Is this bait to try and win back some of the fandom?

Can't say I was ever a Mara Jade fan. This is a nothing rumor.

I agree, if they really did want to steer in a new direction they should not bring characters strongly anchored to the old setting. I never watched the Rebels so I don't know how similar that Thrawn is to the old-EU one. They might however take the character as a template much like Jan Ors, and create a new character called Morra Jaido or something...I loved Mara Jade and the original Thrawn Trilogy but I don't think this will amount to anything. Even though Thrawn was reworked to be in the new canon, I don't see a way for them to really work Mara Jade into the new story without causing all kinds of story problems. Even if they shifted her to fit into the new canon, it likely wouldn't work. The basis of her character was intrinsically tied to Luke and the Emperor and since both are dead then there really wouldn't be a point to bringing her into the story now.
Well Lucas seriously considered granting Jedis that had become one with the force the ability to re-materialize. I believe he toyed with having either Obi-wan and/or Yoda do so in ROTJ to help Luke with the Emperor. Here's hoping JJ at least considers exploring this option to allow Luke to return in the flesh for some actual action and excitement. I would normally abhor such extreme plot devices, but in this case it presents a viable option for allowing Luke to have the exit he deserves.
Just no.
He signed on for the class of '77 reunion and Luke Skywalker got relegated to one scene at the end of VII. Then he came back for VIII only for some ZERO SWIQ HACK to completely re-write his character. If he is not under contract, I really hope he doesn't return only to get F'd over for the third time. It'll just be embarrassing.
I get the impression with Mark that he is passionate about SW and Luke Skywalker. Unlike most actors, he often refers to his character as 'me' or 'I' and IMO what they do to one they do to the other. Ignore him. Disrespect him. Belittle him.
Besides all that, such a scenario would not only detract from the all powerful Mary Sue...I mean Rey but would also indicate acknowledgement of TLJ's failings and Diseaseny/LFL/KK are not going to admit that.
They had the opportunity to create some amazing new SW and they chose not to take it. Go figure!
Mark Hamill is the heart and soul of the series and the fandom. Pure and simple.
What if Mara HID REY from Luke...
dun dun DUNNN!!!

That's my guess... My thought is they are going to try to correct course
...So far Lucasfilm has been implying that the fans who didn't like TLJ are the the ones who are wrong and that they wouldn't change a thing. So until they start hinting otherwise, I'm assuming E9 is going to continue the crap fest.
