Write Mara Jade into Star Wars: Episode VII

Dear Messrs. Abrams and Kasdan,

Mara Jade is one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Please write her into Episode VII and allow her to live forever on the silver screen.

Why is this important?

Mara Jade is one of the most beloved figures in the Star Wars universe, despite having never before been featured in a Star Wars film. Disney's recent announcement de-canonizing nearly all of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, a canon lovingly and thoroughly fleshed out by hundreds of fans and contributors since the late 1970s, has put her fate at risk. Mara Jade deserves to live on in infamy, in official canon, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Please help salvage the dreams of myself and thousands of others whose favorite Star Wars characters Disney has just killed. Write Mara Jade into Episode VII. You can alter her backstory as necessary; just give us her kick-ass personality and her lustrous red hair. Also, the new cast is very very male.
