The filmmakers don’t care about the additional material, nor should they.

Tell me, how badly would the main plot of TFA been affected if they’d established that the conflict with the First Order had started before the film?

Isn’t the whole point of the Resistance that the New Republic won’t go to outright war? If anything, TFA didn’t take that far enough. Honestly that whole situation was a favor to expanded material writers, who now have the chance to write more interesting stories than just another civil war. I love the whole cold war angle.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Pretty excited for a new series.

So it’s not gonna be the story of Old Ahsoka looking for Ezra along with Sabrine (which was the only interesting thing raised by the very weak seasons 3&4 of Rebels) ? Oh… Too bad, I thought the post-RotJ era was more interesting to explore than the direct pre-TFA era. Because who’s resisting who in the new tvseries ? The rebooted Rebellion against the rebooted Empire, right ? I would have loved to explore the post-Empire resistance against the New Republic, to be on the “bad” side for once… I’ll watch it anyway, hoping it will be good (and better than Rebels).

But how important was the Resistance to the plot? What difference would it have made if Leia was just in charge of the Republic Navy or at least that base/branch of it? Would that not have made more sense, after the majority of the fleet is destroyed and it’s just her band, to then label themselves the Resistance?

Nothing about the main plot, the introduction of Rey, the defection of Finn, the surprise superweapon. None of that would have been adversely affected had this film been set after this new Galactic Civil War had already begun. Same as Star Wars starts with the war already in progress.

Instead we have what we have, a 30 year period where nothing happens and then more nothing until after two whole films at least.

So… we will finally get the much needed backstory for TFA? Good, count me in. And knowing Filloni is in charge, it’s going to be good.

Lol pass.

Yeah, I hope it’s not too much of a kids show. That’s what really bugged me in Rebels.

I think the extent of the First Order’s power only really makes sense if the New Republic is ineffectual.

If anything, you should be blaming the expanded material writers for this perceived issue. Nothing in TFA states that the Resistance hasn’t already been fighting the First Order.

I personally think it’s a lot more interesting situation for expanded material than just Galactic Civil War v2.

Define “nothing.”

I can’t wait for Filoni to shove Ahsoka and Ezra and Rex in this.

It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

Rex wouldn’t be alive, clones have accelerated aging.

Its one of Filoni’s pet characters- they will survive when all logic says otherwise.

Yeah that’s why the ST is so boring by the way 😃

You certainly have a way of missing the point.

Not a fan of Filoni’s shows?

I think they are ok. I do fucking hate Ezra though and his actions in the series finale angered me as a big fan of Thrawn.

Given the ending of Rebels and the timeframe involved, I doubt this’ll happen. You can bet that Filoni’s going to tell us the story of the Filoni-faves post-ROTJ, so it would be pretty strange to tell us what happens to them way later first.

I’m happy it won’t be more ugly CGI.

Yeah, the final 3 seasons of TCW looked good but that’s about it.
