So I was on the whole kind of disappointed with the ST after TLJ, and I realized its mostly because the ST is just a rebootquel, not the continuation I wanted. So I’m going to check out the Thrawn Trilogy and see how I like it compared to the ST.

Just keep in mind (if you didn’t already know) that the Thrawn trilogy takes place only five years after ROTJ, so there’s still Imperials, etc. Though at this point they’re the underdogs, and the Rebellion has became the New Republic. All the new factions start showing up in the later novels.


I’m really curious to see what the new EU novels will do in the future to cover the gap in between ROTJ and TFA. Either very little will happen, or a lot will happen until everything returns back to “empire” vs “rebels.”

One of these days they’ll make a trilogy of novels about Snoke and how he acquired all his money and finally fanboys will stop complaining…

…well, at least the part about making novels about Snoke is plausible.

Well that goes without saying (the Snoke novel part, that is). However, I was more referring to the politics of the SW galaxy. I figure at some point the new EU have to invent some new factions and some lesser conflicts/wars that doesn’t follow the OT formula. I find it hard to believe that they can just do “rebels” vs “empire” for the whole thirty year time span. Maybe for now, but at some point they really do have to think up something else.
