Alessandra and Josephine would definitely rank high on my list as well. Heidi, Tyra, and Alessandra were my favorites, with some of the newer Angels like Josephine, Jasmine, Taylor, and Sara also making the list.
And especially when it's a part of a series that is very much reliant on the plots of the various films forming one overarching plotline. Makes no sense whatsoever.
I never understood the Palpatine thing either. Came entirely out of left field with absolutely no set up and didn't make any sense with the story that they were telling. Also didn't help that the trilogy was set up with essentially a remake of the original film and with no overarching plan in place, which allowed TLJ to end some of the threads that had begun in the previous film.
The whole sequel trilogy, much like the prequels, were rather disappointing.
