      The Mandalorian is best understood as a throwback to Knight Rider, the A-Team, the Fugitive, the Incredible Hulk, & other "mysterious stranger goes town to town righting wrongs" TV serials.

      Also, it really is amazing how much of Star Wars is about repairs.

          This. I’ve actually ways said, Star Wars isn’t Science Fiction, it’s Mechanics Fiction. Considering Lucas was a car loving hot-rod type, that tracks.

          When they omitted the Quantum Mechanics and Physics, it left room for DIY garage repairs on a faster-than-light spacecraft.

          I get Twitter is mostly about making pointless and inane observations, but you take it to the nth degree.
