Five years’ worth of “Star Wars” shows has provided enough evidence for a person to suspect that the extensively known canon fans revere has also creatively shacked it. Instead of expanding the universe in new ways, the corporate dream machine plugged into familiar characters and artifacts. Recent series hinged upon the adventures of young-ish Obi-Wan Kenobi and younger Leia, adult Ahsoka, and an unmasked Boba Fett.
At least “The Mandalorian” expands the culture behind some very familiar armor using characters most viewers knew nothing about before watching it.
