The point of seeing the parents is because we have vibes that something is wrong with this planet's society. They believe the Old Republic is still around, but the Supervisor doesn't allow contact for the protection of society from outside dangers. We saw in the trailer Fara sending a message, but the people watching it aren't the kids! But how she gets to send a message wasn't known from the start. It remains to be seen if their "Great Work" could be of benefit to the New Republic, or it's just busy work they've been tricked into doing for 1000 years, or even (as some people think) a social experiment that succeeded while the other 8 failed from within. Also we need to know if the parents are just drones, (even Fara who is high up) doing what they are told or are capable of independent actions that might have some benefit or bearing on the plight of their kids. It looks like Neel's parents are taking charge and working a plan to send the message, while Wim's father nearly fumbled his task. I'd been hoping the kids had more agency in what's happening to them, but they're being portrayed as incompetent suburbanites. I mean, if they'd learned conflict-resolution in school as part of a stable 1000-year-old society, then they might have negotiated peace between the tribes on At Achrann, so they could have accomplished something.
I’m well aware of the WHY, thank you very much. That doesn’t change the fact it’s been the worst part of the show and every performance is dryer than the Sahara when they’re on screen. Not to mention SM-33 is a far more entertaining, and efficient, vessel to roll out the mystery of these planets.

Nice video but you got a few plot points wrong in this episode
