Oh no, now Dave is as evil as Kathleen Kennedy because he directed characters he created to have a backstory he desired!

Everyone working on Star Wars must hate the fans and want them to hate Star Wars, because that’s the only reason any of them would do anything, and that makes sense for a company to intentionally make their products worse!

In reality, they think about it a lot. But they always focus on what’s best for the current story they’re telling, not for what perfectly aligns to other stories. The comic told this part of the story in the manner that served the comic best, and Aftermath told it from the perspective that served The Bad Batch best. Both can co-exist, and neither is a slight against the other.

Catering to fan whims is how we got The Rise of Skywalker. So, while I don’t think they’re antipathetic toward fans of the publishing side of things, and I don’t think writers on the publishing side intentionally don’t talk to people on the shows, I feel like fans don’t realise how much is going on at any given time, how many people are involved, and how impossible it would be to keep more strict continuity.

There’s a reason most of publishing has shifted to areas of the timeline where current shows and movies are not taking place.
