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.

I agree. Part of what does that is the "Western/WW II" angle just feels far more lived in. When they go full space wizard, the sets turn from real desserts into CGI space buildings. You also lose the feeling of real people living and working in a real world. Instead you get a philosophical discussion about how mitochlorians impact the galactic senate followed by light sabers spinning in the air.
