Space Western with a hint of space wizardry, that's the Mandalorian. WWII in space with a hint of space wizardry, that's Rogue One.
WWII in space with space cowboys and space wizards with laser swords, that's ANH and ESB.
Full on space wizardry with laser swords, that's the prequels and sequels.

in one of the Mandalorian behind the scenes episodes, they make an important distinction between building the new show on top of the old school serials that George grew up with, versus building on top of the existing Star Wars materials that themselves were already one level removed from the classic westerns and WW2 footage.
luckily for us they chose option #1 which is why Mandalorian feels appropriately respectful and nostalgic without crossing over into obnoxious or repetitive. always make a photocopy from the original, not from another photocopy.
