^ 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.

Yes, that is an awesome job compiling & highlighting those retcons & changes by Filoni to others’ previous work in Star Wars.
And more impressive that the links are to fair and balanced articles in the main, and not people just looking to hate on Filoni.
I agree with you Caston on the call for the original creatives to be credited when their work in used or mentioned in other later content, whether that work is retconned or not. Putting up a ‘references list’ in the actual episode credits, or in articles and episode guides on the official website would be seem to be a simple and effective way to do that.
Great post!
