I just like the implications of TWBW, because it shows us that the force is truly the linchpin that holds the SWU together at a cosmic/metaphysical level- past, present, and future.
Cool concept, but again, it was really just introduced as a plot-device for Ahsoka.

It dialed down on the power creep we'd gotten in the Old republic and New Republic/NJO eras which is good.
It also erased a shit ton of frankly awful story lines. Everything past the first Zhan trilogy (by in-universe chronology) was basically dogshit sans a few stand-outs like I, Jedi. Draining the swamp (heh) was a good move on Disney's part. They ****ed up by replacing it all with the equally shitty timeline that is the sequel trilogy, but they get points for effort.
I'm actually fairly optimistic about the canon of the series going forward. It's been hard watching them treat the Big Three like shit on screen, but the number of pre-existing characters is growing pretty thin. Once Leia, Chewie and Ghost-Luke are permanently out of the way we'll have an entirely OC cast and Disney's writing is competent enough to handle that.

But we'll see. Also you sure their writing is that competent? Because the ST has been filled mostly with Disney only characters and it hasn't...well gone that well given what TLJ did with most of the plot points set up.
I wanna be optimistic but kinda hard to given I don't see what EP 9 could really bring, other than the Knights of Ren. That and it seems they are also bringing Yoda back, for whatever reason...seems kinda dumb.

Did Rey at some point open up wormholes in space that destroy fleets, eat the life on planets, or manipulating black holes? Because I'm pretty positive that's what Blax meant by power creep. What you're talking about is more a narrative issue with Rey's relative power in the mythos being pretty unjustified.
Please don't get turn into DBZ. Please stay in the realms of reality.
