A major problem with this new series is that nothing is subtle. It's constant throwbacks to the originals, and they are right in your face constantly. Remember that cool ship from the first series.....here it is again with a new cannon on it. Remember that cool force power....here it is again but bigger and louder. Both Johnson and Abrahms are guilty of this, and it verges on Michael Bayness.

Nothing ever seems to arise naturally from the flow of the story.

This is what makes the Mandalorian so good IMO. The tone is correct and the Star Wars elements are just there, as opposed to being front and centre.
