Part 5/12:
A recurring theme in the critique is the series’ questionable plot decisions—particularly character choices that seem forced and inconsistent with established personalities. For example, Ahsoka's decision to surrender the star map to Bal and Shin Skerrin in episode 4 feels abrupt, lacking emotional build-up. Such moments come across as lazy plot devices rather than natural story progressions.
Filoni's approach often appears to prioritize propelling the plot over respecting character logic. Sabine’s decision to hand over the star map, for instance, could have been more compelling if shown through her internal conflict—like haunting visions of Ezra in danger or feelings of failure—making her actions feel authentic rather than convenient.
