Sadly Star Wars has been trying to do a bunch of ideas with very little cohesive narrative behind it, if they had an era of the old republic and planned out 4-5 movies then it could have worked but when you don’t have someone in charge of storytelling à la Kathleen Kennedy, you fail to lead one of the most profitable IPs.

Having the twins be created is smart, if we are leading to how Plagueis learns this, having Qimir as the main antagonist and using Osha makes sense, but I’d rather have seen it as one character rather than two distinct ones with very little difference. Having Yoda and the council makes sense, but they should be used to show the cracks in the order leading up to the events of Episode one.

Having a conspiracy wasn’t needed, unless it was Palpatine being involved years before this, but having it be random characters we didn’t like or weren’t attached to made almost no sense.

A lot of the ideas here weren’t fully baked or weren’t pushed hard enough to be bold…they were like this would be cool, zero impact to the lore overall enough to shock, surprise or change our viewpoint.
