Disney has distanced themselves from the Prequels where it counts, the films, in the grand scheme of things TCW and the comics are inconsequential to Disney’s bottom line when compared to the box office.
Admittedly I have yet to come to terms with my disappointment with TROS and the ST by extension, I am aware that much of the blame goes to KK and the writers - namely Abrams with his pseudo purist view of Star wars, but I am certain that the corporate heads at Disney (namely Alan horn and Iger) had a LOT of influence -the final say- on the development and production, and are the the ones that steered the ST in this direction and they should be the ones taking most of the blame primarily, its their “product” after all.
