Speaking of retcons. As I never watched Rebels I had no idea Depa Billba was changed so much from her Shatterpoint characterization. A ***** ass Soresu practitioner? Generic "killed by her own Clones" O66 death? This BAD ***** was a Colonel Kurtz homage who fell to the dark side after fighting on space Vietnam for too long, and gave Mace a run for his money as a duelist, with him proclaiming that her mastery of vapaad had outpaced his own. How did she go from that to becoming the most generic Jedi character of all time? **** Dave Filoni.

the very title of this series pissed me off. got excited because i thought it would be an adaptation instead of just taking the name for an irrelevant story. It was a comic series of short stories from long long before any skywalkers showed up, some long before yoda even showed up. i was like "YES! disney is finally going to detach the star wars universe from anakin's dick" and NOPE its just more skywanker shitshow. so glad they took all that time to clear up all the ridiculous tedious unresolved plot fragments from episode 2. i guess that retroactively makes ep2 a well written movie. what a waste of time

A lot of things just in general have been done dirty. I’m still flabbergasted at what they did to Shaak Ti, who’s bright idea was it to have her meditating on a Holocron from like 5 feet from the door to outside where the Jedi were fighting for their lives.
I get it sure, Ti was also apparently unaware in the deleted scene in ROTS…but it was deleted I’m sure for a reason, because it was stupid.
