Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi (www.yahoo.com)

Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire's control and morally gray characters
Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others

8 didn't do any retcons. A retcon would be "actually Snoke isn't the main villain, he's just a clone created by Palpatine." 8 was perfectly happy to play nice with all the facts established in 7, and then have Ben kill Snoke as the first dramatic climax of the movie. 8 gets to have two dramatic climaxes because Rian Johnson is a brilliant filmmaker.

A retcon would be “actually Snoke isn’t the main villain, he’s just a clone created by Palpatine.”

by the logic you're using, that still wouldn't be a retcon, because it would've been the intention the entire time

i'm also stunned you think anything about "he turns the lightsaber to face his TRUE ENEMY" was well handled
