Well I finished watching the first season of TCW with my son and after watching these episodes for the first time in over a decade man I must say that a lot of these episodes are really good! I had totally forgotten about that Ryloth stuff with Waxer and Boil finding little Numa, Cad Bane's intro, and a good number of other things. And this was just the very first season no less. Can't wait to keep going right on through to the finale.
It makes me even more excited for more Mando and Obi-Wan.
Also with regard to "rhyming" I had no idea that the Starkiller Base assembly prior to firing the weapon in TFA was pretty much a shot for shot recreation of a moment from the episode "Defenders of Peace" with the Neimoidian played by George Takei addressing the Battle Droids exactly the same way that Hux would later address the FO.
The camera even does the exact same right to left pan in the second shot above just like TFA.
