I like it though, Its better then everyone happy with no consequences and Jar jar dancing with bounty hunters. I mean that's what bounty hunters do, shoot and stab people.

But did you see all the hairstyles? Why is every member of royalty in this galaxy a gunslinging crime solving plucky, or a currupt evildoer....

I didn't mind it to be honest, not a big on action episode, but interesting never-the-less. I hear you with the hairstyles though, it was like they changed outfits and hairstyles every other shot, I wonder if it was a comedy nod to the number of costume changes Amidala had in the live action movies?

I don't mind these slower episodes peppered through the series, acts as a nice counterbalance to the more action heavy episodes, if it was all out action all the way that would get boring too, it is good to have a change of pace either way. Besides sometimes the slower episodes offer more interesting insights into the characters, or foreshadowings of things to come.
