With the clone wars supplements and dawn closing off a good swath of time, I expect we will see the sequel era books post Episode IX. What other books do you envision or hope the lines will include? Here's my top five;

1. The Old Republic (I don't think I'm alone in wanting to see this detailed in depth! The series of video games would give a good launching point to include places like Manaan, Taris and Korriban/Morriban.)

2. Sector Books (Id love to see the Corporate Sector, the Unknown and Wild Space areas detailed... maybe a Sector book can be included in each of these new timeline centred offerings, the Corporate would work well with Clone Wars era and Unknown would be good with sequel era, etc.)

3. Compendiums (While I appreciate the license doesn't allow PDFs etc. Having to traverse so many physical books to reference species stats and careers/specs for character creation mean the system is primed for a compendium with a few new offerings to entice collectors to purchase.)

4. Beastiary (This might well fit with the above but a creature catalog would be really incredible for GMs, especially if that beastiary included a new subset of rules for taming beasts and a trio of universal specs around using creatures to augment the offerings we have slightly dabbled in with Pathfinder/Hermit and Beast Rider.

5. Adventure Paths (Id love to see a Pathfinder-esq campaign arc for Star Wars through a published series of adventures with an overarching theme. Imagine something like the Old Republic featuring a series of KOTOR style missions with an ultimate goal.)

I would like a true second edition to clean up all of the stuff that's really shown warts since 2014. Redo species with better consistency (e.g., there's a pretty standard mechanic for night vision, so use it for all of the species that are supposed to have night vision) Everything from reworking certain talents to balancing the specializations and gear. Rewriting vehicle combat, the purchasing/Rarity system, and more. Streamline the crafting systems and do the same for Attachments/Mods. Decide if the game is going to feature Legends history or exclusively the new Canon and get it all in line. Really, there's so much that could use a rework.

Fall of the Empire sourcebook for post-RotJ era.

More sector books would be ace - for all three lines, as well as the "universal" line.

Theme/genre books similar to sector books, following types of games, plots and suchness.

More published adventures along the same lines as they've done so far - perhaps with some tie-in suggestions between adventures, perhaps a long campaign over several books.

An errata compendium sort of thing, with updates and redone things for consistency would be ace, but unnecessary as far as I'm concerned.

A Height of the Republic sourcebook that maybe covers Phantom menace up to attack of the clones, or a little bit before Phantom menace. Wouldn't be against an old Republic sourcebook either.

And Miraluka Race stats. At this point, that's kind of the only big Race stats I want as everything else I want is basically covered. I mean I won't turn down Kaleesh or Selkaath stats but so far I'm pretty good.

A Mandalore book, after they do their season of the Mandolrian on Disney+

Rise of the Separatists already covers this period.

I really would like to see a Career Compendium for each line that pulls together all six specs for each of the six careers, plus SigAbs, into one volume. I'm starting a new campaign soon and telling my players how they have to cross reference 7 different volumes for each game line just to see all the career options is disheartening

If that is all you need, people have already made free pdfs that do this and you can print them out if you like. They don't change anything, so it's official material even if it's not in the official font. Would you really want to pay for it again just to have it that way?

While I love reading novels and such in electronic form, I've always been very partial to hardcopy RPG books.

The only way I can see FFG doing what you like is if they can charge you the same for that one book as for the seven that came before. This company has a Cylon-esque plan to make you buy everything even if you only buy a certain book for one specialization, species, Force power, or piece of gear. For example, they aimed to boost sales of Friends Like These (an adventure) by bundling the Mandalorian Human into it.

I think a Career Compendium would be fine as a standalone purchase, from an FFG POV because it wouldn't have all the other stuff that the splat books had. No gear, or species, or adventure hooks or anything. Just the 6 careers, 36 spec trees, 12 SigAbs, and all the full text of all the talents.

The career compendium would be a chance to unify and balance the trees, as some of the older ones are showing their age. This would give them the chance to charge again for the same content (if they are all about the money, although I don't think that is necessarily true... likely they just realize that some books aren't as inherently 'cool' and boost their sales by adding in content people crave).

I'd be a bit more iffy on re-balancing things in a compendium. Fixing errors and incorporating known errata would be a good thing, but actually redoing the content wouldn't feel super great to me

It does? I thought it covered the early outbreak of the clone wars. But, I don't have the book so it's entirely possible I am wrong about that.

It does, but that doesn't mean the book won't touch upon the events leading up to AotC and the outbreak of the Clone Wars.

Events of TPM might get a very broad review, as elements of that plot do lead into the Clone Wars (namely Palps getting elected Chancellor). But given the amount of material being covered already, they probably won't go into all that much detail about pre-war Republic.

Maybe a way to sell a career compendium is selling something similar to the Monstrous Compendium from AD&D 2nd. To quote "(..)perforated pages, meant to be separated and placed in binders that were also sold as part of the Compendium packages."

That way you could have a big binder including all the talents, and buy career packs to add in your binder.

Are you interested only in EotE? Then only buy those careers.

Are you interested in the Universal spec? Buy those too.

Ideally, they would sell them cheap since (in many cases) you are buying the product twice.

Edit: Also, it's easy to make a copy for your players.
