Mara Jade is part of the third round of the comics-inspired sub-line of Hasbro’s Star Wars: The Black Series. An assassin for Emperor Palpatine, Mara's life changes when she meets - and eventually marries - Luke Skywalker. Out of all the Expanded Universe (Legacy) characters, there is a special affection for Mara Jade amongst fans and collectors - and in the Spring of 2023, Hasbro made a lot of collectors happy with her release in the Star Wars Black Series.

I still remember how excited I was when Mara Jade showed up in Galoob's Micro Machines Epic Collections and when Kenner released her in the Power of the Force 2 Expanded Universe line.

The box is plastic-free so when you open the front cover, which is held in place with a slot-in cardboard tab and not Velcro like the previous releases, you are simply faced with another box front inside, not a look at the figure itself when we had window boxes.

In fact I want to build a selective and subjective collection of Black Series figures - only obscure and eccentric Star Wars characters that appeal to me visually.

It translates to her still wearing the all-black get-up that she’s best known for, so it works fine by me. The Mara Jade figure is dressed head to toe in her black flight suit - cast in the base colour - with the entirety of this body taken from the original EU Black Series release, Jaina Solo, and as was also used on the Doctor Aphra release.STAR WARS PUBLISHING: This Mara Jade action figure is inspired by her appearances throughout Star Wars novels and comic books -- a great gift for Star Wars collectors and fans ages 4 and up. Inspired by the Dark Force Rising comic adaptation, Mara includes blaster and lightsaber accessories. The head is also in keeping with the real-world setting of the Black Series line and the accessories match the character.

Mara is based on her appearance in Dark Force Rising, allowing her to be a direct follow-up to Luke from Heir, by virtue of being the next entry in that trilogy. Mara Jade is a Publishing Series release, part of the 3rd wave, and she is packed in the book-style packaging with box art based on her appearance in the Dark Force Rising story. She shares the torso and legs with that release and gets a new head and arms to differentiate things. Her head isn't easily removed (many of the Black Series heads aren't), so unless you really heat things up, it's a permanent piece.

BUILD A GALAXY OF COLLECTIBLES: Look for more entertainment-inspired Star Wars The Black Series collector figures to build a Star Wars galaxy (Each sold separately. My only complaints are the lack of alternative hands and the saber blade connection which is very weak. With exquisite features and decoration, this series embodies the quality and realism that Star Wars devotees love.

The saber blade is a nice shade of purple while retaining translucency and the blade swaps out easily enough - but the socket and plug are quite delicate and the blade on my figure already wobbles far too much.To further differentiate Mara from Jaina, Mara gets extra add-ons for her shoulder harness, bandana, and goggles. I liked The Mandalorian season 3, I still love the Marvel Star Wars comics, and I'm very much enjoying Ahsoka, but I do have to say that Hasbro's Star Wars: The Black Series offerings haven't done much for me this year to date. Hasbro is a toy and game company whose mission is to entertain and connect generations of fans through the wonder of storytelling and the excitement of play.
