Something seems to have Robert quite miffed as he's unleashed a tweetstorm of rage about a variety of topics.
First topic he's miffed about is Star Wars. Disney released an explanation for why the Emperor was in episode 9 and by doing so they have debunked all valid criticism of TLJ in Robert's small mind.
I'm gonna skip the politisperging because dear lord there's far too much to go into there, so I'm just gonna focus on the part I know better: talking endlessly about Star Wars.
So I'm trying to work out Bobby's argument here. He seems to be saying that you can't complain about Disney having to go back and explain all the massive plot holes in Plan IX if you also complained that they didn't explain enough in TLJ and have to do the exact same thing? As if that weren't even more valid now that we've had two movies in this trilogy that didn't do the basic work of actually giving you enough information to understand what the fuck was going on. He then tries to relate this to the old EU filling in the gaps in the original/prequel trilogies and claim that Disney's doing the exact same thing. He tops this all off with a dismissal of basically all criticism of TLJ as sexist, for some reason.
Here's the difference, Robert: the older trilogies
stood alone as their own works. You can watch either trilogy, or in fact all six movies together, and have enough background to understand what's happening. You didn't need to know exactly how the plans for the Death Star were stolen, you could just accept that a covert mission managed to find the info and get it to Leia and the Rebellion. The old EU was supplemental material on a lower canonical level, adding flavor to the story and extending it beyond what the movies showed. Nothing in the old EU was necessary to understand the movies.
In Disney Wars,
everything is required to figure out what the fuck is going on in their trilogy. Because they were written with no plan whatsoever, there's tons of contradictory info throughout the movies, when they're not just flat-out cockblocking you from necessary info (Orange Yoda telling Rey that how she got Luke's lightsaber is "a story for another time" being an obvious example). The movies fail to answer even the most basic shit, like how the fuck the New Republic ended up so impotent that the Empire wanna-bes manage to steamroll them without breaking a sweat. So it falls to their new EU to pick up the slack, but even then there's no coordination between the dozens of authors working on Star Wars projects, so it's still a hopeless, contradictory mess.
Palpatine being back after we last saw him falling into a reactor core before the second Death Star was blown to smithereens was a gigantic plot hole that the movie completely glossed over. There's so much about this new explanation that's hilarious. For one, they
already had another explanation that they tried to foist on people that didn't make a goddamn lick of sense: apparently, the Sith cultists managed to track down every single piece of Palpatine's exploded/vaporized body and put them all together with Sith alchemy. Yep, the galaxy's toughest jigsaw puzzle, solve it and you get your own Sheev!
But this new explanation is even funnier for two reasons. The first is that if Plan IX Palpy is a clone, why the fuck is he an old and decrepit geezer instead of young and healthy, like in Dark Empire, the old comic book series with Palpatine clones? And that brings me to the second reason this is fucking hysterical: they basically admitted to ripping off Dark Empire! The comic is somewhat controversial for bringing back Palpy even in clone form, and it was often brought up as a reason why axing the old EU was a good thing, like, "well now that Disney's in charge we can forget about all this nonsense!" And then they went and did it
again!
In short: Robert, you're a fat diabetic fuck who can't even do your supposed job right. If you honestly don't see any problems with the writing of Disney Wars, then you're clearly either blind or retarded.

I'm just glad Bob was there to make sure that knock off woman doesn't do anything drastic.
