Three failure modes working with AI:

1. Escalate everything → confident wrong answer
2. Council-review small calls → 40 min burned
3. Ask things AI lacks context for → generic answer

Qimir / The Stranger eventually became the first Ren and founded the Knights of Ren, reveals Leslye Headland in The Art of The Acolyte book.

“It was in the design of the character, as well as knowing that we were going to introduce Darth Plagueis, who has to end up with Palpatine as his apprentice.
