Favorite Legends Character

Wbo is your favorite Legends/EU character?

-You can include characters that are in both Canon and Legends as in the case of Luke Skywalker.

My favorite Legends character is Revan from Knights of the Old Republic (Xbox, PC, iOS).

Since I already provided a great explanation for my passionate fandom I shall place it here:

“Revan is my favorite because represents the redemptive cycle (Revanchist Jedi, Sith Lord, Jedi Prodigal), and is a fully realized Anakin/Vader. What makes his cult following so strong is that each player of Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) choose every line Revan said and every choice he made. So in truth all Revanites, all those who love Revan are Revan, because we were him and our choices made him either Resurgent Sith Lord or Jedi Prodigal in KOTOR. We are Revan, he exists because of us players/gamers. No character has of yet had the fan and the character be symbiotic, be one, and have a story so nuanced and a character so well developed in his mythos.”

A runner up for me for favorite legends character is Mara Jade Skywalker. Mara was the Emperor’s Hand during the Galatic Empire, and her position was assasination and infiltration reconnaissance missions. She eventually was given Luke Skywalker as a target, but invitably fell in love with him and abandoned the Empire. Mara and Luke wedded, and she became a prominate member of The New Jedi Order. Luke and Mara had a son, named Ben Skywalker.

Well said! Mara captivated me when I first saw her in the Comics “Heir to the Empire.” She was the first woman to wield a Lightsaber I saw, and sorry Mace, but Mrs. Jade Skywalker had a purple/magenta bladed lightsaber long before AOTC.

I am rather worried that Mara is being erased. She was not co-opted into the Sequel Trilogy, and a recent book on SW Ladies omitted her entirely.

We won’t forget you Mara!

 

I’ve always wanted to play that Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith featuring a playable Mara Jade. I have played Mara in “Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi” (PlayStation)



That was a classic, SoulCalibur Star Wars style. I wish they would make another SW Fighter.

You have a point that Mara not being implemented in the NU-Canon alleviates the possibility of ruining her character. She can remain as the Force intended, a fiery red head with lightsaber in hand and assassin plans.

 

Can you still order a new copy of Mysteries of the Sith for PC? I would love it if the whole Jedi Knight Series of Video Games was released on Android and iOS. I do recollect Mara being a skin for the Force Unleashed. You could buy her on Xbox Live store in a package with other characters ro replace Starkiller in gameplay.

The Masters of Teräs Käsi played like Tekken and was difficult if you weren’t Mars Jade or Luke Skywalker. For instance, I tried being Boba Fett and got defeated with ease.

The Force Unleashed on Nintendo Wii had this duel sub-game in the fashion of the SW EpIII: ROTS offical game that played like The Masters of Teräs Käsi. Mara Jade was available as a playable character if you had the cheat code.,

In honor of Mara I want to share a card that was coveted in my collection:

 

I agree. I see Mara Jade more in these images:




Here are some amazing quotes by our beloved Jade:

“Victims run off and hide. Prey runs off and hides. But I'm not a victim. And I'm not prey. I'm the Emperor's Hand. I am the ultimate predator. And it's time for Dequc and Black Nebula to die.”
-MARA JADE DURING HER HUNT FOR DEQUC

“Yeah, it's true. Now tell me who blabbed so I can go cut his head off.”
-MARA JADE'S RESPONSE TO A COUPLE OF JEDI TRAINEES QUESTIONING HER PAST AS AN EMPEROR'S HAND

I love how fiesty and to the point she is. There is no pretension in her words, she cuts through a conversation like her saber.

 

I know right? In this age of finally recognizing strong women, Mara Jade seems like a no brainer. And as you’ve said she has a very intriguing and complex story from Emperor’s Hand to Jedi Master. I would pay double the ticket price to see her in a movie. I would actually love to see her on Disney+ in her own series “Emperor’s Hand,” and even an Anime would please me.

Ah Kyle Katarn, I was him in one of the best SW games for s long time, Jedi Knights II: Jedi Outcast. IMHO Qui-Gon Jinn borrows a lot from Katarn, they both are enigmas, and both are Jedi who don’t fit in the more traditional Jedi mold: i am glad you brought him up, I was just sharing about him for the first time in years with someone.

 

Another favorite of mine is Ulic Qel-Droms. Who invemted Jedi Shadow, seeking to infiltrate Krath’s ranks and destro the dark siders within. He everually surcommed to the Dark Side, and was a Sith Lord with Exar-Kun, tell he was severed from the Force and became a Jedi Prodigal, leading Jedi to Exar-Kun’s hideout:,

I remeber having a Tales of the Jedi comic and Ulic was a tortured soul like Luke on Ah ch-To, serking guidance in a cave on a Hoth like planet. Most striking at the time was his yellow Lighsaber, which would become the symbol for the Jedi Sentinel.

 

I heard Disney is doing an Old Republic Trilogy and the writer said they are going to feature Darth Malak. I only hope this means Revan will be featured as well.

 

Great choices. Most of them I know well, except Vergere, Ikrit, and Vitiate (save for him torturing Revan in Revan the Novel). Can you tell me a little about each?
