There is a difference between being too referen🔥tial and writing to the world building that has already been established. Headland chose to write for a pre-existing universe that has it's own history and rules that bind the characters in what choices they can make.

Bringing characters into a story a century𒐪 before they were born is a mistake--not a big one, but a mistake--and it's rightly labeled as one. This is not a hill I would die on, nor should anyone else when there aꦇre far greater battles to fight over the logic that holds the narrative together.

What about the single oil lamp that accidentally sets a mountain of stone and steel ablaze? How about Mae changing her primary desire multiple times in the same episode, sometimes with no explanation? A supposed Sith who can take 6 Jedi single handed, but can't fight bugs? Witches turning into Dementors from Harry Potter? A throng of mind controlling witches comically keeling over dead from...something a single Jedi did that was never explained? Shooting at Jedi with a bow and arrow? The complete collapse of time consistency in the show? Sol magically knowing that Osha was taken by Mae's master, something he 𒐪couldn't know unless he read the scr🍃ipt?

On and on and on.
