...How was that a retcon AT ALL?
People tossing the word Retcon willy nilly have no idea what that means.
It's not lol
Apparently continuing with any character or plot from TLJ is a retcon smear on RJ. I truly don't understand. JJ picked up the threads and made his movie just like RJ did the same in TLJ.
TLJ: Luke rejected the Jedi for the last 20 years!
ROS: But wait, he hasn't! It's all to be idolized!
TLJ: Rey comes from nobodys!
ROS: But wait! She's a Palpatine! But wait! She's a Skywalker deep inside!
TLJ: Jedi don't matter, anyone can be important!
ROS: But wait! Cling to the past and all the Jedi! Nothing changed!
TLJ: Kylo is a good guy! No, a bad guy!
ROS: But wait! Now he'a a good guy!
TFA: Chewie doesn't mourn for Han Solo
ROS: Leia dies! Oh no poor Chewie!!!
EPIV: Chewie doesn't get a medal!
ROS: Chewie gets a medal!
it just goes on and on and on and on.
It's fucking apparent.
Also, if Rey is a "Palpatine," what's Palpatine's fist name?
Jerry Palpatine?
Simon Palpatine?
