Mara Jade (Echoes)

ASK FANTASY FLIGHT 

Q: How does units like Mara Jade (Echoes) interact with Echoes of the Force?

A: A unit that is already committed to the Force may receive a “considered committed” effect on top (like Mara Jade's Lightsaber), at which point there is a redundancy. Committing Mara Jade (Echoes) with a Force card, and then giving her the lightsaber, is fine, although there is nothing that automatically removes the Force card at this time. An effect like Echoes of the Force, however, can be used to remove the card itself. She would still be considered committed because of the lightsaber. Note that if she has the lightsaber first, and therefore is already "considered committed", she could not be committed a second time via a Force card.
