Isn't she the one who suggested killing Chewie? EDIT: No, she bullied them into letting her kill Mara Jade.Eh, I think she screwed over the Skywalker grandkids a lot more than she did the mandos.
I never gave any credit to the cloning program post creation of the Empire. It's much easier to manage everything by conscripting than it is to grow / clone. Plus it would be much easier to program another order 66 if they followed up on the cloning bit.
Is the force unleashed story considered canon or did that get recon'd too? They did stupid crazy cloning in those two games.
From a post:What happened was Karen Traviss pushed to kill Mara Jade and the rest of the team on LotF disagreed with her. She insisted on it. It was her idea. She never informed Timothy Zahn about this when he was working on a new Mara Jade novel however. It was clear that the rest of the LotF team did not agree with killing Mara Jade and not only did Karen come up with the idea, she insisted on it.
The other authors also didn't want Mandalorians involved in LotF but Karen insisted on it.
Another:Karen Traviss wasn't just responsible for theunsanctionedkilling of Mara. She was also responsible for giving the rest of the Expanded Universe writing team a helluva headache and a LOT of garbage to clean up.
She is probably a millionare just because she helped ruin Star Wars EU.
