Yeah, I personally like that it feels like a live-action version of a Dave Filoni animated Star Wars show, which seems intentional since Filoni is one of the showrunners. But I understand why someone might not like that.
Ditto. I’d personally be fine with all future SW shows, both live action and animated, being Filoni-esque. If it gets too dark, I personally would find it strange. My brother keeps half-joking that he wants aN R-rated SW show/movie, and even if that was possible, it would just feel off IMO. RO was to me the right amount of edgy and dark while still being SW. I don’t think it could go too much further than that. And Mando struck a good balance. Though I hope the Cassian and Kenobi series avoids any baby Yoda-like things to “balance” things out (though it works really well for Mando).
