The existing cannon is what it is, you can only add to it, not wish that it was different.

It’s called plot and story.

Fan fiction is when you expand on the universe, not wish they’d written better stories with no idiotic plot holes.
Mentioned this a million times, Star Wars is the 'King of Excuses'

They put together some bad films and explained it away with:

"well you didnt know all the back-story and all of these obscure facts and events that were included in books, TV shows and comics that totally make the whole thing make complete sense!!!"

No. You didnt put all of the relevant information to make the story coherent into the story you were trying to tell. Thats nobody's fault but yours. Dont pass that buck along. Its just blame-shifting.

Thats not 'Fan Fiction' though, that is pure, Corporate 'Cover Your Ass' by trying to blame everyone other than the people responsible for the turd that you left in the theatre by trying to distract people with an incomprehensible mashup of incoherent scenes of 'shiny things happening quickly.'

Endgame and Infinity War were incalculably better. Even nit-picking the science of time travel (forget about straight up Magic) they were damned fun movies that minor inconsistencies cant ruin.
