^ The Kings of baffling retcons in Star Wars. Often it is simply unnecessary alterations or re-writes of other creatives’ work in the GFFA.

Lists of retcons made in 2008 The Clone Wars, and writing over of Karen Traviss’ previously established work in the EU.

I then thought about some of the other retcons and alterations that Dave Filoni has made in his Star Wars projects to other creatives’ previous work in the GFFA… and I ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole on this! I’ve edited in more articles and information below on just some of his retcons to… the EU, in both Legends and Canon, the Prequel Trilogy, 2003 Clone Wars, Rebels, The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, Tales of the Jedi, and also for the Ahsoka series.

Wow! Caston, that really is some post! Nice work, and I have bookmarked it for future reference.

I hadn’t realized Filoni was so habitual when it comes to using and then altering others’ previous contributions in Star Wars.

Those links for enormous amount of retcons and alterations in the 2008 The Clone Wars series are real eye openers to me.
 

The apprentice really has done his best to surpass the master at unnecessary retcons and writing over other creatives’ work.

And those original creatives should definitely have their work credited or referenced each time it is used afterwards by others.
