Part 8/10:
This ongoing process suggests Disney isn't finished reshaping the Rise of Skywalker narrative even after its theatrical release. These new scenes may introduce elements that challenge or expand the original film, which still sparks debate about respect for Lucas’s canon and storytelling integrity.

He points out that canon has been repeatedly altered, often without regard for previous established facts—such as Ahsoka's fate, the true Sith doctrine, or the timelines of key events.
