevy of older children curious and eager to adopt her into their fold without needing much convincing. the patriarch, han, who rey begins to affectionately call “yank”, declares without much hesitation that rey looks a dead ringer for a fifth solo child. no one in the family bothers to disagree, even after she and the eldest, ben, have a mysterious falling out on christmas night, 1940. thankfully their feud is resolved just as strangely two months later. this allows rey to spend the months leading up to her dear friends’ overseas departures holding on tight as they enjoy life as they know it for what could be the last time in years. 

by august of 1941, rey is the last youngster standing in the solo home, and she gives her utmost to fill the space the other four have left behind. not only that, she devotes herself to studies and absorbing the american political climate through the eyes of her classmates and host parents. 

she thought she’d left the scene of a boiling over war in england through escaping to the states. by december 7th, 1941, rey understood that she’d only entered a new phase of what promised to be a struggle the likes of which the world had never seen. the horrors, surprises, and joys to come are like unto nothing else rey has ever known. but it must get worse before it gets better.

the events of this verse take place over the course of her stay at st. andrew’s, her stay with the solo’s in america throughout upper school and university, and life in the states post-war. 

verse plotted in partnership with @alderheir​ / @yunharlaquin​ and @aniimvs​ and absolutely open to participation from others! however, the above portrayals will be exclusive in this verse.

additional wwii settings for rey can include: 

USO PERFORMER

rey drops out of college at age 19 to become a dancer for the USO. while she adored school, traveling to perform for the troops gives her a chance to see the world despite the circumstances. she finds herself meeting and befriending countless soldiers, writing whoever will agree to write her back, keeping her talent for machinery and technology up to par by being her group’s resident tire changer and bike fixer, and becoming adept in first aid. the world may be an unfriendly place, but she’ll keep her torch lit for herself, her dancing friends, and the soldiers she meets. it’s what she feels is the right thing to do.

AMBULANCE DRIVER

when rey aged out of st. andrew of niima children’s home and went on to train as a nurse, she did not expect to come out the other side of her education running straight into war. without hesitation she becomes an ambulance driver, ferrying fellow nurses, supplies, and wounded soldiers back and forth across the united kingdom.
