also glad to know the bad stuff is mostly behind me. I was afraid the whole of season 1 would be like that.

To be clear, most of the seasons have a couple subpar episodes (usually the Senate and/or Force-as-spiritualism episodes; I think one of the Filoni interviews said George Lucas insisted each season have at least one of each?); but they're still better executed than the beginning of season 1.

That sort of makes sense, but I feel this would have come up in Revenge of the Sith, then.

Don't know what to tell you...There are a lot of things that should have come up in Revenge of the Sith, and a lot of things that weren't established until after Revenge of the Sith.

... maybe do yourself a favour and skip the Jar-Jar episodes (which are admittedly rare).

I disagree; the later Jar-Jar episodes, that portray him as sort of an "idiot savant" instead of just an idiot, are fairly good....And making Jar-Jar look more than tolerable is an accomplishment worth seeing.
