Partly I think we have a director, or whoever on the production team has the authority to do otherwise, who either doesn't notice that scenes that maybe seemed like they worked in the script don't quite make sense as actually staged or who just figures it doesn't matter. Maybe it was just a rushed or troubled production.And it doesn't matter quite enough to really hurt my enjoyment of the show, but it definitely takes some of the shine off my enjoyment. It also gives the toxic corner of the "fanbase" plenty of little nitpicks to hyperbolically denounce it over, not that I much care about their nonsense. It feels like giving everything another pass and paying for some reshoots really could have made it a much stronger series.It's still probably going to end up being my favorite Star Wars prequel though.</blockquote>
