Mara Jade was once known as the Emperor’s Hand – a highly skilled
assassin and operative who can hear her master, the evil Sith Lord,
Emperor Palpatine’s bidding from across the galaxy. Trained since
childhood and honed into a weapon Mara learned skills in the Force
to serve her dark master.
Being dismayed with Darth Vader after the epic father/son duel with
Luke Skywalker on Bespin in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, the
Emperor deployed Mara Jade on one of her last missions: assassinate
Luke Skywalker. He blamed Skywalker for the feelings of conflict of
good and evil within Vader.
In her first unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Skywalker, in
Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, she infiltrated Jabba’s palace and
posed as a dancer named Arica, knowing that he would attempt to
rescue his friend, Han Solo. However, Jabba the Hutt ruined her
plans by attempting to execute Skywalker and his friends himself at
the Great pit of Carkoon, where lived the immense Sarlaac, a vile
creature that would digest them over a thousand years.
Mara Jade finally met Luke Skywalker face to face during the events
of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s campaign against the New Republic. They
had to cooperate to survive the wilderness planet of Myrkr.
Witnessing Skywalker’s powerful Jedi abilities, Mara developed a
begrudging respect for the Jedi Master. Following the defeat of
Thrawn, Luke gave Mara the gift of his first lightsaber, a weapon
long thought lost but recovered by agents of the empire.
Eventually the couple realized that they were a perfect match
despite a decade of tension, the couple ultimately fell in love and
wed on Coruscant. The couple represented an inspiring ideal and a
powerful symbol to a galaxy in turmoil. A former Imperial agent and
the galaxy’s most powerful Jed Master had found a way to overcome
their differences and fall in love.

Jade’s lightsaber to their Star Wars prop collection. It's truly a
one of a kind collectible, as this unique piece will be the one and
