I really hope they get the chance to hit up some older stories like the Darth Bane trilogy, but I doubt it'll ever come to pass.

Reminds me of the sysadmin paradox, where when things are going well, nobody recognizes their efforts. But when things go wrong, everyone blames them. Similar kind of bias going on in both situations.
