My biggest issue with the Disney era Star Wars is how we as viewers are constantly being hit over the head about how they must stand against the bad guys, it comes off as preachy, patronizing and a bit sanctimonious, though I would argue TCW set the trend through its depiction of Padmé. Thankfully The Mandalorian has largely avoided this and sure, they come into conflict with what’s left of the Empire, but there’s no preachy speeches which have become so commonplace during the Disney era.

Look at the OT. The Empire is evil and must be fought, but at no point do we have preachy lectures.

I’m sorry but I find such overt preachiness to be a real turn-off and they make me feel like I’m being talked down to.
