iSm apparantly isn't the only one who noticed, seeing as the writers felt the need to add beyond blatant exposition via R2 and 3PO (or whatever their names are) recapping why the 3-way wheel-o-melodrama scene was taking place (which, incidentally, was the point I thought needed the least explanation).

I don't know if "complicated" is the term I'd use. "Convoluted" seems more accurate. It seemed like they were so keen to create what they thought was a clever, interwoven plot that they let things like character motivation slip (save for the ex Admiral). They would have done better had they gone more staright-forward with the plot and concentrated on continuing to develop the characters, rather than have them spout one-liners.
