Mandalorian's pretty consistent about it, but it really stood out to me in the shootout when Breaking Bad's chicken man had besieged Our Heroes in the saloon. There's a crack to the impacts, and a speed to the bolts, that really makes you go "oh shit, those might hurt!" in a way that no Star Wars media I can think of (and I've seen/played/read just... way too much of it) had before.
And it was mediocre in the way that basically all the Mandalorian episodes were, but I really enjoyed the use of the AT-ST as a Robert E. Howard, Summoned from the Darkest Jungle by the Forest Savages and their Witch Doctors, primeval monster-beast, in that one episode. Really made the thing seem scary, at least at times. Absolutely perfect example of how to rip off genre media then paint it Star Wars to turn out an above-average Star Wars thing (not that that's a high bar) with minimal effort.
