Ulic Qel-Droma appeared to Anakin Skywalker almost 4000 years after his death in one minor game, which is canon.

That was very definitely a hologram. Force ghosts don't have scan lines.

But he vanished into the Force when he died, becoming one with it.

Where is this said? Maybe I need to drag out my TotJ stuff again.

you know I just read allegiance, and while It's completely unrelated, I found a connection to Mara and Mace Windu, since if she's the sacrifice it'd be safe to assume it's along the lines of how Anakin killed master Windu. When she first draws her lightsaber in Allegiance, she recalls how Palpatine had told her only one jedi in the past century had carried a blade that color, and how he had given her the crystal for it. She said she couldn't recall how he had gotten it. So basically, it leads you to the conclusion that her original lightsaber carried the same heart as master Windu's. Maybe Zahn was dropping a hint at how one of his favorite creations was going to meet her end.

-He doesn't get consulted about his character or anything. Mara could be killed and he would have no idea. Once he writes something, it becomes property of Lucas.
[...]
-That in Allegiance, he wanted mara's lightsaber to be Mace's, but they edited it out.

Rampant speculation, though... the absence of any other real reference to Luke is suspicious, and the underlying mood of the scene could fit

Maybe Karen wrote the husbands in Bloodlines and the wives in Sacrifice.

Zahn wanted it to be Mace Windu's lightsaber/crystal that Mara was given, but was told to change it by the editors. This was reported from Zahn's Lexington, KY book signing for Allegiance. Enough implication is there to make us all wonder, but it's not Mace's.
