What makes me the happiest is that the excuse "don't judge before the whole show is out, everything will be cleared and tied with a bow at the end" - is falling apart. As it did in Ahsoka and Kenobi ... Lesley just didn't have a story. She has said somewhere that she had put "many hours in ironing this script out" ... if she measures time spent writing this script in "hours", not days or weeks ... in a four-year production costing 180 million dollars ... this is evident enough.

@jxchamb The guy is visibly uncomfortable from all the mental gymnastics. The cognitive dissonance must be terrible for the people trying to cling on to this show as if it's been worth their time. I commented that I bet 1,000 credits Headland is just offscreen pointing a blaster as Alex, but I'm pretty sure they've got blocked or something where my comments don't show. Can't imagine why haha. But there are lots of people saying they are disappointed & those comments are getting a good amount of likes. Unless there's some sort of miracle, I don't know how anyone is going to defend this thing. "You haven't seen the whole story so you can't criticize it" ... that argument will be null & void in another week.

[@yagamifire7861]

The witches were dark siders. They should not be entrusted with children to warp. The Jedi were idiots but right

[@jefrysax]

Lesley needed to write the story from the point of view of the Sith, how they schemed, how they operated under the radar, how they recruited and in the context of this they could have shown us how the Jedi operate, what is their role in the High republic society and some back alley interaction between the two groups for some spice and that is ... simple, clear and easy ... for a person who has any real interest in the Story of the Galaxy far away.

Keeps the team out looking for a Vergence for months, team starts to fray, doesn't sense the dark side, offers inappropriate advice, doesn't isolate and counsel Torbin and Kelnacca, then agrees to the cover-up. JFC. As team leader she should have high-tailed back to Coruscant and cleaned house. THAT is how effective command structures renew and sustain. Indara's first decision to declare intentions should have been when Torbin was possessed. That's the first signal, strike hard, take out Horny Mother, rescue the kids, leave. Simple, clear, objectives.

[@persephone342]

Okay, Has anyone here ever seen TV? (The Vampire Diaries) If not, I doubt you’ll care if I spoil it. In TVD, there was a certain coven of witches, male and female, that are called the Gemini Coven. The Gemini Coven has this ritual called the Merge. When twins are born in this coven, they are thought to be the future leaders of their coven. The Merge is a ceremony where the twins recite a similar phrase about being two but always one. The twins then place their palms to each others, their eyes go white, and their bodies fall to the ground. The person that wakes up is the leader of the Coven, and their twins soul merges with the winning twins soul, but the losing twin dies. If the leader of the Gemeni Coven does, the entire coven dies. This Coven also has what are called “heretics” because they had to siphon magic from other magical beings and objects, since they were born without any magic of their own. Heretics were cast out of the Coven because the coven feared them and saw them as an abomination. These Heretics can become Vampire with the ability to siphon the magic of vampirism inside of their own blood. No other vampires can cast magic, even if they were witches when they were alive. Now tell me if this sounds like somebody was watching the CW Vampire Diaries and saw this Coven and decided, “YASS!!”

George Lucas - "Run your life in a very selfish way and you think you're doing good when you're actually not and at the same time it's you know, how do democracies turn back into dictatorships, why do people who have the power to have the freedom turn it over to somebody who's going to take it all away from them, it's happened through history forever and ever and all Star Wars is a way of updating that idea to say watch out because there are people out there who don't play by the rules and if you're not careful you're going to lose all your freedom and at the same time those people who may not play by rules because they're selfish and greedy turn themselves into evil people who don't care about other people."
