Yeah, I have watched enough anime to understand that I probably saw several seasons worth of anime go by in a flash. There are plenty of gaps, but I think I was able to grasp the broad strokes of how things played out. I don’t know some of the characters. Like that Lady they kept talking about (I assume the one with a veil) and then her brother(?). Also several other important figures that seemed to have some kind of factional infighting over the direction of the war strategy. I wasn’t able to really get much more of a picture than “some power struggles took place internally during the war” and then Char saved the moon and went awol, leaving his Mav, the green-haired guy, chasing down the ghost of every rumor of Char’s return.
…or something like that. I am writing this specifically from memory instead of looking anything up to try to convey what stuck in my brain.

That lady and her family are the Zabi family. They make up the Zeon leadership. Degwin is the father, and the leader of The Duchy of Zeon. I missed whether anything happened to him in this episode to change that. His kids are Ghiren, Garma (stated in this episode to have quit the military), Dozle (stated to have died in battle), and Kycilia (the lady with the veil).
These were all important characters in the original, so I’m curious to see what happens with them this time 'round.
I’m not sure they’re going to be more than background characters, especially if GQX is only going to be 12 episodes. There’s, like, a LOT they can do with this alternate timeline, and so far that have my total attention. But with a limited runtime, it’s probably better to focus on the new characters (I’m counting Challia as new here) and tell their story.

Seems like you got the general picture.

Oh god I didn’t know it’s only 12 is that confirmed?
I’m just repeating what I’ve heard, I’m not sure what the original source was.
True, it doesn’t feel like enough time to actually do much.
