Enough to satisfy any fan of the saga. As always, the very well informed site 9to5toys already seems to know everything and is leaking everything:

FYI, The term Midi-Scale in the context of LEGO sets refers to a scale of models that is larger than mini-models (or microscale), but smaller than standard-scale models or UCS versions (Ultimate Collector Series). In other words, Midi-Scale models are a kind of intermediate scale.

October sets: Although there is no official confirmation, clues point to a UCS set of Jabba’s Sailing Barge. This model should have around 6,500 pieces and would cost around $600… A huge set therefore… For the record, a UCS set, or “Ultimate Collector Series”, in the world of LEGO, refers to a range of particularly detailed and complex sets, generally aimed at adult collectors.
