That one prisoner that Osha saved:

The premise of an evil doppelgänger framing the main character for murders seems trite to me, like an idea that was out of an ‘80s B-film. The One-Punch Man clad Jedi also seem to be making the worst plans for the sake of dragging out the plot, ex. sending in Osha alone to talk to the apothecary guy (whom they at the time didn’t know was unaware that Osha was alive), or somehow taking a long route and slow walk to the meditating Jedi even though they knew exactly where he was, or not sealing off the open roof above the meditating Jedi after he was attacked, or not using the stun gun on Mae during the attempted arrest. There were a few other nitpicks that I had.

The meditating Jedi was cool, though it feels like we needed more background on him. Sol is interesting, and I wonder why he claimed that he saw Mae die. I’d like further depth on Osha’s character, like her showing what makes her tick and what her aims are, rather than just pulling her through situations; her looking back to save the prisoner is a good example of what can help an audience understand a character’s personality, and her frustrated and crafty reaction to having to improvise surviving the landing is a good example of showing her skills and assets. I hope this series allows the characters to express their personalities more, rather than just be pushed from A to B by episodic plot. I’m not familiar with this era of the galaxy, so I look forward to further explanation within the show as to what sets the Jedi and High Republic government apart from how they are in the Prequel Trilogy.

To answer your last question: If you think of the Prequel Jedi like the English royals of the last few hundred years, think of the High Republic Jedi as King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The Jedi at this time are at their peak. They are doing the most good, and in the eyes of the people, they are the best they ever were.

As for the government, the Republic is expanding and trying to incorporate more of the outer rim territories. There aren’t major corporations sitting on the senate, and the government is also at its peak.

Also, I totally thought the prisoner was Glenn Howerton until the parasite was removed.

CorSec is probably short for Corporate Sector... so... uhm. something to think about.

When Osha took the shortcut to the guys room. 🤔

Like in Obi-Wan when Reva took the shortcut to the end of the tunnel

They just like to show guests the courtyard, no matter where in the temple they are heading.

It's not a plothole if it's wormhole.
