I was talking to a friend the other day, and he was telling me about the Dark Empire Trilogy.

It sounds very interesting to me, but it also sounded like the most likely direction they would go in for the new films. It would follow up on most of the characters that casual fans (such as myself) know, but would also sort of gently expose them to the expanded universe/story, and allow for future endeavors to go further into the universe/story without the familiar characters from the past.

Can anybody tell me more about this trilogy? I've started reading about it on Wiki a bit ago. I'm curious to see what others think of the liklihood that it will be next in line, especially now that they have announced Ford will be back as Han.
