So the canon is to be changed, yet again. I'm telling you all. Continuity is not important anymore.
“There are certain events that happen in these five years that are important and need to be paid attention to. There are certain people, characters that are legacy characters, that the audience, the passionate audience, really feels that they have an understanding of and know.
In some cases, they’re right. And in some cases, what we’re saying is, ‘What you know, what you’ve been told, what’s on Wookieepedia, what you’ve been telling each other … is really all wrong.’ It’s upside down, or it’s sideways, or it’s the opposite of what you thought was true. Or it’s way more interesting than you had ever thought. Or that’s a lie and there’s a reason for it. I would say that there’s some surprises in store.” -Dark Horizons
I love the descriptor telling us before the show even airs that we're all wrong. That's certainly not the kind of talk that's going to garner much trust. Look this trailer looks promising and I stand by that. I hope I'm dead wrong with my initial thoughts about it and this show turns out to be amazing, but if you care at all about continuity then just be ready because it's about to be unseated yet again.
