The very second I found out that Disney had bought the rights, I swore I would never watch any material they might produce. First, because it’s Disney. Second, well, you know, Palpatine exploded in E VI, so there really was no story to tell after that.
On a weird kind of metaphysical level, I feel that, at the end of the day, it’s up to the fans, and not necessarily the producers, to decide what’s canon and what’s not. And I’ve declared for myself that there is no such thing as a canon sequel trilogy. Normally, I would simply pirate stuff from companies I don’t like, but Disney doesn’t even deserve that treatment. I’m not watching the stuff, and that’s final.
Agreed. But still, the problem there was not that Palpatine returned.
(Even though, more than a decade after characters in Agents of Shield started asking each other “wait, you never died, have you?” people shouldn’t turn as often into that option.)
I would still absolutely recommend Andor, despite Disney. It’s produced by Disney but they gave a ton of creative freedom to Tony Gilroy. It’s also pretty much just a prequel to Episode IV anyway, so it doesn’t really have any relation to the prequels or the sequels. It’s a great piece of art on its own, and could easily stand on its own without Star Wars.

To be fair, Maul was cut in half and thrown in some ray-filled pit. And it didn’t take Disney to bring him back.
it’s okay to cheat if results are good. Maul coming back was dope because it was well written.
