I expect that it'll draw from elements of the Star Wars comics published by Dark Horse, which greatly expands the universe and deals with a lot of the stuff mentioned in the open letter. Plenty of cool shit happens in cities in those comics, but not in the Senate.

I could say that I have watched the Clone Wars cartoons and cartoon movie and read all those comics because my nephew loves that shit and it's fun to talk to him about (which is true), but instead I will say that I am essentially unemployed and love Star Wars.

As they will undoubtedly be big productions, I suspect though that whatever movies come out will not be aimed directly at the existing fanbase, but at drawing the most people into the theater, which is a shame.
