The Mara Jade figure is part of the extended universe and although it shows her as the Emperor's Hand, in the books she first appeared she did actually help out the good guys. You have to read the story to see how and why...

Here are a couple of photos with the figure and the cards...





The two cards are here...





I had based them loosely from the Jyn character. I am going to make a template to make the mini cards for the characters, but would advise simply using Jyn's for the time being. This means that until we have more cards, Jyn and Mara cannot be in the same session together.

For anyone that is looking for the figure, here you go...

Constructive Criticism Here.

If your going to bring a new character to the table, go all out with the creative process. Mara's Unique abilities are just a combo of Jyn and Finn, and not even the exciting ones. If you choose to play with Mara, She literally has no offense, or team synergy.

Also, Lone wolf is kinda useless when her other ability doesn't cause strain. Unless the player strained twice every activation to move two more spaces, Lone Wolf would really never come into play (unless caused by the Imp Player). Other than her weapon, Shes pretty boring...and IMO I wouldn't choose to play w/ her because of that.

Come up with at least ONE unique ability that would make a player go "I gotta have that".

Your on the right track, and the card looks great, it just needs a bit of tweaking!

No, that's fine and taken onboard.

This is only the beginning of the process getting a card done that looks right. That being said, I need to get the mini cards sorted as well.

The thinking of Lone Wolf was to make this character a fast one that could recover. But reading what you have said, you are spot on.

Thanks for the feedback - this is exactly the thing that is worthwhile. Now that the card has had some good feedback, the battle is almost won as that tool is in place and can now get fully creative.

As a huge Mara Jade fan (especially as she appeared in Timothy Zahn's books), I feel this isn't really a good representation for her. First of all, as the Emperor's Hand, she didn't oppose the Empire. She never actively helped the Rebels. She actively helped the Emperor. While sometimes the Rebel's goals paralleled hers (especially when a 3rd party criminal was involved), everything she did was for what she thought was the greater good of the Empire.

And given her iconic nature, I really see her as an Imperial ally along the lines of Darth Vader. Now in the later years, she did turn against the Empire with Luke's help, but the timeline for that would be outside of the scope of the current campaign (and she definitely shouldn't be referred to as the Emperor's Hand at that point), but she should still be more of an ally card than a playable character.

I'm looking forward to Mara Jade in the game as much as anyone, but I'm hoping to deploy her to teach those disruptive Rebels a lesson!

Now that the thematic criticism is out of the way, looking at the card in a vacuum I somewhat agree with slaptac. The recycled abilities aren't all that interesting, but I do think they would work well for her. If you happen to give her cards that required using strain, then Lone Wolf could be very handy. And opportunist is also a really nice ability if her primary weapon is her purple-bladed lightsaber. The artwork is also fantastic, but again (sorry stepping out of the vacuum briefly) is the wrong one. It's a picture of her from her later smuggler years, not as the Emperor's Hand.

I don't want this to be all about negative criticism though. You've obviously put some work into this, and you must be a fan of Mara Jade to want to make a card for her. I'm 90% sure we'll get an actual Mara Jade in the game (though my money is on Imperial ally for sure), and until then I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of playing with your creation. Keep working at it, and hopefully you'll have many more fan creations made soon!
