Wouldn't that just be a despair?

First, since Disney acquired Lucasfilms and all things star wars, all the old content we considered cannon is no longer cannon. It is considered legends. So if you wish to use legends content in the ABY (After the battle of Yavin) You will need to ignore a large portion of legends/old cannon. How ever there has not been any thing significant yet to counter any BBY cannon. Technically still considered legends content, but easily usable. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_canon )

If you want to run a game based on new cannon the current lack of content is great to start your own story. I'll give some facts about new cannon to help you shape a campaign. (A lot of this depends how close you want your campaign events to happen to ep7)

• Jedi are not a forgotten culture. Instead facts about them are hazy and differ from person to person.
• The empire fled and was reborn as the new order.
• The republic disbanded their fleet due to the Disarmament act. Now system security is up to each systems leading powers to defend. (in my game the party starts in a region of space that a group of pirates had begun taking control of systems.

In my campaign the party is playing some time between ep 6 and 7. There is no empire and the republic has pulled support for any form of army. The new order is known but has not drawn to much attention from the gerneral galactic population. I chose to make them mostly ignorant of the Jedi and Sith, and plan on giving them small glimpses of each through relics. My hopes are that in late game they may chose to either start their own academy or even a Sith or Dark Jedi temple. This will give me a good way to continue the campaign with new characters and have their old characters continue on as Masters if their new ones. This, I hope, will be a great tool for motivating plot. A player will be more likely to seek vengeance if an NPC kills his old character in front of his new one.


So to answer your question, Yes you have everything. The core rule book was written with new cannon in mind. After all Leland Chee (Keeper of the holocron) was involved in it.

You'll have to make some leaps of faith on the state of the galaxy, the balance of power, and who is where and why.

TFA-era gaming, in my mind at least, is just Raiders of the Lost Ark but replace airplane trips with hyperspace, Nazis with the First Order, and all religious artifacts with Jedi/Sith artifacts.

Anything the is First Appearance here is up for grabs for new stats, or as I call them "new weapon/ship names"

From a quick skim there are some useful bits worth putting into form, like reference to a game (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dengue_sisters), examples of hurry rigging (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rey%27s_speeder), and awesome space craft designs (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Eravana, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Quadrijet_transfer_spacetug).

Most of the fluff associated would be in http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Force_Awakens:_The_Visual_Dictionary

Well; it's out. Episode 69 folks, where we chat with Christopher West and FFG freelancer Sterling Hershey to talk about gaming in the Force Awakens era (or any time after RotJ, if you want to stick with the new core canon storyline).
