If this was 15 or 20 years ago they could have rolled right into the OG Thrawn books as a sequel trilogy and brought back the whole original cast. Unless they do the unthinkable and decanonize 7-9 and recast the OT characters with middle aged actors and go from there but I don't have faith in them to pull that off.

Using Zahn's stuff is admitting they couldn't make anything better trilogy wise. George hated the EU and while Filoni plucked a few things from it, that mentality is going to rub off after working under him for so long. I don't see Filoni as a doer who is willing to make big decisions.

Filoni is bringing in a lot of stuff from the EU though. I mean fuck, he didn't even really change the story of how boba fett survived the sarlacc. I can't remember all of it, but I'm constantly seeing EU stuff show back up and I love it.

Still waiting on Mara Jade though.

that would require recasting Luke and I still don't think they have the balls to do it
