The Empire needs to be treated as an actual threat in this series.
The way they're treated in Rebels, Mando and Kenobi can't be repeated here.
Stormtroopers in the OT went from slaughtering Rebels on the Tantive 4 to the comedy act of the Deathstar escape (though they let them escape) to thrashing to Rebels on Hoth to be being battered by teddybears on Endor.
Rogue One was a mixed bag but the most embarrassing stuff was mostly down to Force shenanigans. Ultimately, troopers killed every Rebel on Scarif. Deathstar killed the 2 main characters. The Empire swept the board in that movie. They were a very real threat.
For this show to work, the Empire needs to be a real threat.
No troopers sat around missing their practice shots at short range. No, dozens of troopers shooting at a group of Rebels at short range and missing nearly all their shots.
A Star Destroyer with its squadrons of TIES should be a real threat.
In the OT and Rogue One when Stormtroopers were shooting at people other than the main cast, they were pretty lethal.
This show needs the Empire to be a legitimate threat.
