Like everything. Bail Organa's association with Kenobi and rebels is now known. (It was already janky when The Force Unleashed did this.) Vader and Kenobi have now met twice, between films. When its very strongly suggested between Episode III and Episode IV, that those are the only times they've faced each other. Also, Tarkin assumes that Kenobi has long been dead, even though the Empire and Vader just ran into him only 9 years ago. It was a lot more believable when Kenobi just disappeared for 19 years. (Not to mention that it sucks all kinds of emotional weight out of III and IV, to now have them fight, twice.) And then Leia and Kenobi know each other? Like what?What do you think wasn't resolved?
I don't think it was as bad as prior GL retcons. However fan cuts like the Paterson one make this series connect better, than what Deborah Chow portrayed.
Yes, George is very guilty of retcons. And yeah we tend to let them slide, because it's him. Particularly with the films. But that doesn't mean everyone else can or should do it. (Also I'm totally going to call out George's dumb retcons in TCW.)
