Chat corner 4: Legendary

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

 

Optional chat prompt

Lets make this week about Legends, or what was formerly known as the Expanded Universe. (For others equally baffled as me, here’s the Wookieepedia page.)

Do you have any Legends stories/media that you particularly like? Something you wish would get pulled back into canon, like a few characters and plots have been? Opinions about the retcon itself? (Just a heads up, this might need to go to the Dark Side post depending on how ranty you wanna get.)

Oooh, Legends! And there's already been a Mara Jade mention! YAAY!

At this point, it is completely my headcanon that Rey's mother was a Mara-Jade-type character--- Force sensitive taken as a kid to be trained to serve Palpatine... then she met his son, and they had this glorious bittersweet childhood-sweethearts thing, and Palps' effort at conditioning her broke because she saw how he treated his own kid. And then when the Empire fell, they took a bunch of cred from the black-ops accounts she would've had access to and went bashing around the galaxy for a while and figuring their shit out before they had Rey (which is what Han and Leia should have done instead of having a kid while Leia was in the middle of Jedi training and rebuilding a galactic government and and and.... sorry, that's a topic for another post, and probably needs to go on the Dark side at that). So anyway.

...oh, I like that headcanon. I have to admit that I'm not a fan of that whole, uh, thing, but this totally works for me.
