I don't expect them to retcon their entire story out. They are "artists" after all, and part of that is expressing yourself. I'd be disappointed if they were so jaded that their own creative juices meant nothing. Even though I didn't really dig the ending, I respect that they had their own reasoning for doing it that way

There was a reddit post by one of the writers that later got deleted (presumably so he could keep his job) where he said that the producer and one other guy basically came up with the ending on their own and told the team to implement it without any input or feedback. They had to go back and retroactively insert starkid into the beginning so that any part of it could make sense. Yes its a creation by Bioware and it has some artistic value but if look at the quality of the series then I suspect some idiot dreamed this up and overruled the others.
