Mass Effect is one of those sci-fi series with only one fictional technology, and a whole lot of development on that, and on the stories that enables them to tell. And that fictional technology is the mass effect. In Mass Effect there's a fictional element called element 0, or eezo, that humans found out in space. Eezo can alter the mass of other objects when electrically stimulated. Eezo can give a spaceship negative mass and enable faster than light travel. It can reduce the mass of a bullet to almost zero as it's fired from the chamber of a gun, and return it to normal going at an extreme speed. It enables artificial gravity. Humans who are exposed to eezo can gain telekinetic powers. There's a community of aliens out there, and they also use eezo in their technology. There's a ton of politics, philosophical commentary, and secrets out in the galactic community and its history.

I have excellent colour vision but I still struggle with this because it's hard to remember which shade of green is which when flipping between the map and the legend

8 didn't do any retcons. A retcon would be "actually Snoke isn't the main villain, he's just a clone created by Palpatine." 8 was perfectly happy to play nice with all the facts established in 7, and then have Ben kill Snoke as the first dramatic climax of the movie. 8 gets to have two dramatic climaxes because Rian Johnson is a brilliant filmmaker.
Well it didn't "undo" anything in 8, it just undercut and betrayed its core themes. That doesn't erase 8, it just spits in 8's face.
It's impossible for 8 to have undercut 7's core themes, because 7 doesn't have any.
Snoke wasn't set up to serve as villain for three films. He was set up to serve for two films, same as the emperor. You're just salty that your fantheory didn't come true.
So, you also maintain that 6 undid 5 by killing off the Emperor, right?
Name one thing 8 undid from 7.
It means she's transitioning femmewards. She wouldn't call herself something she hates being, now, would she?
