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

I mean I think this show is more on Ahsoka than Anakin, considering she has way more episodes. But to be expected since Dave was at the helm.
Though the title is irking, but moreso cause now the title is gonna be more remembered for the show than the comic series.

Those old comics with Exar Kun right ? I used to have some, but actually completely forgot that was their title.Legends is truly dead.
Along with Ulic-Qel Droma, Nomi Sunrider, Vodo Baas, Naga Sadow etc.
Nah it's never gonna really die, so long as people are around that know it.

I wouldn't really call that a retcon, because you're talking legends vs. canon.But she is pretty pathetic in canon. Same with Shaak Ti.
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.

Yes I had them pre-TPM. So very old stuff.We will be gone one day. Whereas Disney canon will go on forever.
We live in the era of digital preservation.
Legends comics are more than safe. Nothing dies on the web, not even Darth Thor's nudes.
