Not only that, Favreau also confirmed that his series will feature all-new characters, putting to rest those theories that the series would chronicle the adventures of a character fans already knew. With the fall of the Empire, the rise of the Black Order and the continuing struggles of the Rebellion, the time between Episodes VI and VII is one rife with possibilities.
