Cover art by Munehiro Uchimichi. “Star Wars: The Last Command” Japanese edition. May, 1993.
The Japanese edition of “The Last Command” boasted original cover art by Munehiro Uchimichi, featuring a bad-ass Mara Jade! Until recently, only sub-par thumbnails could be found online. I managed to track down a physical copy of the book and scan it, so we could all enjoy!

A few months back, I had someone imply to me that they weren’t attracted to me, because I had gained weight.
I am the heaviest I’ve ever been. And yes, I want to lose weight and be fit for the sake of my health. Not because I think I don’t look good. I look GREAT… but I want to feel great too, physically.
But my mental health journey has been a LONG one, and the first chunk of it had to do with self image. I used to look in the mirror and hate what I saw. I used to cut up pictures of myself because I hated how I looked. I wore a size 4 and was small, but it was because I hated most foods and was afraid to try new things. My anxiety controlled my eating habits. I hated my hair, and was afraid to change it because everyone else loved it. My anxiety made me paranoid about how others saw me, if others liked how I looked. I genuinely hated myself.
Now, I look how I want and I love it. I wear what makes me feel confident, cute. You never would’ve caught me in a crop top 10 years ago, but now it’s basically all I wear. You never would’ve caught me wearing anything but black, but now I’ve learned to find the colors that look good on me. I’ve learned how to do my hair the way I LIKE IT and to buy clothes that reflect my personality, not hide my insecurities. I’ve learned to make myself feel cute every day, so that my mental health is in the best shape to tackle whatever the day throws at me.
Love yourself; it’s hard, but it’s necessary. I’m not afraid to say that I love how I look today. It’s not egotistical, or fishing for compliments to take that selfie and like how you look; it’s healing, it’s happiness, and it feels so damn good. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSUeKUcrYzm/?utm_medium=tumblr
I don't think she'll see this for a while, but as of January 1st, 2025, this is my girlfriend, and she is amazing, I want her to feel great, I want her to feel so great that it makes up for every moment she didn't, because she has already helped me with my own confidence. I'm so proud of how strong she is. I'm dating a beautiful poet and our adventure has only just begun ♡
I first met Brian, aka Lane Winree, four years ago on The Force.net’s fanfiction boards. We became friends thanks to Twitter, and a few months later I suckered him into writing a fanfic with me called X-Wing: Knights of Plooma.
Fast forward three years, one very momentous visit to Celebration VI and Dragon Con 2012, seven trips across the country, and countless hours on Skype…
Last weekend we got married, and we used Star Wars planets as the table names at our reception. We couldn’t think of a better name for our table than the one that started it all: Ploooooooooooooma.
If you say fanfiction is pointless, we’re going to have to have words.

Fandom History Time!
The year is 1981. Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back have been released; Return of the Jedi is still two years away. To communicate with other fans and read fanfic, people have to rely on zines. For four years, the zines have been flying under the radar of Lucasfilm, known about, but tolerated and allowed.
But things are about to change.
In May 1981, the zine Guardian published its third issue. It includes a Han/Leia story about them banging on the way to Bespin - "Slow Boat to Bespin," by Anne Elizabeth Zeek. By modern standards, it's all very tame.
HOWEVER! MORAL PANIC AT LUCASFILM ENSUES! WHO WILL THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!?!?!?
Lucasfilm quickly mails a cease and desist letter to the offensive zine. I highly recommend reading it as it's a hilarious time capsule of early 80's fandom:
My favorite bit: "The word has come down from GEORGE LUCAS, HIMSELF, that Star Wars pornography is unquestionably unacceptable. The damage done to the wholesomeness associated with the Star Wars Saga and its characters by such irresponsible publishers is permanent and hurts both Lucasfilm and its fans. Pornography is directly opposed to the very ideals and the spirit that the Star Wars Saga embodies."
Another letter is sent to non-offending zines reminding them never ever to talk about Luke's peepee:
How successful was LFL in these efforts to curtail x-rated fanfic? As of this writing, there are currently 32,758 Explicit-rated Star Wars stories on A03 alone. Fandom will not be stopped.
the zillo beast episodes in tcw were so funny like you KNOW dooku was watching the coruscant live feed in his castle and cheering for the beast to kill palpy. he chugged a whole bottle of wine when it didn't
Mara Jade commission for @jediscribe!!

May 4th Legends Deals
Happy May 4th Legends fans! Here are some discounts on Legends merch I've found around the Internet. I'm sure this list isn't exhaustive, so please add on anything I may have missed!
Books & Comics Merch
Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor book cover shirt - available in Boys (S-XL) at Target for $18.99 and Mens (S-3XL) Target $22.99 (through May 4th) or BoxLunch $21.67 (25% off May 4th & 5th)
BoxLunch also has the cover of Dark Horse Comics' 2013 run of Star Wars available as a shirt in Unisex sizing (S-2XL) for $21.67 (25% off May 4th & 5th)
In odd but cool pieces, we have a shirt from BoxLunch (25% off May 4th & 5th) that features the Hungarian cover art for the novel Han Solo and the Lost Legacy by Brian Daley. The shirt comes in Unisex M-XL, for $21.67,
and a Jaxxon statue for $170 at Gentle Giant (regular $200) discounted May 4th - 8th
TeeTurtle has a shirt on final clearance for $10 that shows Kit Fisto and "a padawan." Logically I know this is probably supposed to be his padawan from TCW, but at least to me it reads more as Bant Eerin, his padawan in the Jedi Apprentice chapter books. The shirt is available in Women's XS-3XL and Men's S-3XL.
Rock Love has their entire Star Wars stock 20% off May 3rd-6th, including this Rancor Tooth necklace for $56 (regular $75) that is arguably Tenel Ka vibes.
Chronicle Books has 20% off all Star Wars books and novelty products from May 4 - 20. This includes:
Star Wars: 100 Collectible Comic Book Cover Postcards ($19.96) which covers covers from the 70s to 2023, so it is mixed canon. The description promises Mara Jade, and some of the covers shown are Legends. Common sense (hopefully) dictates that the majority of cards will be from the Legends era since that is ~35 years of publication vs. ~11 years.
They also publish the in-universe guidebooks The Jedi Path ($17.56), Book of the Sith ($17.56), Bounty Hunter's Code ($17.56), and the Imperial Handbook ($17.56). There is also a $64 box set of the four books. These books also straddle Legends and current canon as they were published in 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively.
More items in the category of "we slapped a comic cover on this" that are 25% off May 4th & 5th at BoxLunch include:
The 1998 manga edition of ANH as a unisex sweatshirt (S-2XL) for $33.67,
Issue #7 of Marvel's 1997 run of Star Wars comics that is available in a variety of shirt styles,
and the Infinities ANH #1 cover as "framed wood wall art," whatever that means, for $18.67.
There are some Thrawn items that are stylistic enough there isn't a hard line in the differences between his Legends and current canon looks.
Funko is Buy 2 Get 1 Free through the 5th and they have Thrawn as a mini keychain ($5) and regular Pop ($12).
BoxLunch also has the regular size Thrawn Pop for $7.74 (40% off with code BLGIFTS). It will be 25% off ($9.67) May 4th-5th, and I don't know if that discount stacks, or if the 40% off will go away.
BoxLunch also has several Thrawn shirt designs that will be 25% off May 4th-5th.
The Triptych Grand Admiral Thrawn design comes in Unisex T-shirt (S, L-2XL) for $21.67, Women's T-shirt (S-2XL) for $21.67, long sleeve T-shirt unisex (S-2XL) for $24.67, unisex sweatshirt (S-2XL) for $33.67, and a Youth Hoodie (S-XL) for $33.67
