How can they say "A Jedi only pulls their weapon when they are prepared to kill," and in the same episode, have one pull out their lightsaber to be a fucking flashlight??
They try to sound profound and cryptic in their scripting, and completely forget everything they wrote immediately.
After twelve rounds of rewrites and reshoots and focus groups that modern $250M production budget movies go through now, you gotta release something eventually. So they cobble together some of the least bad footage and hope for the best. It's a hot mess of corporate diarrhea, with no respect for the art of filmmaking.

You'd think they'd be embarrassed
It's happening extremely often in current media, but probably Disney Star Wars the most. But if you need another huge example- Rebel Moon part 2:
Bad guy to subordinate- "We must go back, the Scargiver is there!!"
Subordinate to guy acting as good guy's mole- "We are returning to claim our tax yield of grain." (Obviously a cover story excuse)
ALL bad guys for the rest of the movie- "We're here to take your grain! ... What Scargiver?"
They literally forget what they wrote just scenes before.
