And pointing fingers at how things needed extra help for sharpening in the past just disapproves your point further. Because OBVIOUSLY this script wasn’t gone over with a fine comb to flesh out the logistical details.

This especially bugs me because this is the excuse I most see coming from the writers about how the things they did actually added needed context or explained things better, when none of what they did in this show accomplished that? We didn’t need an entire series to explain how Leia knew Obi-Wan, the implication that she learned of him through her father was enough without adding a confusing side story in the mix. We didn’t need Obi-Wan and Vader to fight in between Episode III and IV just to justify where he started calling him “Darth,” it wasn’t necessary.

And the thing is I’m not even saying it’s impossible to do a show like this and make it work; they COULD HAVE still done these things if they were much more careful with how they wrote this show, but they weren’t. For being LucasFilm’s crown jewel this year, this show was extremely sloppy in basically every area.
