Because in the books that are now non-canon, Palpatine came back as a young clone and turned Luke to the dark side essentially making everything that Anakin did useless. So no matter what, Anakin's initial defeat of Palpatine means nothing. Only at least the canon version has him as all of the Jedi helping Rey deliver the final blow to the Emperor. That was the whole point of the continuity reboot, though. To start afresh, to not retread old ground for a cheap buck. But more importatnly...that Palpatine was a Clone. This one was not. THAT is the difference. In the non-canon, Anakin was successful, and it took a clone for Palpatine to come back. In the true canon, there was no clone, and Anakin never killed anyone.

This entire damn trilogy could have rectified the mistakes of both parties, but of course in true JJ Abrams fashion, it did not. Chase McFly wrote: Why did a forum about Crisis turn into Star Wars? Yeah, let's not go too deep anymore.
