[spoiler=sort of spoilers about Zuko]I found it weird that they never explained what happened to his mother.[/spoiler]

I think they left it out purposedly. To leave either an open ending easy enough for us to understand that he finally had control of his life and his family, and for there to be a fourth book if anyone wanted to close up anything.

To update it, it's said that Legend of Korra will be 100 years in the future and will feature a new female character as the Avatar, arising when her help is necessary. Aparently, the technology and culture will have evolved, and she'll be able to contact Aang in the Spirit World. (all rumors so far)

I should have made a note about this too, but at the time I was getting my info from a particularly older thread on another forum and I wanted to kinda do some digging for recent news on these developments. Still for all though, with a setup like this and the Avatar world itself, I can't help but get a little excited.

[spoiler=Questions that could spoil the uninitiated.]
- Who will play the roles as the new Order of The White Lotus?
- With a new waterbending avatar, the order of learning bending styles changes yet again. Who will be teaching her airbending? (I.E. Will there be more airbending descendants? *Looks over at Aang & Katara*

)
- What effect will Aang's actions have on the world in retrospect? (As much as ousting Firelord Ozai was the goal & major changing pace in the tide of the Fire Nation War, you can tell that this action might have made some fire nation members sway in terms of beliefs. This could be the set up fr a lot of political or military like unrest.)
- Will we ever find out what happened to Zuko's mother explicitly or will it be hinted at?
- DOES TOPH STAY AWESOME THROUGH HER LIFETIME? (Probably yes.

)[/spoiler]

Quote from: IGN

Nickelodeon has just greenlit a new animated series from Avatar: the Last Airbender creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. According to the network's president, Brown Johnson, the series-- currently titled The Legend of Korra-- will be expanding the mythology of the Avatar franchise, setting it roughly 70 years after the original show's events with a whole new cast of characters.

"Mike and Bryan have imagined a compelling new story inspired by the Airbender mythology that they so brilliantly crafted when the TV series began," Johnson said. "This new avatar is not only a girl, but also hot-headed, independent and ready to take on the world."

The Legend of Korra follows the adventures of a "passionate, rebellious and fearless" teenager from the Southern Water Tribe, a girl named Korra. Having already mastered three of the four elements (Earth, Water, and Fire), she seeks to master the final element of Air. Her travels eventually lead her to the metropolis of Republic City, an epicenter for the modern Avatar world. Although a thriving society of benders and non-benders alike, Republic City is also ridden with crime, including an anti-bending rebellion that is gaining momentum. Under the guidance of Aang's son, Tenzin, Korra begins her airbending training as she confronts the dangers ahead of her.

The Legend of Korra will be produced at Nickelodeon Animation Studios and is expected to begin airing sometime in 2011.

I now present, a necropost of extraordinary proportions!!

Well, somewhat. There might be more revealed at this years comic-con hopefully.

A fansite has opened and we got a couple looks at our protagonist, Korra as well as a seemingly "Appa-equivalent" polar bear-dog. And our last image show Korra and the gang. All of which can be viewed on the fansite.

Finally, an interview.

Ooerr.
This one's older, and seems much more self-sufficient and competent.

Actually I'm worried that'll make her uninteresting...

From a mentality standpoint, she can still be really inexperienced. The creaters of the show said that she is hotheaded and rebellious, which could interfere with her fighting (as it did Zuko). I'm sure there will be a lot of character development for her, they wouldn't make her a masterful fighter from the getgo. She still has to learn different techniques from Tenzin.

EDIT: [spoiler=for those who don't want to search for the info]-City is now called "United Republic", founded by Aang and Zuko
-Korra's Krew is the new Aang gaang
-Brothers in her Krew, One is a firebender, one is an earthbender
-Fire is Mako, Earth is Bolin
-Mako is the brooding...not as amuch as Zuko, Bolin is the younger, goofier brother. Kind of naive.
-Bolin is a way of incorp the original type of character they wanted for Toph
-Bear is titled Naga...and is female
-Paboo, the red panda black footed ferret.
-Paboo will be Bolins buddy, and is known as a fire ferret in the series
-Aang finds a heard of sky bison after the war
-new species of flying lemur
-Kataang has 3 Kids, youngest is an airbender named Tenzin
-Tenzin has a family, and three kids
-Meelo is Tenzins little boy
-Tenzin is very serious, but when his kids are crazy, he can be really funny, tries to be the "zen master" but loses his patience sometimes
-Pema is Tenzin's wife
-Tenzin has 3 airbenders kids, Pemma however is not a bender
-Jinora, bookworm, oldest of Tenzins kids
-Iki talks a mile a minute and is really fun and crazy
-On meelo: strangely the uglier he got the cuter be became
-Revolutionarly leader is Avon - Creepy masked guy..
=Chi Blockers are his henchmen, Ty lees discipline spread
-All of the "bad guys" are masked, very steampunk esque
-METALBENDER COPS
-Toph traveled the world and taught earthbenders how to harness the ability, a rare thing, but they are the elite, swap team of Republic city. spools on their back that release and contract metal cables so they can zip around the city
-TOPHS DAUGHTER IS CHIEF OF POLICE . no word on who the father is.
