      Yes, and it's so obviously perceived wrong from these makers.
      The Jedi were known for people to talk to, if parents noticed something very special with their kids. These kids were ofthen seen as abominations or bad omens by many cultures, because it is a very RARE phaenomenon. The Jedi were able to examine the kids and test them for their connection with the force. They offered to take them if they showed potential to be a jedi, and this was mostly seen by the parents as the best possible future for their kids and a great honor. Because the Jedi were known to be very pure and good and always protected the weak in the galaxy.
      A thousand years of peace... Star Wars is supposed to be a fairy tail after all.

    One of the things that confuses me is how did the Jedi know that Mae started a fire? Nobody other than Mae and Osha would’ve known that. Mae didn’t get to tell anybody because her first appearance afterwards is when the mother gets stabbed, but when Osha wakes up on the ship afterwards, Sole (Idk how any of these names are spelled) tells immediately tells her that Mae started it. So did they just guess correctly that that’s what happened? Definitely just one of many nonsensical holes and convenient occurrences in this awful story.

That seemed to be her foot in the door to continue her position as show runner for at least one more year and lead to several more projects to press forward her and KK's female force/LGBTQ+ agenda farther into the future. I don't see that happening now, despite her assurances otherwise.

    6:42 My theory is that the writers got confused with who Sol was talking to at the end of Ep 6. He was talking to Mae, but he needed to be talking to Osha. Mae had seen it, and Sol thought she was dead anyway - making his 'I have thought about this for 6 years' out of synch with what he knows. Osha wasn't there to see it and she would be the one most affected by knowing that Sol killed her mother. He had also promised Osha that he would tell the truth eventually. ... The only people who fell for the old 'Identity Switch' trope were the ***king writers.

    When Trinity cuts the connection between Wookie and the Hendersons, it causes a backlash. I still can't tell if they're dead or just knocked out. Darth Mom escapes unscathed and she was the nexus of their power sharing. Either way the coven's dead, but why not do something to make clear the status of the witches like have one of the Jedi go over and confirm they are unconscious or dead. No one seemed to give a crap that twenty people collapsed inside a burning building. Just left them and took the one kid Sol could save because he didn't think to lift the girls and not the bridge parts. I don't even watch this show, only the reviews because they're more entertaining.

    ChatGPT's REVIEW, 'engaging & suitable' if the viewer is in middle-school - pretty much.. LOL
    This transcript appears to be written at a middle-school reading level. Here are some key points for this assessment:
    1. **Vocabulary**: The vocabulary used is relatively simple and straightforward, suitable for readers in middle school (grades 6-8). Words like "ascension," "vergence," and "symbionts" are more advanced but still within reach of a middle school reader, especially those familiar with the Star Wars universe.
    2. **Sentence Structure**: The sentence structures are simple and direct, with a mix of dialogue and action that keeps the reader engaged without being overly complex.
    3. **Themes and Concepts**: The themes of fear, sacrifice, and identity are accessible to younger audiences, but they also offer depth for older readers. The storyline involves family, choices, and moral dilemmas, which are common in middle-grade fiction.
    4. **Characters and Dialogue**: The characters' dialogues are straightforward and convey emotions and actions clearly, which is typical for middle school literature.
    5. **Narrative Flow**: The transcript maintains a clear narrative flow, with a focus on action and dialogue that keeps the plot moving forward in a way that is easy to follow.
    Overall, the writing is accessible, engaging, and suitable for a middle school audience while still providing some complexity in themes and vocabulary.
