1. I don't get the sense from their current plans that she'll be overprotective, but I get the sense that she's teetering on the edge. Her nickname, 'Mother Hen', feels like a clear give-away. Combine that with the fact that Archex wasn't given a role - I don't think he was overlooked, I think she feels she needs to protect him for some reason.
I could be reading too much into it.

2. Something told me her former boss would be like a bad penny.
*sigh

3. I'm uncertain if the intent is to lay the foundation for future Force stories - or leave the door open for them. Parts of the sequel movies left some ambiguity about the future of the Jedi and Force-wielders. I gather they are force-sensitive in the way the Guardians of the Whills are and not able to actually exert any control over it like Jedi & Sith can. At least I think Savi is, I'm not sure about Ylena.

4. It was a tough section for Vi - there's really only so much torturing a person can take. I seem to often feel this way, but I sort of just want the protagonist to have time for a proper nap. I guess in this case she did actually get some rest, so I guess I can't complain.

Zade is both delightful and heartbreaking and I think he might need a hug. Archex definitely needs a hug. Heck... they all do. I hope hugs are in the epilogue.
