The episodes are too short.
They didn't have to say it.
Yes there would definitely be the risk of filler. But just because you add a little time doesn't mean it has to be filler. This show had plenty of opportunity to add meaningful content.
Funny thing, the baby yoda reveal in the first episode of the series, absolutely made me feel like the 7yr old me. The Luke Skywalker moment also did the same thing.
I don't get that at all from the fans. Yes, I've read and heard all those things. But it's not really in the context of The show is bad because of it. I can find plenty of things that could have been improved in the original movies. And I talk about them plenty. But that doesn't mean I'm being a negative fan. All the things you listed are 100% valid complaints. I just don't see people bashing the show for it. Nothing is perfect, not even the Mandalorian, but in general the vast majority of people really like it.
Maybe I missed it but that was never a criticism I saw or heard. Certain shows were better received (and simply better) than others. They either worked or they didn't.
Though honestly each had at least one positive - David Tennant chewing the scenery like a starved man in Jessica Jones and the freakin' awesome Misty Knight in Iron Fist that should have led to Daughters of the Dragon but didn't. Oh, and I pretty much love David Wenham in anything so he was another plus for Iron Fist.
) from both a character and a business level...
It is not...To get technical I'd actually define myself as the Voyager generation.
BSG reboot I was already in University for!
While I was 'alive' for the other two, to have even seen the tale end of it live would have required my parents to be into Trek, which they most assuredly were not. My Dad is of the missed window who thought Star Wars was childish (he was in his late teens when it came out).
To circle back to your point, I do actually very much understand what you are getting at. I'm just countering that Star Wars TV in 2020 is not Star Trek in the late 80's.
No it was a big criticism (especially for shows after season 1). I really only watched punisher, but season 2 did drag more than it should just to fill the number of episodes. Don't get me wrong, i still really enjoyed it, but they could have cut time down by a couple episodes and I think it would have been much better.Maybe I missed it but that was never a criticism I saw or heard. Certain shows were better received (and simply better) than others. They either worked or they didn't.
But I would not have wished for any less episodes of Daredevil, Luke Cage or The Punisher. That said, I could've done without Iron Fist and Jessica Jones entirely, so they were each *all* episodes too many.
It's one thing to present something as a mini-series with a few episodes to tell one specific story, but if something is going to be a season of a show, I don't think 'as short as possible' is necessarily better.
I would say Deep Space 9 is an example of this hybrid that did it well. Even the one-off episodes took place within an arc in which the way the characters dealt with that problem-of-the-week changed as their own characters changed over the years.

Hoping everyone saw this well-resarched piece of hard-hitting news about the behind-the-scenes push to force Filoni and Favreau to ditch The Mandalorian’s Luke Skywalker/Baby Yoda storyline because Luke is such an obvious and enduring symbol of the patriarchy. Sourced from our own @WDW Pro (who is not only a Disiney parks insider, but also a LucasFilm insider as well), it surprisingly blames the internal battle for the soul of Stat Wars on the LucasFilm president, Kathleen Kennedy, who is clearly only just now hearing about the plot of the series.
