Oh, I agree, definitely. I was just glad to see some female captains and heads-of-state and stuff. Although Mara Jade is not one of my favorites. |D;; idk, I've been reading in the EU but I have a hard time developing any attactment to the non-canon characters. They feel like OCs in fanfic. Which... basically they are.

Ugh yes. My girlfriend and I kept going, "Is that supposed to be a loving relationship?"
