I can understand not wanting to be bound by continuity but it seems like Disney is already enforcing an even heavier one. I was pretty excited when they introduced the Force using Inquisitors in Star Wars: Rebels but I was kind of flummoxed when they were all unceremoniously killed off at the end of season 2. I read online that the execs at Disney demanded that everything must line up perfectly for the original trilogy and since the Empire had no other Force users but Vader and Palpy than they had to go.



Now, you'd think if they didn't clash with the movies then they'd be okay, but NOPE! They have to align perfectly with them. I admit I would have preferred some greater continuity between the Prequels and the original but this is taking things too extreme.
