Many of us Mara Jade fans have never really been big fans of character’s ‘default’ outfit, the leather catsuit. And Tosche Station has finally has it:
By the Gods of Kobol, we hate the catsuit. It’s objectifying, it’s demeaning. Mara’s a character whose innate personality makes her engaging. She doesn’t need to wear a skintight outfit that’s woefully ill-suited to combat to get fans to like her.
So, they’re having a contest! Come up with a more appropriate outfit for Mara and you could win some books. And/or the gratitude of Mara fans!
Here are a few existing fanworks that just may fit the criteria: Mara in robes, in a jacket, in a turtleneck, (!!) steampunk (well, at least it’s different,) in a flight suit and inspired by one of the Japanese covers. Be inspired, but don’t copy!
Hmm, that sounds like fun! I might have to whip something together and wear it for CVI too.
Great idea! I remember Zahn originally mentioned she normally wore tunic/jumpsuit ensambles – so that’s what I’ll try to scetch (prepare for bad drawings LOL). But I guess the challengewill be to create a tunic that still allows her edge -and looks SW. That green outfit with plastic foam shoulderpads from VOTF looked like something from a LOTR roleplaying game…
