But conversely, I'm more interested in the show that this Boba Fett one will probably end up being than I am in any of the others save Mandalorian.
Everyone is worried about that.

Disney, however, clearly needs to start capitalizing on the massive investment they made in Star Wars. $4 billion is a lot funds to pay up front. Yes, the SW movies have grossed a lot, but if you look at opportunity costs, operating costs, and the cost of just putting $4 billion in cash up front, Disney is likely far in the hole on this one so far.

My biggest fear is that Disney focusses too much on some master plan, and overlooks what made the Mandalorian great. Disney also has a tendency to look for mass appeal, which typically means lots of quips and catch phrases to them.

So far the casting has been rock solid. That alone should hopefully keep a lot of these side projects on track.
