Star Wars 7 coming in 2015

I don't know.. I'm of two minds on it. Sure, it was set up in the original trilogy that the Empire was an oppressive regime and the Rebels were freedom fighters, and at least partly implied that they had the backing of at least some planetary governments. Star Wars Rebels does show that the Empire is not very popular among the populace and uses fear to keep the local systems in line. But with the Prequels and Clone Wars we saw that the old Republic was very fractured, corrupt and mired in bureaucracy, and that more than a few systems wanted nothing to do with the Senate's rule. The Senate came off more as the UN of space than a galactic governing body. Even drafting the Grand Army of the Republic was a huge thing in the face of the Separatist forces taking planets. The formation of the Galactic Empire was largely supported and praised as a good thing, which is exactly what Palatine wanted.
So it's pretty unlikely that the destruction of the second Death Star and deaths of the Emperor and Vader would have stopped the Empire. If there wasn't some succession plan in place, which is entirely likely, then either a new leader would have been elected/appointed by whoever had rank, or it would have split into various factions... Either way the Rebel Alliance would not have been any more popular to the Imperial Military, who probably would have continued to make the elimination of those terrorists job one. Thirty years would probably be enough to stabilize what remained of the Empire. But possibly not enough time for enough systems to have split off/escaped Imperial rule and formed a new Republic yet.
But as said, this is all pure speculation. We'll not know how it worked out until the end of the year.

Watching/listening to the fan reactions from the SW Celebration panel was also pretty cool. Wish I could've been there.

I'm not sure what to think of the new Stormtrooper outfits, they seem a bit goofy. Kinda like they've all got the :3 emoticon going on.
