Who is who? and Who really cares> Overly drawn out and hard to watch

There are some really great elements in this show, but the plot is just honestly confusing and painful to watch unfold at a glacial pace.

It may have worked as a one episode side quest.

I think strangely this has some of the best TV Star Wars scenes with dreadful writing and just absurdly dumb Jedi.

The two little girls are so uninteresting to carry the whole series, nobody even knows who is who and neither do I. I am sick of seeing them.

I don't find the plot confusing as pretty much nothing has really happened over the course of seven (two flashback) episodes.

Given they're about 30 mins each, it's only about four hours of content. A bit of trimming and this may have worked better as a film. Although, I guess the two angled flashbacks, worked better in separate episodes...

But maybe that second flashback could have been shown in an episode 2 of a Darth Plagueis trilogy, if they'd gone that way.
