Not building KoR as main antagonists behind Snokes rise to power and as obsessive cultists hellbent on resurrecting Palps (without actually succeeding, and moreover, unleashing forces more abstract, uncontrollable, and alien) is a missed opportunity I would have liked to have seen. ST sorely lacks fresh/interesting villains.

But alas, I’m just showing up to theater to enjoy the eye candy for what it is at this point. I’ve liked RO and Solo and I’m liking Mando enough that there’s nothing I needed from this trilogy. It’s useless to pine.
