Star Wars as a franchise is like a major or rather the CASE of "lore bloat", especially since even in legends things contradict or do not fit (thematically or otherwise). In all long running franchise there is this symptom (especially if not pedantically vetted), alongside the "special inflation" aka when objects/cultures/powers/traits who are considered extremely rare or a "big deal" suddenly appear in every instalment. In Star Wars case it is the whole another story where the protag or important side-character is a "Jedi that survived Order 66", even worse when they constantly make characters that previously died in Order 66 survive it (Shaak Ti (my personal exception), Jocasta Nu, Barriss Offee, Luminara Unduli, etc...) like that devalues the event quite a lot.
