So now that there has been a separation of Canon and Legends, what do you guys like and dislike about the New Canon? Guess I'll start.
Like
1. Dr. Cylo and his experiments= There was some real potential here, I liked the mix of technology and Jedi aspects together and Cylo essentially being the smartest tech-head in the galaxy, becoming immortal through the use of technology.
2. Star Wars Rebels(to an extent)= To a point I like it, mainly the creature designs, especially the Purrgil with their natural ability to travel through hyperspace. Bendu also was pretty interesting. Some episodes are ok. Character development is....eh, mostly seems more to Kanan/Ezra which is good.
3. Vader Down comic series= I had fun with this, was interesting and showed Vader as being awesome while dealing with problems.
Dislike
1. Dr. Cylo's death= This guy I felt was extremely wasted, he was made to be an antagonist for Vader...ok that's fine. But at the same time, there was so much more he could have done, maybe bring the Dark Troopers into play in Canon or become a real antagonist to the Rebel Alliance.
2. The Inquisitorius= Where to I start...just everything about the Canon Inquisitors is just so....no....yeah that's it really, the GI was the only interesting character. Those spinny sabers...stupid.
3. Star Wars Rebels= As I noted, some episodes were ok. Most I felt kinda dragged a little bit, though I felt the only better episodes were when old characters from TCW, movies or Legends became involved. The Mando episodes were a tad little better, though mostly due to action.
====
Decided to limit myself to 3 things in each, can do more though if you want.
I don't like how Disney ended the civil war against the Empire in one year. In Legends it took years to totally destroy an empire which had conquered most of the galaxy, so it makes sense that it took some years to conquer every system or sector. I would have made the war last at least 3-4 years before a truce could be signed. I also liked how many imperial officers tried to save the Empire in EU, but now basically we have only Rax, there is no more room for other antagonists to make a last stand against the Republic. Something I also like is that, at least currently, they aren't adding too many Jedi survivors. In EU, we had 200 Jedi at least roaming the galaxy after order 66, many still active by the time of the Civil war. It made the Order 66 and operation Knoghtfall look far less impressive. Hope the add a few more Jedi (Quinlan Vos please), but not too many. I'd say a few dozens at best, so no more than 30-40 initial survivors, maybe 50-60 if we include Jedi turned Inquisitors. However by the time of the OT they should all be dead or retired. I would also appreciate if New canon gave us more info on the Jedi's origins etc, but I'll guess they'll do it after they're done with OT and PT material.
As of now I don't like the First Order at all, but the next movies could change my mind

Yep, battle of Jakku, the last battle of the war, happened just one year and 4 days after Endor. After that, Galactic Concordance was signed by the two parties. As I Said, it sounds a bit unrealistic how in 369 days the rebels were able to conquer so many territories while the imperial army could apparently not hold them at bay at all. I mean, they fought against the Rebellion for years, and they were doing well, but it seems like after Palpatine's death they've all become shitty soldiers
Yeah...EU handled it much better then. Hell Pellaeon noted they could have still crushed the entire Rebel fleet even after losing the Executor and DS2, if they weren't fighting themselves.
That Vader thing gives more credence to ROTS Anakin being a total powerhouse. Because if that was after surgery, imagine what he could have done before his injuries.
So, not wanting to kill your best friend and mentor somehow weakens you being angry at the guy who lied and said that he could save your wife? Seems legit.
