Reminds me of someone watching the Mandalorian with the attention of a spoon. Whatever flaws the show may have, just in the show Mandalorian culture was introduced IMO in just the right way - neither too much or too little. And I, for one, would like to see more Mandalorians, and the arc picking up after the destruction of Mandalore.Some prat named Rob Bricken over on the Gizmodo blog site has this to say about the new trailer:
"Here's the one thing that bugs me: How much of this Mandalore lore is going to make sense to people who havent watched the entireity of Dave Filoni's other work? It feels like its getting increasingly self-referential - or at least all the dude wants to do is tell stories about Mandalore. There's a big, wide galaxy out there, and the best part of "The Mandalorian" has been getting to see parts of Star Wars we haven't seen before."
*clutches pearls* WHAT, he wants to tell stories about Mandalore?! THE HORROR
NO DUH and what we have not seen in live-action is.... Mandalore. We want to see it, thanks. I was gratified to see that many others were low-level dragging him over this statement in the comments.
I dont have enough eyes to eye-roll with for this one, either.
That's kind of the whole point "our secrecy is our survival". So what's the point if nothing is done with that survival? It's like Paul Atreides just ditching the Fremen and you never hear about them again. WTF.
when the series slid into rehash and/or the Ahsoka commercial episode, tho having Mando take over BF equalized things 
tho TBH think the leaked SDCC trailer was the best, plus the crowd reaction. I would have stopped there. But just the few trailer lines, as an arc, Mando seems to have come a long way, from the stoic, by the code bounty hunter to questioning a world view. Luv that it's an actual character building arc, broken down and rebuilt.
Plus, you have to have the right actors who have more than 2 facial expressions.
; e.g., the depressed, "what's it all about, really?" Obi-Wan, watching hardened Stormtroopers drop at a slap, watching Darth Vader stand pondering whether he wanted a caramel or peppermint vente with extra whipped cream vs. firestorming Obi (and then ponders whether he wants pizza or burgers for lunch, while a ship takes off), depressingly having a favorite villain morph into boring; having another villain I was initially excited about apparently unable to attain more than 2 expressions.
