Re: Mara Jade Holster/Blaster

In The Emperor's Hand comics, she had a Vader ROTJ saber. In some images she has a DL44. In one of the video games she has a cool golden lightsaber. I think there's wiggle room in terms of what is "official" Mara Jade, since as an EU character she's been in 40 years' worth of stories.

Right. She probably uses all kinds of weapons. In the comic, her ship had a compartment full of all types of blasters, lightsabers, etc.

"Canon" referes to something being "official".
Now this all depends on who you talk to, but many consider anything that was not in the Star Wars movies "non-canon", as in it never really existed...so to speak. If it was not put down by the hand of George Lucas, it's not really official.

That wasn't LFL's position, in the 1990s at least.

That said, I'm on the verge of tossing the prequels out of my personal Star Wars canon, let alone all the novels...
