When did Mon Mothma die? I just remembered reading that the Mon mothma was named after "The late Mon Mothma" in Rebel Dream, I think, which made me go "huh? When did she die?" Hense this topic.

I was likewise unaware of her death. I haven't been reading the newer novels as much as I used to.

Just before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Mon Mothma died of natural causes.

I assume out of the sources listed, it is most likely referenced in Destiny's Way.

I remember reading something in refrence to her death mentioning how the mysterious illness, while not killing her, weakend her to the point where she died not long after. Yea, I know weird. Don't really remember where I read that...

well i suppose it's not really suprising she croaked it. in the x-wing books i think it was she left politics due to ill health. plus she wasn't a young lady no more by that time. looked atleast in her late 40's in ROTJ

According to the ROTS book she was around as a senator when Palpy took control. So about as old as good old Obi.

And she has to be older, since he dies in ANH. Damn, she must have been near her 70's. That way to damn old to be running a democracy (that's why Palpy was an Emperor...so much easier to rule a dictatorship).

Umm, Rob? Mon Mothma's in Return of the Jedi. If she died in ANH, then that would make her dead beofre she appeared in teh movies.

Yeah, I must have been smoking some mad crack there. I really, really dont know where I was going with that...when I look in the mirror, I see dumb people...

No wait a minute. I take that back. I said HE dies in ANH. Unless Mothma is a closet transvestite (a la Hoover), then HE refers to Obi-Wan dying in ANH. Ah, I feel better now. How dare you make me pity the fool of myself. I shall smite you with an internet glare

lol... that has to be one of the funniest double posts that I've ever read. I'm seriously cracking up over here! roflmao!

Hold n- how does that mean she's older? Isn't she younger?

I dunno...maybe by 5 years or something. She wasn't no spring chicken.

That's spring nerf After all, this is Star Wars- when did chickens ever come into play in Star Wars (That would be funny though.

"Colonel Sanders, prepare to assault the planet!"

"Backawk!")

 

And I think she was 40 years old in ROTJ, which puts her at... really frickin' old by NJO books.

The actress who played young Mothma in Ep III is 28 years old, that plus another 20 years makes her in her late 40s by ROTJ, add another 25 years and she was in her 70s when she died. Rather young if you ask me.

Where was Mon in Episode three? I don't remember seeing her.... or Garm Bel Iblis who was supposed to be in it... I swear, tha tmovie was made based soly on reading the Thrawn trilogy....

An entire scene with the senators was cut from Episode 3

I'm sure it will make it to the DVD though

You can see Mon Mothma's back during one of the Senate scene, the scene with the begin of the Rebel Alliance will appear in the Episode III DVD.

You mean to tell me that they can make a CGI Tarkin, but not Mon Mothma? That's sad....

CGI Tarkin? Where was there a CGI version of him, I only remember the actor playing him in the final scene...

I thought that it was someone who looked something like Tarkin that had his face digitally altered to look like an ewok... only tall... and without the hiar... and who looked like Grand Moff Tarkin...

I think that was a real actor

Oh... whoops.

NEW EVIDENCE:

 

I happened to be flipping through my "Guide to the Star Wars Universe" book (yea, im that geeky) and I came across something labeled

'nano-destroyer'. It reads, and I quote,

 

"These artifically created viruses dismantle an infected person one cell at a time. Nano-destroyers were the basis of the disease infecting Mon Mothma seven yeras after the Battle of Endor."

 

Under Mon Mothma, the book says about her death only that she succumbed to a terrible wasting disease, and that her life was saved by the Jedi healer, Cilghal.

 

So... this doesnt really solve anything, just brings up new questions about how and why Mon Mothma...-- ah, screw it, I'm going to bed. 'Night.
