Honestly if they made 3PO’s Battle Droid antics from AOTC relevant to IX, I think it would be Lucasfilm’s way of taking ownership of all Star Wars, good and bad. Don’t like the worst of the saga? Well now you can’t ignore it! I know people would hate it but honestly I would admire their balls if that ends up being true.
But that probably won’t be the case so I wouldn’t worry about it.
