      Many areas where the money was wasted (covered by articles):
      1. They were building sets, props and costumes for Season 2 (yes they were that confident)
      2. Many aspects of production were overspent on. One example is the music. For the Power of Many song (which was produced into a purchasable track), Lesley insisted on hiring musicians, writers and choir singers from around the world to "reflect the diversity of the music." - So instead of hiring locally (e.g. Canada or USA, or England, wherever the music department was), they bought air tickets, fed, housed, paid support staff for talent from multiple countries, races, cultures and ages from around the world. This easily would have cost near a million (instead of say $50,000 if the song was produced using nearby local talent in a much more efficient manner).
      3. Multiple reshoots were required. THINK ABOUT THIS - the episodes we got were RESHOT after initial feedback and comments were that they were very bad. One example is that Qimir (the Asian evil Sith) was originally supposed to be revealed in Season 2, then they changed their mind and Lesley rewrote and inserted him more into Season 1.
      Lastly, each episode is only 27 minutes on average. This is AFTER you remove the intro, 'Previously on...' segments, and REALLY LONG end credits (6 minutes in some episodes!!!). Without factoring in useless scenes, duplicated flashbacks and unnecessary pauses, you are looking at over $3.3 million per minute (or $55,000 per second).

      it s interesting how the viewers are trying their best to make sense of plotpoints/events/characters and come up with really creative ideas, only to find out that showrunners simply did not think so far, didn t bother, did not care or just thought..."nah it will be okay why put in more effort"

    Jedi's Log, week seven: "After picking flowers, looking at stones and searching for old coins with a metal detector, I finally revealed our mission to my party members. I had to explain we were looking for signs of life on a dead planet, but all of the trees and plants is making it difficult. We ate some rodent bird the wookie caught while he was out looking for signs of life. He did not find any. Several large stones have what appear to be carvings on them or parts of old ruins. These are best ignored. We decided not to use any of our ships sensors to search for technology or life signs as this felt like cheating, so we will stick with the metal detectors for a few more weeks. I am however, convinced there is no intelligent life on this planet, to include my own crew."

    The plot of this episode seems to overflow with subtext about the propensity for DV in lesbian relationships. Notice how the two lead women cycle between being infatuated with each other and then suddenly are at each other's throats. And neither of them seem to put their "children" first in any actual decision they make. Oh they pay lip service to it, but their actions bely their words. I guess it really is "write what you know" for Lesley Headland.

If you go 100% with trusting feelings and destiny you yes may feel your slight concern for Osha is the Force telling you to walk into withes castle. Many christian idiots would walk into battle feeling God is protecting them....but the force DOES exist so it's literally sensible to just follow gut and be slave to the Force.. imagine if luck flowedd to whoever belived in god more and you had monk warriors running nations...

    You know what would have saved that scene with Trinity releasing the Wookie and killing the Coven? If, when she laid hands on the Wook's head, they went back into that black 'seduction room' we saw with the Padawan - this time all the Coven are there, crowded around in the shadows, whispering enticements to her. One says "Give up, there is nowhere you can go" to which Trinity responds, "But you've forgotten one thing" ('What?') - her mental form ignites her lightsaber "I'm a Jedi Master". Then you break away into however you want to depict the aftermath - I imagine to save their brittle 180 million dollar budget, it would pull back to face reactions on the meditating witches as they scream and die - butchered by Trinity in that dark place.
    That would have made the thing she'd been forced to do seem horrible and it would lay the groundwork for "kill them without a weapon" and such nonsense.

    Speaking as an uber nerd, Jedi were never dispatched on scouting missions for plant and mineral samples in any book or show that I ever saw. Furthermore in the accounting of Count Dooku's back story the temple had more Padawans then masters to train them, and one of Dooku's concerns in his youth was that he wouldn't be chosen. In the Phantom Menace when Qui-gon even mentions the Vergence in the force Mace immediately jumps to the prophecy of the chosen one so if the Jedi Council sensed a Vergence likely members of the council would have gone to investigate, and not to search for Roman coins and take botanical samples. In other words these talentless hacks have likely never even watched the Prequels much less the orginal trilogy. Any Star Wars nerd worth their midicholrians could write better fan fiction than this while they were drunk and stoned at the same time. Hell I'll bet you can find better written fanfic at ant site on the internet that even mentions Star Wars.

    Who needs to waste their money on a Disney + subscription when we have Chato filling us in on the ever intriguing yet truly nauseating Ejacolyte. The only show that can make you feel laughter, frustration, boredom, rejection, annoyance, dissatisfaction, contempt, anger, regret, confusion, and bemusement; all the while hurling into your waste bin...without having to leave your laptop screen. Genius.

    Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I mercifully have not seen a single epidose of this show. And I hope I never will.

    I'm curious to know how Disney can get actors to be in these SW shows after so many out and out failures. They must be offering a lot of money.

      Agents would be getting burned at the stake after this, and should be. I'm sure plenty of that $180M went into overpaying for a lot of the mediocre cast but also tricking the few genuine actors into signing on as well.

      Well, that 180M sure didn't go to costumes, sets, props, models, CGI, or writers... so skimming a little of the grift to overpay actors is not out of the question.
