Notice the key difference between the ST and Mandalorian which many have said feels more authentically SW is that its not so intently focused on injecting heart and warm fuzzies into the story and characters. You have cute aliens for that. It focuses on badass, morally grey characters duking it out for personal gain in a merciless and dangerous universe. An episodic space western. None of that describes the sequels. Essentially Har(rey) Potter in space with a big budget riding on nostalgia fuel.

I think that people forget that for a long time, past ROTJ, the premise was anyone could be trained to use the Force. We saw it in Dark Empire where the loss of the Jedi meant that nobody really knew how to train people to use the Force, and Palpatine could literally zap the Force into his evil doing advisors. It was a degree of how strong you were in your connection to the force.
I liked the concept in the ST that only certain people could be trained to use the force and some had a more powerful connection then the others. The parasites in your blood was a clumsy was to quantify it.
The other thing that I really liked was the visuals of the galaxy, in the ST trilogy everything was pretty and colorful and had chrome in it and the dress was elaborate. The Galaxy in the OT was grey and color less and everything had a worn down look to it. There was a distinct visualization in the ST. But I love the idea in the OT that the galaxy was a pretty grim place, and the logical connection is in the ST without the order of the Empire no matter how evil they were their intention of bringing Order to the galaxy wasn't really a bad idea. Realically in the ST, it should have been complete anarchy in the galaxy and civil wars everywhere. That's why I like the Mando series, because you get a sense that especially on the outer ring, its complete anarchy, with no ruling power. We've heard nothing about the government that's stepped in period, which is great.
