4 | ''Star Wars: Union'' is a four-issue comic book series written by Creator/MichaelStackpole and illustrated by Robert Teranishi, set in the Franchise/StarWarsLegends, taking place shortly after the ''Literature/HandOfThrawn'' duology. |
5 | |
6 | The impossible has, in fact, occurred: the [[TheEmpire Imperial]] [[TheRemnant Remnant]] and the [[TheAlliance New Republic]] have signed a peace treaty. Wait, sorry, that's not the impossible part; ''Luke Skywalker proposing to Mara Jade'' is. |
7 | |
8 | It's Wedding of the Century time. |
9 | |
10 | 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 {{Past Experience Nightmare}}s, and a splinter cell of Imperials figures this is the time to strike... |
11 | ->'''Han''': On a scale of one to the Death Star? It's about... heck, kid, just elope. |
12 | |
13 | C'mon. Did anybody really think this was going to go smoothly? |

15 | ---- |
16 | !!In addition to the inherent ''Franchise/StarWars'' character and universe tropes, this series provides examples of: |
17 | |
18 | * ActionGirl: Mara Jade. |
19 | * 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. Oops. |
20 | * ContinuityNod: All over the place: |
21 | ** "That dream I had gave me a bad feeling--" [[CatchphraseInterruptus "Don't say it."]] |
22 | ** As Karrde and Booster discuss the good news, we see the ''Errant Venture'' beginning to get its bright red paint job, which is complete by ''Literature/SurvivorsQuest''. |
23 | ** Cameos by [[Literature/JediAcademyTrilogy Kam, Tionne]], [[Literature/XWingSeries Wedge, Tycho, Wes, Hobbie, Corran, Mirax, Booster...]] the list goes on. |
24 | ** Three Rogues sprung into action, showing that Rogues aren't only good at flying. |
25 | ** As well as a completely nonsensical cameo by [[ComicBook/DarkEmpire Empatojayos Brand]], who by that point had been dead for 8 years. |
26 | * {{Fanservice}}: The bathhouse scene. Pretty tasteful as fanservice goes. |
27 | * {{Forgiveness}} |
28 | * HappilyMarried: Luke and Mara. Also, we're reminded of the successes of Han and Leia and Corran and Mirax. |
29 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: The Imperial saboteurs. |
30 | * InkSuitActor: Kam Solusar is clearly based on Bruce Willis. |
31 | ** Wes Janson as Tommy Lee Jones |
32 | ** Steve Buscemi as Iry Danta, an imperial saboteur |
33 | ** Peter Stormare as Moff Derran Takkar |
34 | ** Jack Nicholson as guardsman/assassin Chik Apla |
35 | ** Bruce Campbell as imperial saboteur turned good, Banner Sumptor |
36 | ** Ashley Judd as Iella Wessiri Antilles |
37 | ** Winona Ryder as Mirax Terrik Horn |
38 | ** Mira Sorvino as Mara Jade soon to be Skywalker |
39 | * MyOwnPrivateIDo: A private ceremony just for the Jedi, and a public one for the galaxy. |
40 | * [[{{Narm/StarWars}} Narm]]: Some of the romantic dialogue. It was written by Stackpole, so this is probably to be expected. |
41 | * NoodleIncident: [[Literature/XWingSeries Wes and Hobbie]] apparently did something with a champagne fountain at a different wedding. |
42 | * PimpedOutDress: Some of the possible ideas from Mara's fitting. The one Mara ends up with is on the reasonable side. |
43 | * StagParty: Luke's erupts into a BarBrawl. |
44 | * WeddingSmashers: The attempts at sabotaging the public ceremony. |
