It seems, from comments here and elsewhere, a lot of people are forgetting that according to the statement made last year no EU works prior to April 2014 are considered canon. Therefore, any offspring any of the main characters had will be completely new. Much as I would have loved to see a Thrawn movie trilogy or an X-wing focused series, etc, I doubt Abrams will flick off Disney and include post-ROTJ EU references.

It's true it's all non-canon, but I'm pretty sure some of it will eventually find it's way back into the new canon in one shape or another. For example I'm pretty sure Boba Fett will turn out to have survived Sarlacc in the new canon too, he's just too popular (which means profitable) character to let him bite the dust.

Why everybody wants to base new Star Wars movies to Thrawn trilogy so badly? Why rehash story that has been released years ago instead of making something new?

I will be really pissed off if it turns out they did not beat the Empire and establish a New Republic. That would make me just feel robbed of the sense of triumph from the end of Return of the Jedi. While I consider it the weakest film of the original trilogy, I still remember how happy I was as kid when the good guys finally won.

Duh. I'm not quite that stupid :) But for the time being I'm assuming it's some remnant that resurfaces after a long abscence or being pushed back to the fringes of the galaxy, or some new group using old imagery for ideological reasons (noe-imperials if you will), or something else of that ilk. I just don't want the story to go "and after the Emperor's death and all that celebration nothing really changed and they kept fighting this war for the next 30 years".

Glad to see I´m not the only one :P
tinyE: Well I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess with the Tie Fighters and all the Storm Troopers in the trailer that the Empire is not totally defeated.

I don´t think they´re a new group, probably those who really believed in the empire´s ideals, not the stormtroopers that just want to work somewhere and are brainwashed into imperialism :P
Even if the head has been chopped, they must deal with the loyal remnants.

Wooh a hot chick with some bad hand joints! :)
It wouldn't be Star Wars if the heroes aren't underdogs so Yay from me for there still being a Empire to fight.
