It sometimes get lost when you have Teddy Bears and Jar Jar Binks. Also doesn't help that a lot of the recent Star Wars content (eg Clone Wars, Rebels, etc.) was directed at kids so the universe gets painted with a lighter brush sometimes.
Even Mon Mothma's storyline is pretty dark. Having to sell her thirteen old daughter into an arranged marriage to cover money she is funneling into the rebellion is un-Disney

That’s a wierd one because it’s played as her daughter wanting to enter the arranged marriage idea in season one as traditionalism coming back. And given that Mon offers the daughter a way out at the last minute she was willing.
The I wish you were drunk line I find hard to parse. Is she mad at her mom for not supporting her return to traditionalism and projecting her own failed marriage onto her or is she mad at her for letting it get this far.
We only have the one seen where she complains he won’t hold her hand which more suggests just immaturity.
So I find it difficult to know how to judge Montha here.
