I'm just gonna interject with something I posted elsewhere that's apropos to the conversation.

Ironically, I actually think Wuk could be saved, but a competent writer that cares about the story, lore, and understands how to write characters needs to be at the helm. In a way, she reminds me of Ahsoka Tano. Everyone hated Ahsoka when the Clone Wars movie was released, but she slowly grew on everyone as her character was developed to becoming a fan favorite. But that appeal was earned, and was the result of a mostly planned arc Ahsoka went through.

Hiroi needs to be let go or tossed back into the sidequest rubber room where he can't do anymore serious damage and we need someone like Ishikawa guiding the story and characters.
