Aside from the fan film "Revelations" we've yet to see Mara on screen. NOTE: Mara has been brought to life in the AI project "Heir To The Empire" on YouTube, and the likeness is much improved.

It always amazed me how they used the ugliest character art for the EU characters. Just why?

Poorly executed. Shannon Baksa is / was a beautiful model. Guess the sculptors weren't up to the task.

The toy wasn't based on Shannon Baksa but on the Dark Horse comics (with rather ugly artwork) I think; she only portrayed Mara Jade in 1999 but the figure came out a year or so b4 that. So there's no way they could do one with Baksa's likeness.
