My worry is that the Rise of Skywalker basically ripped off the whole Dark Empire comic, and they'll be too tempted to do the whole Luke joins the Empire thing and the Empire creates more and more ludicrous superweapons.
Reading the new EU books of what happened are interesting because for the most part Luke doesn't have a big involvement in the Aftermath series or some of the other ones.
The ideas that need to be built on, for me
That the Republic after winning the war throws away the peace.
That the Empire basically disintegrates and we see what we saw at the end of Aftermath which is the most hardcore best officers left in the Empire plus the abducted children flee to unknown space to found the First Order
(BTW they did explain that they're called the first order because Grand Admiral Sloane on arriving made the first order that this time they'll build the Empire the right way.)
That the First Order raised funds by subverting the Underworld
The Republic fails to see the threat of the first order and decide to become a pacifist government and fail to stop the First Order in its tracks, meanwhile Leia gets discredited 10 ways from sunset and leaves the Republic to create the Resistance which is secretly supported by members of the Republic.
The biggest issue though is that the First Order really doesn't begin to really rise for about 20 years after the Fall of the Old Empire, so I would assume that any series right after would be based around the Imperial Civil War and the Republic fighting on multiple Fronts while Luke tries to build a Jedi Order.
