Agreed on everything, in particular that I was 100% against tying this series into the Skywalkers in any way, but was still fine with the finale.

I feel like if the series is "about" anything, it's about giving some fans of the original trilogy the same feeling we had when playing with our Star Wars toys. But plot-wise, they've been repeating this idea of "what does it mean to be Mandalorian." They're set up to build on that idea, by having a foundling in possession of the sword that marks the ruler of Mandalore, but as we both said, I don't think that as a concept gets anybody really super-excited except maybe Dave Filoni.

Since the Boba Fett series is going to be a separate thing, they've confirmed, I'm back to being a little bit worried that we're going to get over-saturated with mediocre Star Wars content again. I thought they'd learned their lesson from trying to have a movie out every year that got diminishing returns each time. For now I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, though, since they seem to be leaning towards the Marvel model (give show runners flexibility to make their take unique) instead of the previous model (hire a variety of directors and then fire them when they try to make their take unique).
