ESB and Mandalorian are very high standards IMO. Between those two, there was lots of high quality stuff, just not to the standard of those two, but what percentage of media is to that standard? Rogue One for example is great, but not as good as ESB.
We really needed to have things fall to the lows of the new trilogy to finally get something like the Mandalorian going. Without Kennedy falling on her face with TLJ, she would have mucked up all future SW projects. Without having TLJ horribly fail in the way it did, there's no way Disney would have given Favreau free reign to make the Mandalorian the way he wanted to.
