ST Will TFA and the rest of the ST refer any other past battles besides the battle of Jakku?

    I wonder if TFA and the rest of the ST will reference any past conflicts or any major wars between the New Republic/Resistance and the Imperial Remnant/First Order besides the Battle of Jakku much like the Clone Wars was referenced in the OT?

    It would be awesome if Luke,Han and Leia reference any past conflicts in the 30-year span between ROTJ and TFA to Rey,Finn and Poe Dameron. And those conflicts/space battles are shown in future EU novels(the Aftermath trilogy and beyond),comics or a possible interquel film trilogy with a younger OT3 set between ROTJ & TFA to come out sometime around 2027 perhaps??

    Surely the Battle of Jakku can't be the only major battle between the First Order/Empire and the New Republic/Resistance. There might have been a great number of major space battles and land battles across the galaxy in that 30-year span. Maybe we'll learn about some more past conflicts throughout TFA and Episodes VIII and IX.

    Who knows? But it seems the Battle of Jakku, and the remnants of its aftermath, are the genesis for the colony and culture that has arisen on that dustbowl of a planet.

    It will mention things between ROTJ and TFA which will be covered in the NEU and I will read those books and comics.

    I wonder if Rey or Finn will ask Luke,Han or Leia: "You fought in the Battle of Jakku?" or "you fought in the Imperial Remnant Wars" or "You fought in the Unknown Regions Wars" much like Luke asked Obi-Wan "You fought in the Clone Wars"?

    I would imagine that, considering how battles play a part in the state of the GFFA as we reenter it in TFA, that commentary on them would be in the opening crawl.

    I hope not. jakku wreckage is cooler when it's like 'woah remnant of a foregone era but what's even more mindblowing is this was just one out of hundreds of battles' than it is when it's played up to be the defining post rotj event especially with rey being from there and all.

    It doesn't need to but if it refs a war it will likely be the GCW.

    Since Kylo is so obsessed with Vader I can see the Battle of Endor being a point of interest with him. I think it might be mentioned in TFA. Or at some point in the ST at the very least.

    "That bounty hunter we ran into on Ord Mantell"

    "That maneuver at the Battle of Tanaab"

    "The border dispute on Ancion"

    Reference to things unknown and unseen is a staple of the GFFA, so yes we will get similar references in the ST

    Vader wasn't present in the Battle of Endor though. He was during Hoth, however.

    Vader was there. The Battle of Endor consists of both a land and space battle. Vader was very much present at the space battle. Or did you miss that giant Death Star under construction? You know, where the final conflict between the Jedi and Sith took place.

    I just keep associating Battle of Endor with Ewoks and the planet itself. Plus, ROTJ is my least favorite SW film, and I've only seen it a handful of times.
