Don't look for Saul in the near future.
According to Gilligan and Gould, how he gets there is less a question of specific steps and more one of establishing motivation. “I worried all through Season 1 that we weren’t getting to Saul Goodman fast enough,” Gilligan said, but added “now I’ve come around 180 degrees and I’m thinking ‘God, I don’t want to get to Saul too quick’, I love Jimmy McGill so much.” The key question, so Gilligan and Gould said, isn’t “how long does it take to turn Jimmy McGill into Saul Goodman,” but “what kind of problem does becoming Saul Goodman solve?”
To that end, the show has certain places it must reach in order to eventually meet in the middle with Breaking Bad, something Gilligan and Gould say they’ve loosely mapped out. In doing so, they’re taking pains to stay faithful to the parent show. Asked how much the creators feel beholden to established canon, Gilligan was firm. “We’re beholden to the fans, the fans who pay strict attention and we want to honor them for that, we want to reward them for that,” he said.
“We will make mistakes, no doubt about that, but we intend not to, we intend to make as small a number of mistakes as possible…. Instead of us saying ‘Yeeeah, we have a vague memory of this happening, but we like this thing better so we won’t abide by some offhanded comment or some bit of plot that we had back in Breaking Bad. We got something better, let’s just go with that and hope people squint their eyes at it.’ We wanna be as accurate as possible.”

The two things bringing most of the anticipation are 1) Jimmy becoming Saul and 2) Mike becoming Mike and establishing his working relationship with Saul.
I wonder how this show would feel if BB didn't set this up for us.
