There was another book the name escapes me that released at the same time as aftermath that at least the ending of the book is post EP6 and gives some more insight onto the chaos of what happened after the victory at endor for the rebels.So far Aftermath is the only post EP6 novel. What you 'should read' is very subjective. There's probably nothing in any current novel that will be important in EP7. But there are 2 novels set post EP4 where at least some of the characters will still be alive in EP7. "Heir to the Jedi" and "Battlefront". Battlefront doesn't ship until Nov 3rd.
Plus, if you are watching the Rebels series, "A New Dawn" could be considered important.
We discussed it on the first page, but not in very much detail:I swear I thought I read about this here already, but I can't find it. Does anyone else think that's thrawn at the end of aftermath? Do we have anything from disney confirming or denying that? If it's not, it seems like a thrawn-inspired character and would be disney purposely shitting all over the EU for no reason.
Not going to put it in spoilers, because it's not really central to the book. In fact, if I had to guess, I'd say it was an afterthought.
I haven't read any yet but I heard there was a possible hint to one of the best eu characters at the end of aftermath...
Thrawn
I thought the same thing Kovaks, but apparently it is the Andy Serkis character from Episode VII. I may be wrong, but if it really were that character then
why not hint about his red eyes when they described his gaze at the very end? Even a throwaway line about blue skin would have sufficed.
You know what I learned just now? The search function in firefox will not search inside of unexpanded spoiler tags. That's why i couldn't find it.We discussed it on the first page, but not in very much detail:
