At the same time, I do feel as if Filoni doesn't really give a s**t if he messes with continuity or not. I'm mostly referring to The Clone Wars. The fact that that is now the canon version of that time period is kind of dumb. The incompatible Clone Wars events from the comics, books, and micro-series were much more believable and just better thought out, for the most part.
Actually, Filoni did whatever he could to stick to continuity. Things like returning Maul were things that Lucas insisted on. It's Lucas who doesn't really give a s**t about continuity.
Speaking of The Clone Wars, it changed something that I disliked about the EU: that Maul's tattoos were described as Sith tattoos. The Sith were in hiding, so why would they tattoo themselves?
