We learned a little about Aftermath, Del Rey’s key piece in the Journey to The Force Awakens, a few weeks ago: Namely, that Twitter-winning author Chuck Wendig is writing it, and that it involves “a fan favorite from the films” and “other familiar faces.” And Club Jade has learned who a few of those faces are.
So. Spoilers. Under the cut.
EXCLUSIVELY.
Okay, so the main character isn’t exactly a big shock, as everyone pretty much guessed it from the cover featuring an exploding Death Star II and an X-wing: It’s Wedge Antilles.
The real surprise is who he ends up meets up with: A grown up, a little bit fed up, been-rebelling-too-long Ahsoka Tano of The Clone Wars and Rebels.
Now, I’m not saying they meet, fall in love (get it, girl) and retire from all that draining rebelling to move to Dantooine and start up a pony farm Jedi Academy. Or am I?
You’ll just have to wait and see.
(Okay, they totally do.)
(Maybe.)
(Totally.)
UPDATE: CONFIRMED!
Yub nub @clubjade How did you get those spoilers already? This is what we get for hiring Gamorrean's as security guards. @DelReyStarWars

What day is it again?
I want smooches. Big, messy smooches!
OMG I can’t wait for this to happen! Wedge/Ashoka >>> Wedge/Qwi!
“Wedge/Ashoka >>> Wedge/Qwi!” win!
So happy for more Ahsoka!
Oh right, I got carried away. Still, one can still hope.
#Asodge
I want a nickel every time someone uses that.
Oh wait I guess that should be Ahsodge. I’ll stop commenting now.
Wahsoka.
Still preferable to Wackbar.
Their love is PURE, damn it!
WACKBAR FOREVER.
I am starting to feel a little uncomfortable.
May I say that I love how shocked and somewhat disgusted Ackbar looks in this picture. She’s totally cool with the idea but he apparently has some reservations… #UnrequitedLove

I can’t wrap my head around this at all. In my mind Luke is still the “sole” Jedi post ROTJ…..so I was expecting big deathsfor all Rebels characters. Sigh. But I’ll reserve judgment until after I read.
AAAAAAANNNNNDDDDD I forgot what day it is. It’s to early for this
Totally fell for this….
So that’s how we get Rogue One 25 years after the OT…
Wedahs Forever!
Damn. There goes my Wedge/Sabine theory. :p
My little fan girl heart is going to explode!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WEDGE IS MIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!
A+ username.
You tramp Amanda!
I’m just going to pop some popcorn and enjoy this…
EPIC LOVE
Noooo! The reboot was supposed to give us the Wedge/Qwi Xux shipping we missed out on. Ashoka’s too old for him. *pouts*
THEIR LOVE IS PURE AND TRUE
AND ALSO I HEARD SHE WAS FROZEN IN CARBONITE FOR LIKE 20 YEARS
