Pretty much sums up my feelings on the show too. to add, most of the good Star Wars stuff to come out of Disney is stuff that only loosely mention Jedi and sith. Andor, Rogue One, and Mando are the only good Star Wars things Disney has produced. Rebels and Bad Batch are decent.
but everything related to Jedi and sith that Disney has produced has been utter garbage. my guess is their focus groups identified lightsabers as being the coolest thing from Star Wars that everyone likes, so their marketing team says "do whatever but put lightsabers in it!". the result is some of the most uninspired "fan service" I have seen in a long time.

Bitch, Kyle Katarn did all of that shit simply as his FIRST mission as a merc hired by the Rebellion.
Not saying it was better than EU, but it was a well-written story that slotted well into the original trilogy in a vacuum.
