>>11184745>the only parts of the show i can rememberSounds like you have a memory problem. It's not on the show. It's on you.
>people who claim that tcw 'salvaged' the prequelsYou are right. Nothing can 'salvage' the prequels. Because nothing can retroactively go and change them. All the outside material is meant to give more context. And no, the show does not contradict anything in the films and makes perfect sense with them.
>anakin alone discredits the entire thing because tcwAnakin is no different from Anakin in the opening act of ROTS or parts of AOTC. Anakin in the movies was in a different context, and was at his lowest points, i.e. death of his mother and visions of Padme's death. But not even the movies defined him as a whiny bitch only, which the EU did, because the EU was stupid.
>obi wan, one of the biggest hard asses in the pt and follows the code to a fault, actually had a secret gf and may or may not have had a child with her that pretends to be a nephewObi-Wan is human. And there is nothing wrong with the idea that he had a love interest when he was a Padawan. But he chose to follow the Jedi code and he stayed with the Order. Which is to contrast Anakin and his inability to choose between Padme and being a Jedi. And you are being disingenuous on purpose by even entertaining the idea that Korkie is in any way related to him.
>clones loyalty to the republic got replaced with mind controlClones loyalty to Sidious always ways hard wired with genetic alteration. Organic inhibitors built into their genetic code that are literally part of their brain is what those genetic alterations were. Nothing was replaced. Just like midi-chlorians gave additional context to the Force, this did give context to genetic alterations of the clones.
>maul survivingAnakin survived getting dismembered and burned alive at the shore of a lava river.
>retcons to pre established worksCan't retcon what was never canon. EU was fanfiction. TCW was Lucas' work.
