In the middle of a destroyed village of Nalool, MonMothma explains that she wants to renounce to the special rights that she has in time of war. She will propose to convert the army to a 90% reduced peacemaker force. This despite the fact that the empire is not yet completely defeated.
Interesting quote : "we do not fight the Empire in order to become an other Empire" Mon Mothma
This is explaining why, years after, the republic is weak against the New Order

There are a lot of good and bad effects of the fall of the empire:
Orphans and young people supposed to enter the emperial academy have no new alternatives and are let alone.
Several salvaged people are now free but without a defined future.
Crime syndicates are taken the lead of planets that are now in chaos after fall of the empire.
Food , water ... supplies are down.
All the items will have to be addressed and solved by the rebuild senate if they want to gain trust from systems. The task is huge.

Dengar. The BobaFet friend with the band around the head is old but still alive (we saw him first time in clone wars tv serie and then in Episode V). He fears that now neither the Empire nor the rebels will need them anymore and he beleives they will turn against the bounty hunters. He wants to create an organization with others hunters in order to be stronger and face this new future. A guy called Mercurial Swift does not share the idea....

2 men and a women that call themselves the Acolytes of the Beyond are buying from a Kubaz a red light saber that his supposed to be the one of Dark Vader. They announce though that they want to destroy it.
I do not understand because first of all the light saber should have been destroyed in the DeathStar2 disaster. So who took the time to get it back from the reactor before the explosion?? moreover it is no link to EP7 that shows an other light saber: the one of Anakin lost by Luke on Cloud city.
Finally, Is this some kind of introduction of some people that could put some base for the Knights of Ren?. Please comment to help me. Who are these people ? What are they bringing to the story ?

A young boy called Jak, whose father was killed by Empire on Coruscant Monument Plaza during the festivity after the Emperor Death, is dealing with Crime syndicate in order to organize an attack against the Emperial forces still present in the city. Will this boy be a key character in the future ?

We learn more about the Tatooine planet after the death of the Crime Boss Jabba the Hutt. Several new cirminal organizations are trying to take the control of the planet. A "sherrif" called Cobb Vanth is trying to keep situation under control.
The action takes place inside a Jawa vehicle. There Vanth meets Adwin Charu (a non local criminal) and they contend the aquisition from the Jawa of a old and damaged Mandalorian Armor.
In the vehicle there are several elements that are re-calling the Sarlac disastor and of course we tend to think that the armor is the one of Bobba Fet! How can this be ? did it go out of the Sarlac ? Is Bobba Fet really escaped the beast as wished by fans? Anyway, now Vanth has the armor now.

Jakku is introduced has a one of the most in-hospital planet of the Galaxy. Corwin Ballast arrived there in order to espcape war that destroyed his family. He is sure that war will never arrive here..
Frankly speaking this is not a lot of information, but probably new pieces of the puzzle will come with the tome 2 of the Aftermath trilogy : Life Debt
