it just hit me earlier today but – no one knows who Honerva is. as in, no one knows that Haggar = Honerva, Zarkon’s wife and Lotor’s mother. The only people to know are Team Voltron, Lotor (who’s awol at the moment) and Lotor’s generals.
That means in that one shot of Honerva at the Kral Zera, unless Honerva reveals herself to be Haggar, all the galra are gonna be shook over an Altean Empress showing up at their ceremony to take over their empire. Even then, it’s likely they won’t believe her. That’s assuming of course, that she revealed that.
And that little detail explains so much. Why Macidus doesn’t know what happened to Haggar. In his mind, the Empress who showed up to wreck everything, wasn’t her. Honerva probably made her last decree as Haggar to the Druids to distract the BOM, who wouldn’t be trailing behind her like they did Lotor. And as such, they wouldn’t be tracing Honerva’s actions after she disappeared in s6, but also wouldn’t know bout Honerva Empress of the Alteans and the galra. Which is why, in s7ep5, Kolivan had no idea bout Haggar and their trail to the Colony was left dried.
Anyways the conclusion to this is: Honerva has massive BDE
