Much like the Lucas with the OT, apparently the writers of the ST are making things up as they go. But since these are different people, I’m getting the feeling that the ST is a little bit directionless, more so than the OT, or the PT for that matter. (Even though the PT shouldn’t count - it was all Lucas and yeah)

I really hope we don’t get another “Leia! Leia’s my sister!” Moment.
