Character Background

Mara Jade was introduced in Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire (1991). Originally an Emperor’s Hand, she was trained as an assassin loyal to Palpatine. After his death, she became a smuggler, later a Jedi Knight, and eventually married Luke Skywalker, cementing her place as one of the most iconic Expanded Universe characters.

By the late 1990s, they launched the ARTFX line, specializing in high-quality PVC statues. In 2001, Kotobukiya secured the Lucasfilm license, producing acclaimed Star Wars collectibles that blend Japanese artistry with Western pop culture.
