I think The Mandalorian finally disproves the myth that Star Wars fans are impossible to please. The reaction to the show so far has been overwhelmingly positive. Even the small minority of people who don’t like the show aren’t angry about it.
I would say it proves the theory that many have had for awhile, which is that the only way to not make SW fans angry is to not play with the preexisting characters/story at all. To that end, let’s check back in five or so years from now and see if everyone agrees on the quality of the Mandalorian’s final season.
Make a small-scale TV show that respects the canon and makes the audience care about the characters, and fans will eat it up.
The irony of course being that the show arguably disrespects the canon quite a bit in its treatment of Mandalorian culture.
Also, I have a few friends who are haters. They definitely exist. But who cares if there are haters? Like what you like.
