Oh she's baby then? Wasn't she The Emperor's Hand?
Actually I had never thought of this possible discrepancy.

Mara Jade married Luke Skywalker eventually. So in view of that, we assume that they are about the same age or at least not too far apart in age.

Luke met Mara who tried to killed him initially as Luke killed the emperor.

Mara was the Emperor's Hand. She could not have joined during the era of Episode I to III as she would have been too young.

It was only in Episode VI that Luke faced the Emperor and defeated him with the help of his father.

So we can guess that Mara probably become the Emperor's hand around the time of Episode IV or V.

Does this sound logical?

Has anyone work out the time duration in no. of years between each episodes?

Some of the books actually has the timeline at the first few pages.
All time reference to SWIV A New Hope before and after.

According to the below timeline... Mara Jade first appearance (Timothy Zahn's onlime comic) is 5 years prior to SW IV.
It won't be surprising that Mara is older than Luke as Anakin & Padme age differences.

From what I know, ESB takes place 3 years after ANH. Btw ESB & ROTJ, there's an interlude of 1 year, during which the events of shadows of the empire takes place.

Palpy started training her when she was 4yrs old, to be one of his elite Hands. By the time she made her first appearance, she would already have been a highly skilled killer. So I guess it shld be acceptable to assume her to be roughly the same age as Luke. Perhaps a bit older as SoloFalcon suggested.

Well if Mara was the emperor hand and said in Tharwn Trilogy, did she find the rest of the emperors hand?
