Star Wars: Uprising Announce Trailer

^ Trailer for game set between ROTJ and TFA. Probably raises as many questions as it answers about the field of play going into TFA.

This trailer shows the Death Star II blowing up with the ring from the Special Editions.

The SE is still the official canon and all those celebrations shown after the Empire was defeated at Endor that were inserted into RotJ somehow still aren't representative of what actually took place since we're getting sequels set 30+ years later.

Most franchises has this problem nowadays, contradicting story-elements due to different writers with different preferences. This is what happens when you hire fans to write the content. Hopefully Abrams and Kasdan will be doing their own thing, that is unless Disney pushes some content into the films. However it seems that so far Abrams have been mostly been allowed to do his own thing, so I don't think that this new game, or the new TV series, or any other Disney made/endorsed EU will have any impact on TFA.
