This Mara Jade minifig is a custom creation of Andrew Becraft, aka Dunechaser, one of the contributors over at The Brothers Brick. (He has a Kyle Katarn, too.)
And today’s minor bit of Fate of the Jedi news…
Mara on the back cover of Abyss? Okay! Let’s not forget she is mentioned in the (spoilery!) blurb.
TFN talks to Timothy Zahn
TheForce.net has a brand-new interview with Tim Zahn, their first since 2000. He talks about Allegiance, Outbound Flight, his creative process, and of course, the ever-popular character deaths question.

Mace Windu and Mara Jade in The Force Unleashed?
The hell? This isn’t funny, LucasArts. (Also: Anakin Skywalker as a playable character. Is there simply a random duel mode on this thing or something?)
Expanded Universe newsbits: Art, comics, e-books!
- Art: Katie Cook drew a Luke and Mara sketch card. Also check out her stormtrooper baby shower.
- Comics: Legacy scribe John Ostrander is O in Comics Should Be Good’s Alphabet of Cool.
- Previews: Legacy #22, Dark Times #10, Rebellion #13.
- E-books: The folks over at NJOE spotted a listing on Random House for the first eight Legacy of the Force books due out April 29th.
