I mostly meant that we know who all of the actors for the original Knights were and they were all male, and also that none of them had the darksaber.
We also know that the original “actors” weren’t actors so much as stand-ins for later.
Also, no one knew that Moffat’s Gideon had the Darksaber until he pulled it out. It’s quite portable. Also, who knows, maybe she didn’t acquire it until sometime in the years between that flashback and a year after TFA/TLJ takes place.
I just feel portraying it as an impossible plot hole is a bit much.
That’s a valid point.
That said, the scripts do not make her feel like a very good villain, haha.
Probably because we don’t have the script that actually features her to determine.
Even if we had the script, she would probably still seem like a last-minute afterthought. Trevorrow has never been good at writing compelling villains, and the plot outline that was posted doesn’t feature her much at all. She shows up for the final fight, dies, and that’s her entire screen time. She feels like Darth Maul 2.0.
I’m not gonna doubt it, but it seems weird to be so definitive when we don’t have the script, only secondhand reports.
As much as I absolutely despise linking to his website, we do have a credible (but disgusting) leaker’s notes on it:
(my reluctance linking to it comes from the fact that the proprietor of Making Star Wars is an absolute creep who doesn’t deserve the clicks/traffic monetization money.
