i wonder is mara jade still a thing

Thrawn has the privilege of being the first canon-immigrant from the old EU to the, uh, new EU (a lot of people call it DU as in Disney Universe). From my understanding the character depicted in the new canon is very similar to what came before it's just that his active presence has been shifted to during the galactic civil war instead of afterwards.

Technically Mara Jade is still a thing because Disney can't literally erase all of that material but she exists now in the void of non-canon "Legends" lore. Given her heavy interaction with key characters she doesn't seem like an easy fudge-in like we could do with someone like Revan whose original story was already extremely detached from the "main" narrative. Again I'll say I'm quite surprised to see how far Mara Jade's stock with fans appears to have fallen, she got creamed during that last fan poll.
