See, I don’t think she’d’ve had missions (sanctioned ones, at least) to fly after mustering out. And I also feel like bloodburn was introduced for a reason, although that might be me expecting more continuity than SW will give. But I feel like either Shara had to have died in an accident or illness or… something, but that it had to have been as a civilian.
That’s where my shaky knowledge of the tie-in properties comes out– I have only skimmed portions of the novels/comics etc., I just don’t have the patience or discretionary income to hunt them down. I read the Wookieepedia entry on bloodburn, probably because you linked to it, and decided it sounded like a Plot Device and I wasn’t going to invest myself in it. (There’s nothing wrong with other people doing so! I just am too shaky on it to want to get wrapped up in it.)
(You would think I’d read the Shattered Empire comics since I’ve written now like 75k of words based on them but that overstates my ability to commit to things quite a bit.) (I haven’t even downloaded them I’m the worst at fandom.) (I also haven’t ever rewatched any of the movies I’ve written fanfic about, so.)
No, I don’t think she’d be on official missions, but there are going to be all kinds of things that Someone Trusted might have to look into, and she’d keep herself on that list of Trusted Few Someones for shady/dangerous things, to Kes’s horror.
I have a feeling that the canon powers that be just didn’t specify because it’s assumed a mother must be dead, that’s just how Star Wars works, and also, if Shara wasn’t dead, there’d eventually have to be a reason for them not to hire a 50something Latina actress to be a fighter pilot, and we’re not allowed to have that. (As it is, I’m a little bummed they couldn’t get a nod to these characters in Rogue One! I get that they want to keep things simple but man, just one shot of a Latina pilot would’ve been amazing.)
Canon might eventually specify if they can make something good and manpain-y out of it. I just decided I couldn’t bear to try to write something like cancer; I wanted it quick, and far away, and devoid of context, stunning to little Poe, and bitter, bitter, bitter for Kes. (And giving Shara a force-ghost-like cameo in the conclusion of the Home out in the Wind series gives Kes a chance to lay that last niggling doubt in his mind to rest that maybe she did it on purpose! So, your bringing this up was extremely timely. He’s definitely going to admit that to Poe in the drunk-on-Yavin-IV chapter.)
