We Didn’t Like: The Vagueness of Either Narrative
Like Tales of the Jedi before it, Empire tells the stories of Morgan and Barriss with a sort of vague haziness, chronologically speaking—dipping in and out of their lives across periods of time that are left undefined to the viewer. This is not necessarily a bad thing: we don’t need to know the exact date in a calendar any of these events occur at. But it does lend each story as sort of weird emotional lurch as we jump from one episode to the next, uncertain of how each character got to where they are from where they were in the episode prior.
