To try and clarify people's terms which I think are getting people confused.

Mandalorian is something like a Western set in the star wars universe. It isn't "Star Wars" because "Star Wars" is a space opera - something with epic sagas and battles with princesses and maybe magic.

As such Mandalorian is more "realistic" with the exception of baby yoda. It is about one low status mercenary trying to make his way with a child. He isn't a great hero or prince doing epic battle for a noble political cause.

Compared to "Star Wars" it feels small and insignificant, because from Luke Skywalker's point of view, he is.
