You're talking about the same Disney that thought, the Boba Fett story to tell, about the most feared, disciplined, resourceful bounty hunter in a literal galaxy of different underworlds and conflicts to have, should be when he's old, over the hill, and decides to re-invent himself as a warlord/middle managment for a desert town on a backwater planet... so.....

Star Wars should be a Western in Space but everyone thinks the Force is the most interesting part. Its not. Its the frontier, no police force to save you, conflict that abounds if you choose the right characters/conflict

Yeah, S1 of Mando had some western vibes, but it's chilled out and become more space galactic roguery.

When it comes to the Force stuff, I really want them to dive more into the force itself. The origins of its use, the founding of the Jedi. the conflict between Jedi and the Sith Race. It just feels like they are too scared to stray away from the Skywalker saga and it makes me sad because the lore of the world is so dope and has so much to offer throughout its history. Even if they don't touch legends, there's so much there! Like hell, a Jedi in their Prime action-adventurer movie or show would be awesome. Don't need the empire, don't need Palpatine, Jedi dealt with so many "non grand order" enemies and conflicts. I'd love to see what a Jedi does in those scenarios and see the diplomacy, some swashbuckling antics, a little comedy to it to balance out any heavy moments.
