Retcons - good, bad, ugly...

It has. Back to retcons, people. That topic doesn't need to be discussed here.

I like it.

 

Actually someone else posted it several months back, I just swiped it as it was too good to lose. So credit goes to some other guy.

 

Though currently seated, I stand corrected.

 

I hate the new Super-class retcon. I preferred the old one where Super-class and Executor-class were two very similar but distinct classes.

 

They never were.

 

Except from 1987 - 2005/6.

 

No, they weren't. The "two classes" approach was and always has been a fan retcon.

 

But there was an Executor at 8 km (1987) and a Super-class at ~12 km (12.0 - 12.8) (~1996?), so there were clearly two classes een if not outright stated.

 

No, there was only one class, just with updated lengths and designations over the years. Executor was once an 8 km "Super-class Star Destroyer," same as all the rest; now they're all 19 km Executor-class Star Dreadnaughts. Fans speculated after the Executor was bumped up in length that there were two separate classes, but that's been proven to not be the case.

EDIT: Grammar.
