Perfect, now i can pretend that Disney's SW was just a very bad story told by a drunken rodian at Mos Eisley's cantina

[dr.JackieBright]

I love that Sam Witwer is basically THE authority on Star Wars lore and trivia. As for the inconsistencies, it's all about framing. If you've made it clear that there's an unreliable narrator, then it's all well and good to have a couple inconsistent details as long as characters stay themselves. But if it's framed as "here is the correct and infallible truth of you seeing this yourself as it's happening, " then inconsistencies just become something that has to be explained properly or it just seems like someone didn't know what they were doing.

[LebronTraveled]

I understand where he’s coming from if it’s narration style but I think the audience prefers continuity

[allrequiredfields]

Nah, this is a cop-out. Consistency absolutely is valuable.

[firestar]

I'm more like Sam in that department. Retcons and discrepancies annoy me.

[berettaroadchronicles]

You can have minor differences, but the story must be consistent. That is how you maintain continuity and prevent plot holes .

[kobeslaughter]

That feels like a cop-out. "I don't feel like going back and checking, so just run with it to save us the headache."

[Layne_____]

If it was "the compiled legends of star wars" inconsistencies could be considered a bonus. You could write as though the stories are in-universe legends being passed around. But when it's "this is the official canon, watch it unfold in real time in front of you. This is what happened." those inconsistencies are now flaws and have 0 positive aspects

Explains a lot of Dave Filoni's approach...

[ser_ryon_vine]

Perfect cop out for continuity errors lol

[TheIronDuke]

Well that's a convenient philosophy

[luckyj.ferguson]

No wonder the cannon is messed up. Always exceptions to the rules... When it's convenient.

[Akiba-druk]

Someone needs to tell Filoni that these aren't campire stories. They are very expensive pieces of media that need to make sense.

[hectormontes]

So that’s why Filoni makes the most continuity errors out of anyone

[DarkRift]

The problem is tall tales are oral histories told around a campfire. These are stories immortalized on film

[catiscray]

I love how passionate he is. Maul is one of my favorite characters. You can literally feel his care of the story in his voice work. He's amazing.

*J. J. Abrams and Rion Johnson walk into the room…and slowly back away in terror when they realize this topic of conversation does not include what they did*

[DavidM_]

Nope. Sam was correct. Dave was wrong. Quality control and consistency in a shared universe is only a good thing.

[harveybaldry]

"it's better if things are different. Consistency doesn't matter" seems like a polite way of saying "screw all the hard work you put into writing this. I want to do something else instead. You don't like me ruining your work? Oh that's okay. It's better if things are different"

[thepinkbucket]

No, this is just a way for Dave to do whatever the fuck he wants without having to adhere to a timeline
