These stories will do a great deal in the way of satisfying Prequel fans by giving our Clone War era characters some much needed love while also giving us some much needed supplemental material for our sequel characters. The most notable name in the list is Snoke’s seeing as we know very very little about him and this may be the beginning of learning of his origins. Many fans have pointed out that there is one major character who was snubbed by the new line of comics; one Sheev Palpatine. All in all these new stories seem very promising with great potential for new stories.
