Seriously, almost every piece of Star Wars spinoff media coming out since the Lucas Film acquisition is in some way or form heavily tied to the OT trilogy, often constraining itself by setting the spinoff somewhere between ROTS and ANH, or ROTJ and TFA.
As such, while I'm not gonna speak as to the quality of these products, a lot of them have a 'been there, done that' vibe to them, what with the same villains, the same setting, the same backstories yadda yadda.
It doesn't help that the ST's aesthetic is pretty damn similar to the OT's, making it all blend together.
Compare the PT and related media's aesthetics to that of the current spinoffs.
Hell, compare the CGI Clone Wars series to Rebels, Resistance, Solo, Rogue One etc
It's remarkably different and has its own sense of style, with distinctive ships, characters and yes, lightsabers.
And with Disney signing off on more Mandalorian, maybe an Obi Wan story that will presumably also have him wallow in misery in the timeskip between ROTS and ANH, yeah....
What I'm getting at is Disney, for the love of Whils, please explore more varied periods.
The Clone Wars, a series set pre-TPM, hell, the period between TPM and AOTC, all have some interesting settings.
Use it.
