    Mara Jade, Adriral Dalla, Shire Berie, Tenel Ka, ect.

    All hot, All redheads.

    Is this a thing, or Authors giving the people what they want. I like Tenel Ka the best though. Only wished whe accpted a prostithis. But I wouldent accept anything from a grandmother like hers. probably have a bomb planted in the damn thing.

    But a Jedi could build get her one.

    She ironically got one by a typo in "Ruin"

    So good for them.

    And redheads used to be exotic enough to differentiate a woman's looks, not in SW anymore.

    Red hair, green eyes, fiery tempered, fairly strong/powerful...very common scifi cliche for female characters. It doesn't surprise me that it eventually wormed its way into Star Wars.

    No. What's really scary is how many of those women snuggled with Luke Skywalker.

    conspiracy ahead, be warned:


    Tenel Ka is so cute, like a little version of Mara...

    and we know Mara was overseeing the Jedi temple while Tenel Ka was with Luke at the praxeum. they even had to pose as a couple in dathomir, when they searched for the solokids who were captured on the shadow academy. so... how close were they really? how far went playoing couple? did he betray Mara out of lonelyness..

    I warned you!

    Well, there is no shortage of people rumored to be entertaining Mara on the sideline, so...

    Think Luke was ever with scarlet from GI Joe?

    I think she took one look at his lightsaber, and it was love at first sight.

    Which would be about the same amount of depth put into most of his Luke's other relationship in the EU, as well.

    There's nothing wrong or repetitive with red hair ladies. Cracken is red hair; Rendar is red hair.

    Ann of Green Gable is carrot headed.

    Anyone read the recent hardcover Firethorn? Then tell me about cliche red-heads . . . :p

    Don't let a score of books give you the impresion red hair women are spicy and hot, or amazonic natured. They're not, and you must look beyond such conception. It's no different to a browner.

    Why, Organa was strong willed, brownies must be strong willed too! I don't care how many executive sous chefs tell me that pavlova was the fluffiest, just like Anna Pavlova's ballet that inspired it. If it crumbled apart too well, then I'm eating debris in essence, not pavlova.

    Going along with Excellence's theory:
    Mon Mothma
    Garm Bel Iblis
    Bail Organa
    Bail Antilies
    Padme Amidala
    Leia Organa Solo
    Are all Brunette Senator's who disobeyed the empire. do all Brunettes now star Rebellions

    And Danni Quee was smart so are all Blondes suddenly smart now? No way :p

    The same for Twi'leks. Bacta War would have made Star Wars Purists have a fit: a Twi'lek showed as a freedom-fighting warrior, not a majordomo or nubile floor dancer?

    NOO!

    Hell, Artoo could have been a one-time droid pimp, for all I cared. Not just a whistling teakettle.

    Ooh don't get me started on Twi'leks. It seems like females have only 3 jobs: x-wing pilot, Slave Dancer, or Jedi.

    But that's all they're good for!

    ;)

    Seriously, though, I'm surprised to admit how often women get relegated into those roles, unless they're canon character. Lucas tended to give his females high-ranking positions in his own writing. [face_thinking]

    I can't believe I'm saying this... but I kind of want to see an ugly Twi'lek female. We've only seen hot ones. Even Nolaa Tarkona was hot.

    Zahn seems to be the only one truly in love with his redheaded character, going so far as to disregard every other authors work involving her.

    In a random note, I saw a really hot redhead outside my office today.

    Didn't think she was a Star Wars character though.

    I think part of the problem is that you can only use brown, blond or white SO MUCH before you start to run into redheads. I mean, we have plenty of descriptions of Gaeriel, Shada, Winter, Qwi Xux, Iella, Mirax, etc. and you realize that it's a fairly even split...
