If they hadn't attempted to use any of Lucas' backstory from S7+8, then I would understand S9 being a completely different story, as it were. But because they used details from the previous writers, I'm never (personally) going to be able to see S9 as a stand-alone script.

That does make sense, Byatil, , they should have indeed stayed away from S7 and S8, by not using info given to us in those two seasons. Maybe that way it would be less (somewhat) confusing.
Let's say we both agree on the fact that they messed up S9 completely !

Ah yes, if that was their goal, they certainly succeeded!!!
It's a pitty they don't seem to care what their viewers think about it, and the fact that they think of us as silly, apperantly. They should be ashamed to have messed up such an opportunity to go deep in the psyche of Lucas and instead they gave us ...!
