Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Sun Crusher, the moral descent of Jacen Solo, the spacefaring Dirty Dozen known as Wraith Squadron, the clones of Emperor Palpatine, Mara Jade: All these and more will almost certainly not appear in the upcoming "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, or the spinoff series "Star Wars Rebels," or indeed any future iteration of "Star Wars"-related content.
