Rogue One shatters that. At the end of the movie, we see Vader rip apart a bunch of rebels who are getting information to Leia. It ends minutes before A New Hope begins. Vader then shows up on Leias ship and immediately starts ripping into her. Whether Vader knew about her prior to this encounter, it shouldn’t matter. She is now a known ally of the Rebellion. He’s been known to squeeze information out of anyone with no hesitation, being able to sense their intent from miles away, but she completely bluffs him? This young woman who he knows is a rebel? He’s the leader of the Inquisitors. His whole deal is finding people who are force sensitive and then either killing or turning them. He’s been training people for years, able to sense levels of force sensitivity in them that the person isn’t even aware of.
People complain about NuTrek breaking established canon but there’s literally no example of it. Meanwhile Star Wars has written itself into such an extreme corner that their movies no longer make sense.
I read an interview with Dave Filoni. He basically said that what he’s trying to fix with all the Star Wars shows on Disney+. He’s trying to fill in the major plot holes, clarify stuff the writers left vague, and make the movies at least somewhat reasonable.
As a nerd, I appreciate the effort, but he’s got a LOT of work to do.
I heard that he was doing that to bridge the gap between the Original Trilogy and the Sequel Trilogy, and that’s coming along well, but if he’s trying to bridge the gap between the Prequels and the Originals then he’s doing a genuinely terrible job. A lot of the inconsistencies between those two trilogies have come about because of his involvement and his shows. At that point he’d just be trying to clean up his own mess while patting himself on the back.
Ah okay. Then yeah, he’s doing a great job there in my opinion. I could always kinda see where they were going between OT and ST so didn’t bother me much. I also actively liked Lukes decline in TLJ and thought it fit the character really well. A dude who had been lifted up as the savior of the galaxy having a single moment of weakness and fear, his fight against the dark side slipping only for a moment but enough to do lasting damage? Loved it.
How did she bluff Vader? He took her and tortured and interrogated her, he didn’t fall for her lie. And she didn’t even know she was his daughter at the time, so why would he have sensed that?

Agreed. Original trilogy and sequel trilogy is what I was referring to. He’s trying to use the shows to bridge that gap.
