Shouldn’t be that complicated since they’re just babies throughout that trilogy right? My version of this is probably the more complicated one, where I replace Dash Rendar and Leebo in Shadows of the Empire with Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors.

Sure, I just can’t imagine reading the books and constantly having to make a mental note that the “twins” is just a boy named Ben, not to mention having to ignore their names constantly.
F.ex. the most complicated my personal retconning has ever gotten is ignoring page 1 of Marvel’s Star Wars #11 (e.g. a short recap of a story I didn’t care for). Constantly retconning two characters, despite being babies, just seems very difficult to me.

However I will admit that your Dash Rendar retcon/replacing sounds damn right tedious.
Also; why?
I’ll admit that Dash isn’t the greatest character ever made, but why replace him? Also how do you make his personality and character development fit with Katarn’s? Not to mention the whole “dying” at the end thing? As a fan of Katarn I’m genuinely curious as to how all this works in your canon.

EDIT. (Come to think of it, with all the Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy mods I’m kind of surprised that no one has ever modded the Shadows of the Empire game to include Katarn from Dark Forces II.)
