You forgot that they routinely lose engineers due to a stunning lack of safety features. (No hand rails, super lasers going down a hallway past exposed people on a thin ledge. Trash compactors with no sensors to protect people that fall in).
It really is amazing how many gigantic chasms the Empire built all over with little to no safety features. Maybe it was an issue of all the good engineers falling into those chasms early in the process. Since then the shelf-life of an engineer has never been long enough for them to gain enough experience to build the safety features?
It's also strange that after being hit with blaster fire that so many Imperial Troops always seem to go limp and fall forwards into the direction of the chasm. You'd assume that simple physics would dictate that if you were standing with your front facing a chasm, being shot in the chest would push you backwards and away from the chasm. Weird.

One of the most fun things in Jedi Outcastswas when you got strong force push and force grab powers was to be able to push Imperials into those pits so they fell screaming to their deaths. Or picking them up, slowly moving them over the pits, savoring their terror and letting them go.

- "Why do we have all these Chasms anyways?"
"Comrade Stormtroopers....the Empire has a very limited Janitorial Budget and Mouse Droids are notoriously poor at removing bodies...if you are shot and killed please be kind enough to deposit your Corpse in the convenient State Supplied Chasms so that we may conserve our resources for the Greatness of the Empire!"

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

I'm hesitant to accept that hand-waving because I don't see why Ahsoka would give any quarter to Elsbeth in her fight in that episode, so that would also require Elsbeth to be a ludicrously strong fighter despite not being a Jedi. Anyway. Whatever.
I saw it pointed out that the woman Ahsoka duelled looked like a nightsister. If that were the case she's likely force sensitive and Ahsoka wanted to interigate her not just murder her. Luke destroying murderous droids is a completely different fight, the Dark Troopers did not have intel he needed.
Plus the only thing that saved Din from Ahsoka was his Beskar, we in fact saw it save him again from a light sabre with Gideon. Where as the DarkTroopers have armor that is only blaster proof.
Really it shows how impervious Beskar is and how insane light sabres are.

or the Force Unleashed games I liked smashing troopers into walls or other troopers, either via force push or a grab and then push. Or in Lost Order force yanking troopers over edges.
I know for my daughter (11) - those things, and this one in particular (along with the scene from Avengers Endgame) stand out and she loves them.
I like hearing this sort of stuff. The scene really didn't bother me at all, same with the on from Endgame and if it makes even one little girl get more excited about superheros or space wizards then I am for that ####.

I don't know if this was answered. Katee Sackhoff was the voice of Bo Katan in Clone Wars and Rebels.
So that's four Star Wars shows that have now been announced, with Mandalorian, Bad Batch, Ahsoka and now this... I'm a bit concerned that Filoni is going to end up spreading himself a bit thin and the quality won't be there... kind of like Netflix trying to do all the Marvel's Defenders shows. They can't all be good, can they?
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.

I think there are more.
Isn't there a 'mystery" one surrounding the first sith?

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.

Is there? My understanding is that they were rebel jedi who split off and went to live on a planet with a race of people literally called "Sith". Basically a not terribly subtle parallel with Paradise Lost.

A week after The Mandalorian season 3 entered development, news emerged that a "female-centric" new Star Wars series is being worked on, with Leslye Headland – the co-creator and executive producer of the Netflix series Russian Doll – on board as showrunner. Sources revealed at the time that the series "takes place in a different part of the Star Wars timeline than other projects" and now, thanks to the huge Disney investors' call, we know that to be true.
"The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era," reads the official synopses. The High Republic era is around 350 years before The Phantom Menace, and this will be the first time that period is explored on screen.

It's by design. They provide precious fuel for the reactor.
did you see how much additional power got generated when Palpatine fell into the reactor? that cloning program on Exogol was the only reason they were able to get all those new star destroyers off the ground.
You forgot that they routinely lose engineers due to a stunning lack of safety features. (No hand rails, super lasers going down a hallway past exposed people on a thin ledge. Trash compactors with no sensors to protect people that fall in).
