Exclusive: @Jon_Favreau confirms that his live action #StarWars series takes place 7 years after Battle of Endor, between Return Of The Jedi and The Force Awakens . Will feature all new characters, using cutting edge tech a la THE JUNGLE BOOK.

With all that tagging, I'd thought you'd at least include the source

@Commander Kaine, apologies sending this from a plane.

Now that's a time period I'm really interested.

Baby Ben Solo!

7 years after Endor was around the time of Admiral Daala and Kip Duran goofing off with the Suncrusher in the EU, iirc

And that's why the Mouse shall be praised.

I keep hoping it’s based off the xwing series. All new characters except wedge but they can get a wedge. Love to see rogue and especially wraith squadrons. Was hoping rogue one team was going to be put together like the wraiths were.

So after Inferno Squad but before Resurrection.

Interesting. Hopefully it covers the rise of the First Order and explains why one man, General Hux, managed to gain such an army.

Sounds interesting. I wish it had starting 1 day after the Battle of Endor though.

Have you read the Aftermath trilogy and Phasma? They cover that part pretty well.

I should also mention that I’m very excited for this series!

Between this and the animated Poe Dameron cartoon, I'm happy to say I'm finally excited about Star Wars shows!

What? You don't want to see a 100 hull/100 shield ship with a single laser cannon. But missiles get to roll 100 red dice per attack? I can't see how that would be broken

Just a note.. Poe is not the main character in Star Wars Resistance.

So the intention with this seems to tell all the backstory they didn't bother with for TFA. They know they can't fix that pile of dren right?

When does the Aftermath series take place? Would this show be all after that trilogy?

I didn’t love the suncrusher, but otherwise I did really like those novels.

The aftermath trilogy starts at about 4 ABY (after vattle of yavin) ends at about 5 ABY if I recall

Sounds like a post-nerf Suncrusher to me. Only 200 hp?

As long as they don’t drop F-bombs like Star Trek Discovery....

Because turning a planet into another Death Star that blows up whole solar systems was such an improvement.

Yep. The Jedi Academy books were great.

At the very least, the Sun Crusher was a new take on the superweapon idea. Small, but still powerful. The invisible armor was a bit much though.

I tried reading Phasma, I was on holiday and I honestly cannot remember anything about it besides it conjuring images of the cave and island that Tom Hanks lived on in Castaway and everyone being parkour professionals.

Which goes more in the way making storm troopers look even worse, if such a thing is even possible.

Also, I remember a Space Marine chapter living on a planet just like Phasma's and pretty much doing the exact same thing aka rock jumping and hurling spears.

In other words, the books end roughly 1 year after Endor. So the show will take place approx. 6 years after Aftermath

Eh, I liked it a lot. I thought it was a cool twist on the Star Wars setting I hadn’t seen done before (post apocalyptic/visitors from the stars scenario). No worries if it isn’t your thing, just letting you know there’s some Hux backstory in there you might otherwise miss

I think it was that I expected more from Phasma . . or for her to not be called Phasma and that was a nickname given to her for some epic reason. Potentially I let myself down with my own expectations.

Admiral Daala

That would be an interesting character to bring back to Canon again.

If only to Canonize that side note that Grand Moff Tarkin was a passionate lover.

Yes, this was mentioned in the novels Jedi Search and Death Star .
