Agreed wholeheartedly. One of the reasons I love The Mandalorian so much is that it feels like the old EU stories to me in two ways, and differs in one:
-Uses the post-OT galaxy as a setpiece, not a focus
-Nails the mix of seriousness and humor that the OT does so well
-Differs in that, as you pointed out, it has a great character arc and some nice themes supporting it
If they keep this up they may have found their way back to Good Star Wars.
