as a reformed star wars nerd who grew up before the prequels and read a ridiculous amount of the sw universe books, the prospect of a star wars show/movie that doesn't include ANY of the canon characters and just gets into some interesting corner of the universe is the only thing that keeps me checking in on star wars at all. I'd love some gritty noir detective thing, and if disney has to do callbacks let news or chatter around the characters refer to big events in the canon.
Mandalorian felt like such a breath of fresh air for this reason. Plenty of callbacks to the movies but they were all incidental to the main characters and plots. Then they started putting shit in from The Clone Wars, and it started getting worse.

I'm on the same page with you, mandalorian was fun that slowly decreased the more it got dragged back into the main "story" of star wars
mandalorian was fun shit, I’ve heard the new boba fett is also not bad
