Nope. BtA is all I've got of the new EU (Off-Topic)

The Weapon of a Jedi: A Luke Skywalker Adventure; set between Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back

Smuggler's Run: A Han Solo Adventure; set between Star Wars and Empire Stirkes Back

Moving Target: A Princes Leia Adventure, set between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi

I hadn't looked previously; I didn't know that there was a Han story (although I should have know better!), and I assumed they were all set post-RotJ. I was wrong there, so I'm not sure how much there will be relevant to The Force Awakens (although they are all titled Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, so maybe there is something in them).

The Marvel comics are in the new contuinity, btw. Although I'm sad Dark Horse no longer has the IP, most of the Marvel books have great art. I've picked up some of the issues and they're hit-or-miss with the story. In some they've revisited old EU locations which makes me happy, in others Luke is having duels with Darth Vader before their confrontation in Empire Strikes Back, which makes no sense to me.

But Stuart Immonen's arc was mind-blowing in the visual department. He captures all the vehicles and characters perfectly without looking like direct photo-references - all while mantiaining his fluid style.

A mini-series on the Force Awakens pilot is coming out soon, and that'll be their first jab into that era.
