I've been doing some digging. Hans im Glueck have announced:
Carcassonne:Amazonas will be released at Essen, along with the first Star Wars Expansion:
http://www.merz-verlag-en.com/new-releases.htmlThis you probably already know, but if you check the releases you'll see that the Cundco Shop is also releasing: "The Watchtowers" which looks to be a mini-expansion given it costs 6.50Euro. No more is known by me at this time. Interestingly, the Japanese Temples were not listed, even though these are to be released at Essen.
As I said before, I'm looking forward to the first StarWars expansion.
Product details have been released here including the rules PDF:
http://www.schmidtspiele.de/produkt-detail/product/star-wars-carcassonne-erweiterung-1-48260.htmlThe rules show, there will be 18 tiles which look like variants from TnB & InC. Also included are 6th player: Kylo Ren meeple and 50/100 point markers.
The significant change to the rules are each player is given a lightsabre and a blaster which can be placed with their meeple and act as dice modifiers, including a D6 which rolls 3,4,5,6,7,8. BB8 is shown as the watermark.
Edit: I forgot to include Bretspielebox's Link about it all:
