Star Wars has been hinting at an Heir to the Empire adaptation with The Mandalorian movie, meaning that Mara Jade’s canon debut could finally happen.

Who should play Mara Jade in a Star Wars movie has been a popular question since Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire was published in 1991. More than 30 years later, Mara Jade, one of the most important characters from the Star Wars Expanded Universe, has yet to appear in a movie or TV show. After Disney bought Lucasfilm, the Expanded Universe stories were labeled as Legends, as in non-canon events. As such, having live-action Mara Jade in a Star Wars movie became a lot less likely.

9 Karen Gillan Karen Gillan, who recently starred in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as Nebula, has a vast experience with sci-fi franchises. Gillan played Amy Pond, the Eleventh Doctor’s companion in Doctor Who, from 2010 to 2013. After Doctor Who, Karen Gillan would join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Guardians of the Galaxy as Nebula. Gillan reprised her role as Nebula in two other Guardians of the Galaxy films as well as two Avengers movies.

6 Emily Blunt Emily Blunt joining the Star Wars universe would be massive news, regardless of the character she was to play. Be it in sci-fi stories such as Edge of Tomorrow, grounded dramas such as Sicario, or fantasy adventures such as Jungle Cruise, Emily Blunt-led action films are usually great. Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Order is bound to end in tragedy in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but Star Wars has at least two decades to cover in which Skywalker was a Jedi Master.
