Volume 1 fucking had it all. Jedi master Luke. Great enemy (imperial remnant) that address obvious questions about the galaxy after ROTJ. Leia is even the main character, and Han gets a bitchy black gf without any of it feeling forced. Why didn't they just adapt this shit?

It's common practice when there's new management in an established IP or product that any material not published by the new owners is quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) disposed of and these new managers and writers will create and substitute their own content.

For all we know they'd appreciate (and appropriate) good work but if they can't easily attach their names to it then they won't use it. It's all about who gets the credit and justifying their jobs, massive egos, and reputation.

Makes sense, they're running a business first and foremost.

Evil can't create. Not even adapt, apparently.
