A bit of a problem seeing as they are trying to pad out a thin-by-deliberate-design world that they've decided to get rid of the proper bit of depth in it.

Of course that goes back to the thing which is compelling and funny about this project, which it essentially runs on the Disco Stu logic of 'every extra minute of Harry Potter makes us more money!'

I remember reading somewhere that one of the chief tensions in the Star Wars IP is that 'Lightsabers are the best-selling toy, we need more' and 'there was a genocide in our plotline of people that owned lightsabers'.

In 1983 we knew there were between 1-2 Jedi left depending on what you thought might happen to Leia. In 2005 we found out what happened to the others. From 2013 onwards there are hundreds of the bastards, you trip over a Jedi in every one-bantha desert town

”The Jedi were a jaded, atrophied, myopic institution that utterly failed to defend the republic against the rise of evil. Doesn’t that sound like a great Halloween costume, Timmy?“

Sure, it's great business for the actors, the designers, for basically everyone who gets paid upfront. It's bad business for WB-HBO.

like surely the star wars sequel trilogy trope of "using your fantasy world to say something extremely basic about contemporary white radicalisation to score media points" was there for them

cast someone who looks like Stephen Miller as snape? Have someone talk about "putting wizardkind first"? It wouldn't be good but it's something

I do like how basically, it's a really hard project that at every stage it feels like they've gone 'no, we'll do this the hardest possible way'.
