* BarBrawl: Luke's bachelor party, organized by Han and Wedge, is in a seedy tavern. The splinter cell sees this as a good chance to strike... when the entire room is either ex-smugglers, Jedi, [[FourStarBadass military officers who earned it]], or some combination thereof. [[WhatAnIdiot Oops.]]

Unnecessary, given that all Legends material is considered this. Also, fifteen years of licensed Star Wars material was published after this with Luke and Mara being married.


* CanonDiscontinuity: The wedding of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade, if not all the series, is disregarded by Creator/GeorgeLucas as part of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' story. In 2008, Lucas [[https://twitter.com/LaFamiliaFilm/status/540508589891526657/photo/1 stated]] that the story of the saga is Darth Vader's tragedy and that once he dies in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', Luke doesn't get married. Anyway, with Disney's buyout of Lucasfilm and the subsequent canon reboot, not only did the events of ''Star Wars: Union'' never actually happen, but the character of Mara Jade herself, as of currently, doesn't existed at all.

And not everybody's happy about it. The press starts spinning scenarios about "a Jedi power-base to establish a Force Empire," the plans for a small intimate wedding were scuttled the moment Threepio got involved, Mara can't find a dress, she and Luke are ''both'' having BadDreams, and a splinter cell of Imperials figures this is the time to strike...
