D&D 5E Somehow Vecna returned....

If it's one thing you want to associate your product with, it's definitely Rise of Skywalker.

LOL. I missed that.

The premise where Alustriel, Mordenkainen, and Tasha cast a wish spell to stop Vecna but instead summon the PCs reminds me a little bit of Spider-Man: No Way Home as well.

Vecna is actually septuplets, just one of their many secrets.

And spawned a new joke across two worlds. How many wizards does it take to cast a wish spell?

It works in D&D, because D&D has always been ridiculous.

The mistake was that some people think Star Wars is deadly serious business.

i think it's more that many people don't care about the continuity of DND adventures, whereas many people do care about the continuity of star wars.

which makes sense - it's incredibly easy to ignore whatever's supposed to be canon in TTRPGs because you can just make up whatever you want regardless and that'll be your experience of the game. that doesn't really carry over to a property defined by its canon and produced by a set company, like...well, like a lot of media franchises really, but specifically star wars in this case.

that said, it wouldn't surprise me if the inherently gonzo nature of DND didn't contribute either. i just don't think it's the biggest factor.

maybe they are subtly taking the piss at Starwars.

Hey that's our job. Don't like the competition.
