Star Wars 7 coming in 2015
GarandMarine:
The EU basically suggested that a lot of the Empire splintered, a good chunk of the fleet wasn't lost at Endor, but a good chunk of first rate captains were. (You don't get to be in Vader and the Emperor's direct command unless you rock, you die pretty quickly otherwise). So the thought that a remnant of the Empire, a galaxy spanning organization doesn't tumble over night when you kill the Emperor isn't surprising to me.
There might even be a sith running around reviving the Sith on a big scale. Which would be awesome.
Neko_Ali:
I expect that the Empire splintered and the Rebels would have to keep fighting. I mean, people are not just going to turn over power if they've been lording it over the locals for years. But the suggestion is that the back of the Empire was broken at the Battle of Endor. Now some decades later, X-wings are still beat up junkers, while Stormtroopers have new, even shinier and slicker armor suggests to me that nothing really has changed in the decades since Endor.
It's all supposition of course. And we really can't take anything from the EU anymore, since it was officially dumped into the bin.
LeeC:
X-wing!? Junker!?
GarandMarine:
We've already seen the slick new X-wings though...
Lupercal:
I suppose one of the great things about Star Wars is that there is always more to it than one would think. I mean, all of the Jedi were supposedly killed, but that didn't happen. I always figured the celebration on Endor was similar to that of the jubilation/ceremony after destroying the first Death Star - yeah, we majorly crippled the enemy but its by no means and out-and-out defeat.
I know we can't take EU stories for 'truth' in the SW canon any more, but some of their basic details will be the same - Luke as a mentor, the New Republic growing but fighting a familiar enemy, etc.
I like the look of these new helmets. Makes me think of Dark Forces era Star Wars, which was one of the more exciting parallel time frames of the OT.
