I’m up to Episode 4.
This definitely feels more Star Wars-like than the Prequels and even the new Disney trilogy at times. It has that grimy feel to it, which I like. Baby Yoda attempting to heal the Mando initially and then later revealing his Force powers with the rhino was great.
The Mandalorian himself is a great Star Wars protagonist, though I’d have preferred to not have a typical orphan origin for him. Keep it mysterious is best. But I can see now why THIS character design is so popular.
I never though Boba Fett was a big deal in the OT, and I thought Jango was just silly with him having the ability to shoot missiles, grappling hooks, gauntlet razors, etc. Why not have a buzz saw as well?
But the Mandolorian with the grey/crimson color scheme, and cape, plus the way he carries himself seems more like this intimidating death merchant than the walking swiss army knife of AOTC.
I thought the singing or stining birds upgrade was stupid. How did they know to target the storm troopers but not baby yoda?

So far I’m at the episode where they save the village from the AT-ST. This felt like a filler episode, and reminded me of The Ewok TV movie specials. Not necessarily a bad thing though.

Overall a pretty good series though, so far.
