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

If she's going to be Luke's wife again, it would require retconning with time travel. But I'd be happy to see her even without that part.
