She now served her new boss, Talon Karrde, a galaxy smuggler and also plays an important role during this time. Even if she was prepared to fulfill her duties to Palpatine and to forever prevent the voice from bothering her, certain events pushed Mara to keep Luke alive and keep him safe and out of danger. They were able to escape such a dilemma perfectly. Regardless of Mara’s threats, Skywalker discovered about the curse and promised her to help her be free from it.
