MARA JADE SKYWALKER COSTUME REFERENCES

This is Mara Jade Skywalker as a Jedi Master. This costume consists of a long, emerald green dress with a pocketed overskirt.

Mara wears boots wrapped with fabric (or possible leather) strips, and shoulder armor. In some pictures this armor looks metallic, such as the cover to "Heir to the Empire"

But in others it appears that it could possibly be covered with leather. She carries a shoulder bag of light brown or tan, a silver brooch at the center front of her dress, and carries Luke's first lightsaber on her belt.

Her long red hair is worn in a single, centered braid, although some pictures show her with a second, thin and short braid worn on the left side of the head behind the ear.

Mara appears in this costume in Steven Sansweet's original "Star Wars Encyclopedia: on page 147.

In 1996, Mara was immortalized by Topps, in their "Star Wars Finest" card set, card # 46
