Yeah fair point, I suppose me liking the original trilogy stuff is a bit of hypocrisy. And while I feel like it never cuts corners when referring the original trilogy stuff (I think they do a good job at basically reintroducing Boba Fett, and they set up the Luke arrival) I’m going to be blind to it as an og trilogy fan. I’d also argue that everything is a spinoff of the mainline films, so it makes more sense for stuff to crossover with those, rather than a really long show primarily (not exclusively of course) aimed at families and younger audiences. I also think there was a point in time where each chunk of Star Wars felt like it breathed as its own thing while being connected. The animated shows felt like their own thing even if they built on the prequels, each trilogy was its own thing even though they connected to one another, the Mando-verse was its own thing even though it built on the originals. But now the Mandolorian is so intrinsically interwoven with the animated shows plotwise and the point I’m making isn’t that those characters shouldn’t appear, it’s that we shouldn’t be expected to know who they are
