You know what, After a few re-watches I think I’ve been a bit too harsh. I see what they were going for, a fast-paced Saturday morning serial feel, and for that I think it worked ok. I had my expectations up for something more grand, dramatic and mythical on Tython especially after how it was set up in the Ashoka episode.
About Tython, was it not an ice planet in the deep core in the Dr Aphra comics? Here it’s in the Outer-Rim. Seems to be a contradiction there.
