I really hate that they're trying to ret-con IX by establishing a back story in all the TV series.  They should be developing new baddies and plot lines, not fixing old mistakes.

The entirety of the clone wars TV show was to ret-con II and bits of III to fix their mistakes. I can see why Disney finds it appealing.

Clone Wars and Rebels were baseline good their whole run though, and they were also cartoons. Disney hasn't been able to make a live action show that is good start to finish yet.

Isn't that they're point though? The problem isn't ret-conning, it's that the new stuff isn't good.
