#the sabine retcon is consistent with his writing style

[englishlaboratory]

I have to admit that I'm surprised people are flipping out over Dave Filoni writing Ahsoka to train Sabine. The change is consistent with his writing style, and it's far less drastic than his other choices.

"It breaks pre-established lore"

Remember the Clone Wars microchips that spat in the face of preexisting books and games? Or the inconsistencies in Kanan's origin between the books and Bad Batch? Or how RotS strongly implies Obi-Wan and Grievous had never met before? At least this change has some lore to back it up (Force in all things).

"Filoni is only doing this to make his original characters special"

That's not unique to him. Just look at Saba Sebatyne or Alema Rar from Legends. Ahsoka appears in TCW, Rebels, Mandalorian, and has her own show. I still remember when everyone thought she was going to die in Order 66

"It goes against the themes and purpose of the Jedi"

Again, microchips. A show that revolved around showing clones as people only to turn them into meat droids at the end of it. Not to mention the way he scrambled the characterization of the Night Sisters (not originally necromancers), General Grievous (look at 2003), Thrawn (more cartoonishly evil), and Onderon (it's almost unrecognizable from its source material)
