Slowly, Disney has revealed what happens after Return of the Jedi through several novels and comic books known as “Journey To The Force Awakens” (there are currently more than 20 books and comics). In order not to have to read it all, here is a brief summary:

Empire did not end with the death of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, but it appears the battle for Moffs (seteara by the governor) to fight each other for power. Meanwhile, the Rebel Alliance to reform into New Republic under the leadership of Mon Mothma (one of the leaders of the Rebel Alliance, played by Caroline Blakiston in Episode VI). When Empire in chaos, the New Republic spread throughout the galaxy and freed many planets are still under the rule of the kingdom.

As a final attempt to attack the New Republic, Grand Moff Imperial Navy RandD carrying troops left to fight Jakku New Republic on the planet. The planet is an important target for the New Republic for their imperial weapons facilities. Planet Jakku the site of the massacre Empire as the New Republic was able to defeat them with superior tactics and air force were the same size.

One of the major discussion emerge from Episode VII poster featuring the new Death Star image. Although not confirmed, the picture is the possibility of Starkiller Base, a planet that is home to the First Order.

Star Wars fans will recognize the name as the name Starkiller prepared early George Lucas for Luke, before choosing Skywalker.

7. What about the whole story Expanded Universe?

Under Disney, all this never happened.

Expanded Universe (EU) began in 1991 with the release of bukul work of Timothy Zahn, Heir to the Empire, much like Episodoe VII, discusses the events after Return of the Jedi. At that time, George Lucas was no intention to make more Star Wars movies (though the prequel trilogy), so he let a lot of novels, comics, and video games to continue the story of the film. The stories became canon (the official story) and was officially regarded as part of the Star Wars universe. Until finally Disney bought Lucasfilm. In order to tell the story they want to convey, Disney Star Wars canon must remove and replace the entire EU as “Star Wars Legends” and remove it from the official story.

Officially, the only media which is considered as the canon is the sixth movie (going to be seven), two animated series, Clone Wars and the Rebels, novels and comics that have been released Disney-Lucasfilm
