The world building, or universe building, on this show is incredible. Everything feels so real and true to the original trilogy. Hard to explain but everything fits. This feels like Star Wars.

It's like the creators said, "Hey, let's not make this complicated. We have a Mandalorian on a quest in the Star Wars universe. Let's just have some fun and entertain the fans".

For me it's that simple. Just tell me a good story that takes place in the Star Wars universe. Give me awesome monsters, and aliens, and jet packs, and laser gun fights! I see some people complain that the show isn't "going anywhere". To me it's going everywhere! I want to spend as much time as I can in that galaxy far far away.

Lucas and Spielberg ate up the Saturday matinee serials - and Indiana Jones and SW movies work best when they stick to that formula (which isn't to say a Rogue One type of movie can't work)
it's one of the reasons i love the Clone Wars series with the 'old timey' intro for every episode

What!? That was the AT-AT episode that was fantastic!

Not to be 'that guy,' but that was an AT-ST.

And it seemed damn near invincible in the context of that story too, which it should be to foot soldiers (otherwise, why bother building and using the things?)

Because they look cool and sell toys!!

Yeah it's best not to get caught up in the how and the why of it. Those are the most impractical war machines ever conceived. But they look so much cooler than something on wheels/tracks or flying.

And, the AT-ST was cheaper than the AT-AT.

How can you have Katee Sackhoff in an episode of anything and not throw a pair of jeans on her?

Lol, speaking of her, here's how giddy she was about appearing in the show...

She looks so much better in this than she does in the Flash. Maybe it's the hair color.
