[edit] Mara Jade: By the Emperor's Hand

"Victims run off and hide. Prey runs off and hides. But I'm not a victim. And I'm not prey. I'm the Emperor's Hand. I am the ultimate predator. And it's time for Dequc and Black Nebula to die."
―Mara during her hunt for Dequc[src]

―Mara Jade on Darth Vader[src]


"During my training, I have witnessed few who dared defy the empire. My master made certain they were always quickly... corrected. When a planet falls out of line, it too must be corrected.

―Mara Jade[src]

―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]

―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"That doesn't impress me, either. Karrde already told me he'd mentioned my name to you."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"Save your gratitude. As far as I'm concerned, the only question left is whether we turn you over to the Imperials or kill you ourselves."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"There's one other one. You try to escape... and I kill you right here and now."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"Shut up. Just shut up."
―Mara Jade[src]


"We don't have any lock for the window but there's an alarm on it. You try going out, and it'll be a toss- up as to whether the vornskrs get to you before I do. But don't take my word on it. Try it and find out."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"I can fly anything."
―Mara Jade[src]

―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]

―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"Let me tell you something, Skywalker. I've wanted to kill you for a long time. I dreamed about your death every night for most of that first year. Dreamed it, plotted it- I must have run through a thousand scenarios , trying to find exactly the right way to do it. You can call it a cloud on my judgement if you want to: I'm used to it by now. It's the closest thing I've got to a permanent companion."

"The great, omniscient Jedi. See all, hear all, know all, understand all. No, we didn’t actually meet, but I was there, if you’d bothered to notice me. I was a dancer at Jabba the Hutt’s palace the day you came for Solo."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"Vader? Don't make me laugh. Vader was a fool, and skating on the edge of treason along with it. My master sent me to Jabba’s to kill you, not recruit you."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"I was his hand, Skywalker. That’s how I was known to his inner court: as the Emperor’s Hand. I served him all over the galaxy, doing jobs the Imperial Fleet and stormtroopers couldn’t handle. That was my one great talent, you see – I could hear his call from anywhere in the Empire, and report back to him the same way. I exposed traitors for him, brought down his enemies, helped him keep the kind of control over the mindless bureaucracies that he needed. I had prestige, and power, and respect. And you took it all away from me. If only for that, you deserve to die."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"Like we were casual tourists out here with nothing to hide?"
―Mara Jade[src]

―Mara's conflicted thoughts.[src]

―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker about Joruus C'baoth[src]

[edit] Darksaber

"The other reason I came in person, is that occasionally - for some unknown reason - I almost look forward to seeing you, Skywalker. Not often....... but there are times."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]

[edit] Showdown at Centerpoint

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd be just as happy if this stayed nice and simple."
―Mara Jade on Selonia[src]

[edit] Specter of the Past

"So. Do you want to get off me or are you just getting comfortable?"
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]

[edit] Vision of the Future

Mara: "Stupid, stupid. A big fat diversion—the oldest trick on the list. And I fell for it like some dumb farm kid."
Luke: "Watch your language."
―Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker[src]


"Blast it, Skywalker, stay out of my mind."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]

―Mara Jade[src]


"You didn't know, but after that pirate base thing, Faughn told me you and I made a good team. She was right. We really did."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"I can't just offer that kind of blank-line invitation. Sure I can be loyal; but only to the people *I* choose to be loyal to. I'm not ready to open myself up to anyone who walks in off the street. Besides, I keep remembering stories about how the last step to becoming a Jedi is usually making some supreme and rather ugly personal sacrifice. I'm not crazy about that one either."
―Mara Jade[src]


"Commitment? You're the one telling me about commitment? What about Callista, or Gaeriel, or any of the other women you've brushed paths with over the past ten years? Where's been the commitment there?"
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"You acknowledge your mistakes, and learn from them. Then you pick up and move on."
―Mara Jade[src]


"What was between Lando and me was...absolutely nothing."
―Mara Jade[src]


"It took some years. Off and on work, of course. For whatever it's worth, the romance part of the cover story drove me crazy."
―Mara Jade[src]


