Luke Skywalker had a wife, Mara Jade, in the early Star Wars novels, non of which are now considered canon, and many fans were interested to see if her story was going to be told in The Force Awakens or The Last Jedi, but that was not to be.
There were many gripes about The Last Jedi by hardcore Star Wars fans, with Rian Johnson’s dark portrayal of Luke Skywalker being one of the main complaints.
However, The Last Jedi novel begins in a curious way that features Luke Skywalker on Tatooine along with his wife.
Was Luke Skywalker really married between the events at the end of Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens?
