Part 8/11:
The "mystery" of the series' villain's true identity is revealed prematurely or with little impact, making attempts at suspense feel hollow. The series also relies heavily on characters pretending to have depth—such as emotionally falling apart or sharing tragic backstories—without genuine development or follow-through.
The Predictable and Frustrating Resolution
The climax involves characters continuously failing to act decisively or rationally. Instead of straightforward combat—like just stabbing the Sith in the back—they engage in overly elaborate, often pointless, fights that seem designed more for spectacle than substance.
For example:
- Characters threaten to surrender but then fight or run away, creating an inconsistent narrative tension.
