They ARE putting things back in canon. Not out of desperation but knowing how to work a prolonged story. First you take the tens of thousands of pages OUT so you don’t have drag that albatross around then you say: OK that parts awesome, put it back; and that part; and that one; no not that one. That’s one of the things they’re using SW Rebels for, it’s the big “put it back in canon” engine.
I hope you’re right but I expect nothing but crap and don’t get disappointed as a result.
