THIS is a proper Skywalker saga sequel.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ahsoka may not be a big-screen Star Wars movie, but its story is a better Skywalker Saga sequel trilogy than Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy.
The prequel trilogy didn't outright contradict any of the events of the original trilogy, but it did drastically recontextualize a number of perceptions fans had about the story for years. It turns out the Jedi Order wasn't as glorious as people believed, Emperor Palpatine was a far bigger deal than anyone realized, and it turns out Darth Vader was actually a prophesied "Chosen One" who would bring balance to the Force.
While Darth Vader is mentioned and Kylo Ren has Darth Vader's helmet and Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber is a focal point of the trilogy, the sequels completely ignore Anakin Skywalker and the implications of his life and death. In fact, the reveal that Palpatine survived undermines the importance of Anakin's sacrifice, which is the fulfillment of the Chosen One prophesy.
After Return of the Jedi, a sequel needs to ask things like was Vader really redeemed? What does that mean for his legacy? Do we just forget all the bad stuff he did? How should he be remembered? Luke and Leia are Anakin's kids, but they only ever knew him as a villain, while Ashoka was virtually raised by him and taught by him. Anakin even tells her, "within you will be everything I am" and "you're part of a legacy.
