    ITT we discuss all of the new material released that isn't the actual films and how they can possible impact the ST and specifically IX. Rebels is wrapping up soon and of course the first live action SW television series is on the horizon. We continue to be inundated with novels that explore the characters of the films and the events preceding them. And we have a new animated series that will likely premiere sometime after Rebels concludes.

    Personally since seeing TLJ I've been wondering if we might get a series that serves a similar function that TCW did. Set between TLJ and IX and depicting the war that has just begun. With Finn, Rey and Poe and all the others returning as the main focus.

    Anyway, we have two years until IX so a lot of time to discuss this stuff!

    I would actually love that kind of series. Especially if it leads to closure of Leia's story. Kind of how the clone wars and 2003 clone wars was moving towards/depicted the battle of coruscant.

    I could see them going down that route, but we won't get any sort of ST related show until after E9 is out. I just hope they give us a better show than Rebels has been.

    Well hopefully the novels are more tied into 9 than the books leading to 8 were. As good as Phasma was, it really did nothing for her character and none of the information was useful/tied into the movie. I think it felt more of an apology in advance for not making Phasma awesome in 8.

    I would like an animated series. Depends how long the time jump is but I don't think we would see that until after 9? Unless they started working on it this year.

    I believe it is time we know more about the ST period. The books and comics under Disney have been underwhelming. Why not release a Snoke novel like with Plagueis back in the day? How about a novel about Luke's Jedi? Something juicy

    Well, there IS the new animated series to be announced. Perhaps it could cover a post-ROTJ Luke (and then MH could be involved)?

    When it comes to speculating on future events, I don't think we want to look into any stories too much until the latter half of 2018. Remember Episode IX's script is still in pre-production right now, so its events are just as much a mystery to all these authors as they are to us.

    If the writers of the expanded canon are given relevant information to help them foreshadow the movies (and that's a big "if"), they probably won't get it for months.

    I can not wait for Rebels to come out. I doubt it will tie into the new movies at all though

    Right now, what I would like most is an animated series set between ROTJ and TFA. I want to see "my heroes" Luke, Han and Leia, as they were before Ben Solo went coocoo for cocoa puffs. Like what kind of crazy adventures did Luke and his students have? Who was Snoke and where did he come from, and why did Han and Leia let a guy like that near their son?

    Still one of the mysteries we may not get answered. How did Snoke get so close to Kylo. Maybe there will be back story in 9, but if not I want to read about it at least in a novel.

    This really makes you wonder. How did Snoke actually meet Kylo? When did Luke become aware of Snoke? So many questions

    What ancient lightsaber is this?

    "Spoiler alert: There are some major surprises, Star Wars-wise, in Secrets of the Empire. A potentially major piece of Star Wars lore is revealed — an ancient lightsaber that looks like none we’ve seen before. All Williams will say regarding the artifact: “Stay tuned.” And a legendary character makes an appearance, getting up close and personal. It’s a moment that will thrill anyone who has ever loved Star Wars. “There are so many layers in that moment,” Williams says, “that I think everything just came together so beautifully.”

    Hmmm. I know normally none of our speculation ever goes anywhere, but what if that's a new saber Rey can take in episode 9?
