Can anyone explain to me please why we are getting a Obi-Wan / Vader meet up in this when it will re-write 'lore' in the original films from the prequel films, in the sense, they are not supposed to meet since the limb-chopping until when we see them 'fight' in New Hope, that's the whole point, of their battle in ANH, Episode 4, that the dialogue tells you this. I don't get why they are ret-conning one of the most important parts of the entire mythology, beyond, 'oh it's cool'.
Money. Darth Vader = money.
Technically, this can be done without 'retconning' in the strictest sense because the references in the original film are vague enough. Nothing in the films explicitly says the pair never met again. And to be honest the connective tissue between 3 and 4 is a bit shoddy anyway. Arguably another meeting might strengthen continuity. But it's being done for money.
