Small gripe with the show

This is a pretty minor complaint, and didn't harm my experience too much, but I'd still like to share. I think it felt more significant just due to how good everything else was. So, something I've seen praised constantly about the show is it's independence from the rest of the series, how it has it's own set of characters, shows us new worlds and situations, and how the characters it does use weren't iconic or anything. No real Jedi, Sith, lightsabers, Skywalkers and etc. I generally appreciate this about the show, it helps build the universe further while also making it more believable. However, i think it might've gone too far, because there's someone who we should've seen: the Emperor. I already thought this in season one where his legislation, decisions and intentions were significant to the main conflict, but back then it was more of a personal wish, and not seeing had it's own benefits, it made him feel larger, and let us experience his influence how most people in the galaxy would. But by season 2, I began to seriously feel that he was lacking from the show due to one scene: Mon's speech. I mean one of the most important parts of the scene is Mon's bravery, in challenging and accusing the Emperor right at the heart of the Empire. The type of bravery politicians need, to stand against what's wrong, publicly, clearly and without holding back. And yet, despite the scene seeking to emphasize her bravery, the Emperor she's supposed to be openly defying and IS ACCUSED BY NAME... isn't there. And the only explanation i can think of is a cynical one, shame. A depressing lack of confidence, Gilroy believing that he simply couldn't put in one of the franchise's biggest characters and have him taken seriously. Because he's just too ridiculous. And that lack of faith in the source material is just saddening.

Anyone else wishing we got to see more of Saw Gerrera?

I can’t be the only one who was hoping for more Gerrera content. Forest Whitaker is beyond excellent
