Because this doesn't just happen in the movie once, and in both cases it's utterly bizarre in the context of what we have been told thus far about the characters. I mean, at least Tanis and Kitiara have a history, so that their relationship makes some sense.   More to the point, as abysmally bad as the Holiday Special was and is, it doesn't undermine the integrity of the original trilogy. It might undermine the integrity of the actors that appeared in it, but it doesn't attack the basic story.TFA/TLJ belong in the netherworld of works that actively undermine what made a good work of art good, alongside almost everything in the Potterverse since the conclusion of the original stories (particularly 'Cursed Child'), Tolkien's decision to try to completely rewrite his foundation myths in the midst of writing the Silmarillion, Orson Scott Card's rewrite of 'Ender's Game' in 'Ender's Shadow', and Lucas himself tinkering with his original classics with the various 'Special Edition' edits. But in most of those cases, you have an author questioning themselves and attacking the integrity of their original works.  In the TFA/TLJ case, you have another author undermining the integrity of another author's work.</blockquote>
