    Another funny thing to pick apart from this show,

    During the Jedi visit to the tribe, which honestly feels like a liberal depiction of a police raid (ostensibly non-violent, just unwelcome and intrusive), the kids have an argument with each other. This tribe, that is depicted as social outcasts hiding on a remote planet to stay off of the Jedi Order’s radar, somehow raises one twin (Osha) to be a total Jedi bootlicker, while her sister has the complete opposite attitude. I actually burst out laughing when child Osha blurts out “The Jedi are good!” What?? Her entire family and everyone she’s ever known since birth seems, at best, extremely distrustful of the Jedi! We’re given no snippet or anything like she read stories or something about Jedi doing heroic acts or whatever. She just inherently loves the Jedi for some reason, because the writers wanted to do a “one twin is drawn towards the light, the other darkness.” It’s such shitty, lazy writing.
