Well That's Depressing...

Idly browsing Wookipedia (mainly looking again to see if anyone's introduced a Jawa Jedi to the Star Wars EU since I last looked... nope), I find that apparently Callista from Children of the Jedi has reappeared... sort of.

 

"At some point on Ming's journey, she ventured into the Maw and discovered a dangerous planet. There, Ming encountered the dark side entity known as Abeloth, who stole her life energy and absorbed her, resulting in her death"

So, not just killed, but retroactively killed off-screen, apparently decades before the events of the novel in which she's mentioned.

Dammit, I kind of liked that there seemed to be a mutual agreement among authors in the SW EU to never even mention Callista again - it meant there was at least one character I liked that I knew wouldn't be affected by the increasingly idiotic developments of the novels.

(And meanwhile Admiral Daala's still running around, despite the fact that I've never met anyone who likes the character...)
