10 Things You Don't Know About Mara Jade
Apart from Grand Admiral Thrawn, Mara Jade is probably the best known and most popular character from the former Expanded Universe. Both the male Chiss and the female human were created by the same author and first appeared in the same novel: Heir to The Empire, 1991, by Timothy Zahn. During her lifespan of 57 years Mara had an amazing story arc and character transformation, from an Emperor’s Hand, to a smuggler and a Jedi Master, from Luke Skywalker’s sworn enemy to his wife and mother of his son. So there are reasons enough to take a look at 10 things, you (probably) don’t now about Mara Jade (Skywalker):

Star Wars Celebration Is Coming Sooner Than Expected
Over the last year and a half, we have missed out on a ton of big events, including ones which allow us to interact with people from all over the world in celebration of our favorite comic book and film franchises. One such victim was the annual Star Wars Celebration event, first established back in 1999. Advertised as the "ultimate fan experience," it, too, was cancelled for 2020 and 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The event itself would last for days and feature major announcements, immersive exhibits, an interactive floor show, screenings, exclusive merchandise, celebrity panels, and loads of other cool Star Wars-related media, meaning fans of the franchise were left heartbroken when they couldn't take part.

Possible Origins Of Omega
Since the debut of The Bad Batch on May the 4th, the source of the most fan speculation has been the new character, Omega. With her accent, enhanced perception, and adorable mimicry of Hunter, Omega has immense potential. There is clearly more to this young one than meets the eye, however, as Tech deduced (and later confirmed) in the premiere. As she is also an enhanced clone, the Bad Batch have quickly begun to regard her as one of their own. This is especially true for Hunter, forming a parental bond with the youngling. Clearly, there is more to Omega than meets the eye, as both Nala Se and Omega herself seem to be keeping personal information about her to themselves. Here, we will examine the possible origins of this Omega.

You Missed This Infamous Original Trilogy Scene In 'The Bad Batch'
The members of Clone Force 99 are to a large extent cardboard characters. This is by no means a critique on The Bad Batch; right now it’s simply a fact. It’s safe to assume that the five clone soldiers will grow and widen their personalities during the course of the show, but right now they are pretty much one-dimensional. They even choose or are given their names based on their primary character traits: Tech, Crosshair, Hunter and Wrecker, with Echo being the only exception.

More 'Andor' Set Photos Leaked From A New Interesting Place
