The bar is so low that they accidentally tripped over it

Rise of Skywalker: "Somehow Palpatine returned." Acolyte: Some Sith survived, but let's not tell master Yoda.
-
They made the show so diverse that they don't know who to make good or bad because of it.

Shortening out the lightsabers is actually a lore-accurate thing. HOWEVER it requires that Smilo Ren's armor to be made out of pure Cortosis, which is so ridiculously rare at this point in the timeline and so difficult to work with, that it throws up the even bigger question of the fuck he managed to get armor like that. You buy a fleet of starships for the price of that much Cortosis and it's not like just anyone can refine and work it.

"It's the Least Bad Episode So Far!" is truly the nicest possible thing that can be said about this absolute travesty of a show lmao

"Oh no, our lighstabers have been temporarily disabled ... If only we had some type of other offensive ability to use ... Some other method of attacking ... Some way to defend ourselves ... A mystical telekinetic ability that isn't shorted out by a goofy helmet ... Oh well, guess we'll die."

Giant moths watching a LIGHT saber duel of epic proportions: 'Nah, let's wait fellows...' A little bed-side white light is lit. Giant moths: 'Alright, full on attack! ATTACK!'

So, let me get this straight: Smylo Ren wanted Mae to kill the Jedi, so he himself stays hidden and to test her, but at the same time, he provided the tools for the job as Qimir, got caught on a stupid bait by the Jedi, and when Mae turned herself in, he decided to kill them himself because what, Mae might reveal his true identity even though she didn't know it? Simply brilliant writing, Leslye.

The twin stealing her twin's identity is so incredibly lame.

The tech Darth Teeth used to short out the lightsabers has been seen in Star Wars before however I still find it comical how he is headbutting the lightsabers, like what if his helmet broke earlier, he’d be dead
-
Smilo Ren's helmet was apparently made of a metal called Cortosis, which was used in comics and legends to temporarily short out lightsabers. I mean, it's cool that they did their research and put it in, but they should've researched how to make an actual decent freaking show.

Leaves all the dead Jedi lightsabers behind. General Grievous: Your light sabers will make a addition to my collection.

I can’t get beyond Sol letting the Sith, who just killed all his Jedi companions, live when he could have just ended his evil plans right there with one stroke of his lightsaber. Couldn’t he at least have sliced off his arms or legs and taken him prisoner so he wouldn’t kill anyone else? After all he already said he is a Sith and he did just sliced and dice all of your friends, Sol.

Just a reminder Darth Plagueis was alive during this time. By the time he meets a young 17 year Palpatine in school he's over a 100 years old. I'm sure the Sith would be fine with people calling themselves "sith" lords. (NOT) they went out their way to especially kill any who would take up the name. Plagueis cleans house of any gifted force users who were even willing to be dark.
-
Glad I’m not the only one annoyed that he just left the bodies there. We know the Jedi respect their dead and hold funerals as we saw it with Qui-gon
-
'Least bad' is like stubbing your toe over trapping your hand in a door. You're still gonna suffer either way.

"The Sith have been extinct for a Millennium. That means 10-years ago right? Oh I meant a decade. Sorry about that."

Giant killer bugs are attracted by the swarm to a flashlight. Super bright light sabers swirling around by the dozen, not so much.

The Expanded Universe did have a metal called Cortosis that could temporarily disrupt lightsaber functionality, but given that Disney removed the EU from canon, that removes cortosis from being canon… apparently this might be one of the “notes” Filoni provided.
