Captain_Zone Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Infinities, maybe? I haven't read very much of the Infinities stories. Just remember. Everything in Infinities is N-Canon. It's a "What If?" story. Nothing more. No such character exists in continuity, OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stncold Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) She's not real. To my understanding she was planned, but then scrapped in favor of Allana so they could focus solely on her instead of two new children in the family. Probably for the best seeing as Ben, Allana and Jaina are starting to replace Luke, Leia and Han as the big three. They can run with that trio for a bit before Jaina pops out Fel II and Ben gets started on his family. Edited June 22, 2012 by Stncold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started FOTJ, but I haven't made it to the second book yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google it and all you get is random answers on Wikianswers and Yahooanswers about this character's name and a possible birth when Ben was 4. Seems like someone is just screwing around or they read some fanfic and thought it was legit canon material,although I have no idea how someone does that.

masterleonidas Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yeah. knew she wasn't real. i would've heard of her by now. btw, who's allana. isn't that jacen's daughter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevanKnight Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 There should have been more Skywalker kids. **** u traviss and all who worked on LotF for killing off Mara Jade. Yes, Allana is Jacen's daughter. Tenel Ka is her mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also shame on you who worked on Fate of the Jedi for making Vestara run off instead of staying with Ben. Their relationship would have been a good mirror to Luke and Mara Jade's.

Captain_Zone Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Really? I thought the entire team made the choice. Nope. They were just unable to talk her out of it. She was literally dead set and hellbent on killing Mara Jade. Hell, when she got it approved, Tim Zahn had to scratch the Mara Jade novel he was working on. She somehow convinced the higher-ups that killing off arguably the most (or second most, since Boba Fett novels nearly always sell the most copies) popular character in the Expanded Universe was a good idea. Now, she was THE most popular character NOT created by George Lucas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stncold Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Personally wasn't opposed to killing off Mara. Not enough notable deaths keeps things stale and unexciting. There needs to be some sense of danger and fear that somebody might actually die. With the big three still immune on the big guys orders, and Jaina and Ben being safe for the time being due to having descendants in Legacy, it's gonna go back to that. They need to shake it up again by killing Lando or Wedge or somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because sooner or later, they're going to have to kill off Luke, Leia, and Han for it to take place. I get the feeling that they're waiting for George to either relent on his standing orders, or pass away and pray his will doesn't stipulate their continued survival. Ben and Jaina having descendants in Legacy doesn't mean they're safe, either. If word comes down from On High and Legacy gets retconned, they'll probably be on the casualty list within a year or two after it happens. Oh, and if they kill Lando or Wedge, they had better go out in a blaze of glory instead of the lame way Traviss killed Mara.

Haven't they gone into the far future with Legacy? Though should note, Lucas said that they couldn't be killed he didn't state that they couldn't die. Killed and dying are two different things.

Well, humans can live up to 150 years or even more in Star Wars, so Luke and Leia (and maybe even Han) could theoretically still be alive in 130+ ABY.

Maybe Luke though, just being that there have been very old jedi masters who have kicked ***. Except that Cade had a meeting with his great granddad's Force Ghost, so that right there implies Luke got killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya edited my post, though it doesn't say how he died though. Luke could have just passed away peacefully or some such nonsense by something. Vague deaths for all 3 characters, would be the best bet to go about them. Because no one is going to like the deaths, if they are described in detail. I mean look at Chewie, took a moon to kill him yet people don't like that he was killed. Edited June 25, 2012 by Wolfninjajedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about Chewie. Salvatore did a great job sending the ol' Wook out in the ultimate blaze of glory. It all depends on how George worded the orders, though. If he said "Luke, Leia, and Han can't die", then that's that. If he said "Luke, Leia, and Han can't be killed", then MAYBE they can loophole it to make them die of natural causes.

Pretty sure it was the latter, because it would be kinda weird for them to go through time and reaching like 900+ years old and still be around whooping Empire/Sith ***.
