    Yes, either you think she was a soldier doing her duty for the empire or a Sith psycho killer.

    Not Sith psycho killer, just psycho killer. Calling her Sith would elevate her to the level of Vader, which she isn't.

    Ok, I get it. Suzuki probably told you, I am slow at understanding things sometimes...it comes with age I think. [face_laugh]

    Yes, it's true. It's okay Academygrad, sometimes slow and steady really does win the race. If your opponent is slower than you or just incredibly vain and stupid...

    No. She is so many levels above Vader. And she can do things Vader cannot. Like go unnoticed, infiltrate, do things quietly, wear catsuits, etc. (come on you don't want to see Vader in a catsuit) [Or do you? ;)]

    (come on you don't want to see Vader in a catsuit)

    For once, I agree with you. I don't want to see Vader in a catsuit. *pokes out own eyes at thought*

    On a more serious note:

    And she can do things Vader cannot. Like go unnoticed, infiltrate, do things quietly...

    And then after she does that, she's worse than Vader. Her sole advantadge is that she wasn't knocked into a lava pit and now has to wear a suit. Of course, Vader negates that with the suit, because of all its cool attributes:

    1. Get to talk like JEJ instead of Hayden Christensen.
    2. Built-in iPod.
    3. Built-in whiskey/vodka cooler.
    4. Gets an indestructible black glove for his right hand that signifies who will rule the Empire. I bet that's wookiee's favorite part. :p ;)
    5. Built-in comlink, weapons, etc.

    If you put it that way, Mara would kill for the suit. I mean, at the NJO, she's kind of conspicuous anyway. A woman pushing 50 who looks like she's less than 25, with red-gold hair, great looks, and the galaxy's most famous man for a husband. Yeah. Real good at infiltrating.

    And yes, I was being silly with the "serious" part of the post, and serious about the silly part.

    That's good

    2. Built-in iPod.

    Thats great but what can he get? Probably has the "Force save the Emperor." going.

    3. Built-in whiskey/vodka cooler.

    Sweet! Now we know why Vader was so grouchy sometimes. He had a hangover.

    4. Gets an indestructible black glove for his right hand that signifies who will rule the Empire. I bet that's wookiee's favorite part.

    Ahh yes the should be forgotten Glove of Extreme Pain.

    5. Built-in comlink, weapons, etc.

    Weapons? Aren't you thinking of Nyax?

    And I think Mara looks 26.

    (come on you don't want to see Vader in a catsuit) [Or do you?]

    [face_thinking] ...Um..are we talking about a young Vader played by Hayden Christenson or an old Vader played by some elderly British guy? It does make a difference!

    I mean, at the NJO, she's kind of conspicuous anyway. A woman pushing 50 who looks like she's less than 25, with red-gold hair, great looks, and the galaxy's most famous man for a husband. Yeah. Real good at infiltrating.

    [face_laugh] I think Mara has done pretty good for herself. Anyway, she was not trying to infiltrate when all that happened...or was she? [face_devil]

    Well, You guys mis-counted, because it?s 6 pro?Mara, you forgot about me. [face_not_talking]

    Anywhat, Mara was definately not Psycho killer, Canon evidence state that she was doing her duty, serving what she was lead to believe was the good of the people without malice or selfish desire. There is no evidence to support the idea that any of her targets weren?t either legitimate military targets (actual Rebels), high-ranking Imperials who had become a definate threat, or the most dangerous of criminals. Nor is there any evidence that state that she did so for personal gain or pleasure. Was Mara a complete Innocent? No, she wasn?t? she had blood on her hands. However, she was not guilty of attrocities, nor was she evil.

    How could we have forgotten Tramp? --One of the greatest Mara supporters that ever lived?!! I guess thinking about Darth Vader in a sexy, tight-fitting, black leather body suit just drove me to distraction. =P~ ;)

    Suzuki, you are a trouble maker. :D

    Anyway, I was kidding. I am rarely serious in these discussions. Don't you see the ;) or :) or :D icons? If I was serious I would have a :mad: or [face_frustrated] or a [face_skull].
