...that I was with it until Vader actually showed up on the planet. Then it got ridiculous.

Call me an O.G. nitpicker or whatever, but it kind of dilutes the power the confrontation of the Vader/Obi-Wan stand-off in Episode 4 if they Vader not only knew he was alive but also fought him on some random mining planet. And yeah, I know that they made up the entire series as they went along, but these newer series work best when they plug holes, not add new ones.

The Inquistors hunting Obi-Wan/Leia and Third Sister's conflict with the rest of them is interesting. Vader is best served keeping him in the background.
