What actress could portray Mara Jade?
CorranHorn:
The other night in the FFURG chatroom several people and I were discussing what actresses could be good fits to play the role of Mara Jade if sequels to the OT were ever done and they were based on the established EU. It was an interesting discussion and I thought I'd try to get a wider scope of a view on the thought. Got to keep in mind that the actress should be someone who if she isn't a natural redhead would look the part of a redhead like Mara who looks very similar to a typical Irish woman (don't go thinking I'm being stereotypical with that statement, I've got a bit of Irish in me :D).
Some suggestions I heard were:
Monica Belucci, Angelina Jolie, and Nikki Cox.
The first two didn't seem like they would be a visual match for Mara with a dye job, and Nikki Cox just seems to flighty to me to be in an action role that would be typical for Mara.
My choice was Charlize Theron, she has both the look and the presence to pull the role off and if you have ever seen her as a redhead, all I can say good gawd almighty! ;D
So what do you think, if we were to be blessed with EU-based Episodes 7 thru 9 what actress could easily fit the role of Mara Jade?
jokabofe:
how about jennifer garner? she might fit the bill pretty well...

Uh... How 'bout Shannon Baska?! :P Or is she not technically an "actress". She's who we're all accustomed to, so if she's not an actress, then sign her up for some acting lessons and stick her in there. She couldn't be worse than a lot of the other Star Wars actors/actresses, could she? ;)
The Jennifer Garner suggestion is a decent one too, but I'd be afraid that she'd tower of Luke, and look like she could kick his ass too...
Reconsgt:
you know Matt I always thought Shannon Baska was a little to anorexic looking to be Mara Jade. I envision someone a little more athletic looking. Along the lines of Dina Meyer.
jadesfire:
I like Famke Janssen or Sandra Bullock.
Both would do a good job with Famke having a slight edge as she was so good in Golden Eye and X-men, kind of a hint of Mara in both moives.
