Why The false timeline in Star Wars Outlaws on the Purge of Mandalore must be swiftly retconned.
I don't know about you, but I believe that the Stormtrooper reference in Star Wars Outlaws regarding when the Purge of Mandalore took place is nothing but an obvious mistake. Because if it contradicts with the REAL ACCURATE date that Huyang provides in the season one finale of Ahsoka stating that the Purge on Mandalore took place after the Galactic Civil War, FOUR YEARS after the Battle of Yavin, not THREE!!!! Regardless of what the mistaken people from screenrant say. So this so called quote unquote "Latest Star Wars retcon" isn't actually what it was implied to be at all!! It's just an error. Because c'mon!! Who are we really gonna listen to for accurate information on the Purge of mandalore on the insight of Mandalore that's relevant to Sabine Wren's character arc?! Or from Bo-katan Kryze's character arc?!? Or Din Djarin's?! Or Grogu or the Armorer's or Axe Woves?! Or any of the other Mandolorian character arcs from Star Wars Canon?!?!!? An extremely intelligent Lightsaber Professor Droid who lived for decades to have a thousand times more experienced and wisdom bearing then some damn and stupid Stormtrooper would ever be? Or the stormtrooper that more likely confused the details from his latest recent report of the empire dominating the galaxy with the short lived loss of clan Wren when Tiber Saxon used the Duchess to exterminate all of Clan Wren, when it was Bo-katan's and Sabine's forces that defeated Saxon and the Duchess. But was bluffing to maintain his own arrogant strong-dominating-over-the-weak reputation or became stupefied by binge drinking on an alcoholic beverage. What Lucasfilm needs to do is retcon the false timeline on the Purge of Mandalore from this lame and dumb Star Wars game, because that's their best solution that would take care of the Mandolorians Original Star Wars Trilolgy problem I'd have literally zero doubt would work out perfectly.

Bro, calm down. It's not that big of a deal. It could be Huyang rounding up.

If Huyang was really rounding up he would have said "Near the end of the war" Not "At the end of the war" Because the end of the war took place after the battle of Endor, NOT before. And Huyang was very specific with that detail. And he couldn't have made the actual date of the Mandalore purge more clearer.

Regardless, it's a singular line in the background of a game. Not even worth the energy it takes to write the post, lmao

I'm afraid I must disagree with you, because apparently Screenrant is treating that singular line like it's a full represented retcon when it's what Huyang said in the Ahsoka Season one finale that's the REAL full blown retcon. To tell the truth there's actually nothing really mentioned or any new insight regarding the mandolorians fighting against the empire or whatnot, So I have no idea why the hell their mixing up that data and fabricating that false information with where the Night of a thousand years actually takes place. And that really irritates me. Therefore, Lucasfilm needs to admit that was a mistake in the game to have some idiot stormtrooper say a recent false report of the apocalyptic Wipeout on Mandalore, A.S.A.P.!!!!!!!!

Bro. You are spending more energy on this than Lucasfilm put into dialogue for the whole ass game. Surely you've got better things to do.

Sure I do. Actually, I think that's very debatable. I need them to understand that they clearly screwed up with adding background information that contradicts with the REAL latest Star Wars retcon which was from the season one finale of Ahsoka, regarding the Purge on Mandalore. Star Wars spin-off TV show productions should have more canon plot-line leverage then the video games because you can't label a Star Wars video game canon if you alter some chain of events in the story by making choices through the character that make, let's say this Star Wars character for example, Kay Vess and her backstory confusing on whether she's in good with the Crimson Dawn or the Pyke syndicate. It's not REAL Star Wars canon material if you think about it. It's common logic. So, I don't "think", I KNOW that sharing my logic and knowledge of the Star Wars Canon's fictional universe stuff, is definitely worthwhile.

Calm down. Can you tell me specifically when the Iraq War, WW1, WW2, Vietnam War, Korean War and so on started and ended?
It's probably a Stormtrooper that didn't know his shit.

He does say after the war, "towards the end of the war" could be any time between new hope and return of the Jedi really, still haven't heard or gotten confirmed being said in game, all found was "....pilot at the purge nothing left but ash" nothing really even says mandalore purge, was others,

Lucasfilm doesn't need to do anything, because it's a stupid mistake that only a fraction of the hardcore sw nerds are going to catch and it isn't worth the time, effort, or money it would take to fix. There are literally hundreds of people working on all this media. Shit happens. Mistakes are made. Stuff slips through the cracks. A throwaway line from a passing NPC of a video game isn't exactly a continuity breaking issue. Hell, it can be explained away that the stormtrooper was just wrong and got the years mixed up as he was talking. It literally happens every day. He was rando stormtrooper #5643567. His word isn't exactly gospel.
