I loved Ep. 7. I also loved Mandalorian. I did not love ep. 8 or ep. 9 - too much force ghost, not enough character detail. It's pretty easy to see how much credit Jon Favreau should get for the quality of Ep. 7 and Mandalorian, given how easy it appears to be to be to fall short when that Star Wars magnifying glass is on you.
If you really want to see just how much better the original trilogy was, just start viewing any of those 3 and pause it at any point in the movie. OK, what details do you see now that you did not see when watching it through? It is stunning.
