So the Thrawn trilogy is the way to go? Do you guys think it will bridge the gap between episode 7 and the new movies?

You mean between episode 6 and the new movies? Impossible to tell because Lucas said that they do not have to follow the books. Besides, the Thrawn Trilogy took place just a few years after Return of the Jedi while episode 7 will be 30 years after episode 6. It covers the fight against a remaining admiral of the empire, Admiral Thrawn, who is Sherlock Holmes/Tony Stark level brilliant. It is a major step toward the ultimate surrender of the remnants of the empire, but I would not be surprised if none of that is addressed in the next movie. As far as a movie-goer only is likely concerned, the empire fell completely when the emperor died in episode 6.

No. Disney has stated that anything from the EU is no longer canon.


Disney does not care about fans, only dollars.

It won't bridge the gap. They came out a while back saying that none of the extended universe was canon anymore.

Sucks. Big screen missed out on one of my favorite characters, Mara Jade.