"Oh, come now. When have I ever made anything easy for you?"
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"And by the way, just for future reference, don't you *ever* not care for someone just because you're afraid they might get hurt in the process. Especially not me. You got that?"
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"Hang on a minute. I'll come with you."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"No. He liked Mara, certainly. Liked her very much. She was smart and resourceful, with a mental and emotional toughness he could rely on, plus a sharp humor and irreverence that made for a refreshing contrast with the automatic and unthinking awe too many people held in him these days. She'd been a trusted ally through some very hard and dangerous times, sticking with him and Han and Leia even when the rest of a hostile New Republic hierarchy had declared her untrustworthy."
―Luke Skywalker's thoughts on Mara in Vision of the Future


"And perhaps most of all, she was strong and capable in the Force, with the ability to share his thoughts and emotions in a way that even a couple as close as Han and Leia couldn't experience."
―Luke Skywalker's thoughts on Mara in Vision of the Future


"But he wouldn't love her. He couldn't take that risk. Every time in the past that he had allowed himself the luxury of caring that deeply about a woman something terrible happened to her. Gaeriel had been killed. Callista had lost her Jedi abilities and finally left him. The list of tragedies sometimes seemed endless."
―Luke Skywalker's thoughts on Mara in Vision of the Future


[edit] Union

"I love it that even after all these years, Luke Skywalker, you can still be so naive."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"When I first met Luke, I was under a compulsion to kill him. Generally not a good sign for a lasting relationship. Such was his courage that he did not run, and did not strike me. He accepted me, as no one else had done before."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"I love you, too, Luke, and remember, I found you."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"For a relationship that started with me trying to kill you, this has become more than I could have imagined. I have never felt more complete than now, knowing we will be together, for eternity."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]

[edit] Survivor's Quest

"Doesn't look promising, does it?"
―Mara Jade Skywalker during the search for Outbound Flight[src]

―Mara Jade Skywalker to her husband Luke[src]


"…whatever it is we wind up facing, we'll be facing it together."
―Mara Jade Skywalker to Luke Skywalker[src]

[edit] Dark Tide I: Onslaught

"The key thing is to find out for certain if my illness is connected to the Yuuzhan Vong. If it is, when I get healthy, the Yuuzhan Vong will pay."
―Mara Jade Skywalker[src]


"And I will miss you, too, husband. But, our being apart from time to time is something I also accepted when I became your wife. We part now so we can be together forever. Not the best bargain in life, but not the worst, either. And, for now, husband mine, it is a bargain I am more than happy to accept."
―Mara Jade Skywalker to Luke[src]


"No, I need to get back to who I am and how I interact with the Force. You remember me when we first met? You remember how I was?"
―Mara Jade Skywalker[src]


"Luke, I'm a fighter. I've always been a fighter. The few times when I have been at leisure, I've been miserable. I want challenges, I crave them. As nice an peaceful as it was up north here, it lulled me, dulled me, took the edge off. Anakin made it so I had no needs, and Dantooine -- before the Yuuzhan Vong -- had nothing more dangerous than big thorns to worry about. I was wasting away, trying to conserve my strengh, all the while turning away from the means I'd used in the past to tap the Force."
―Mara Jade Skywalker[src]


"As long as I'm fighting, I'm not dying."
―Mara Jade Skywalker[src]


"I am so glad I found you and didn't kill you"
―Mara Jade Skywalker to Luke Skywalker[src]


"Stay here with me. Tell me a story of Belkadan and a Jedi Master with two blades. Spending time with my husband is the best medicine on Dantooine, and I will gladly take as much as you can spare."
―Mara Jade to Luke Skywalker[src]


"Out of character to be so obvious. You need to be more subtle. Locate a partially blocked artery in his brain, then just pinch it off. Bang, he's down and it's over."
―Mara Jade Skywalker[src]

[edit] Dark Tide II: Ruin

"Oh, Jedi sarcasm. I'm wounded."

―Mara and Luke on occupied Coruscant[src]


Face: "Kiss for luck?"
Mara: "I don't know whether to mark that down as 'exceptionally daring' or 'unusually stupid."

―Elassar Targon to Mara[src]

―Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker on Coruscant[src]

Mara: "Farmboy, you’re asking for a beating…"
