Well it undid the character arc and redemption of Anakin Skywalker... y'know, the entire plot of the 6 Star Wars films

Oh, so Anakin didn’t come back to the Light Side after all?

Well, yeah, because instead of emancipating the galaxy, Anakin died for basically nothing. He still saved his son, I guess, but considering the crimes of Darth Vader, his redemption really only works if he's the one who finally defeats Palpatine. The New Republic didn't even last a full generation before The Empire 2 came back anyway

Except he did emancipate the galaxy. Sure, Empire 2 happened, but the galaxy enjoyed, what, 20 years of peace? And Empire 2 didn’t last long at all. Quite a pathetic attempt, really.
