I agree with some of your points, but I have to disagree on the Jedi Order's portrayal--I love it. It feels so in line with what we got in the prequels, that this is the organization that became the failed order that couldn't stop Palpatine, that was corrupted by the Jedi not following their own code, and this is one example of how they got there (which I feel Ki Adi Mundi's inclusion further cements.
But this is 200 years before the fall. We're supposed to see how the Jedi lost their way. This is just a bunch of incompetent assholes with authority. The witches call them kidnappers and they barely deny it while nearly embodying it. Where's the honor? Where's the mysticism? Why must we continually suffer this bag of dicks while being told 'this is what they were always supposed to be.'
Look at the Roman Empire. Did it fall overnight? We have tons of stories about the great things they did. Wasn't there also shitty stuff happening?
So many of the recent stories have made the universe more real. I like that. Sorry if you don't.
To be pedantic, it’s 132 BBY. So 115 years before the fall.
