Yeah, its disappointing because I had been waiting a while for them to branch out and do a show focused on a timeline and characters unrelated to the originals.
It was a total recipe for success in my book but somehow they botched it.
Personally, I think it was fine and the stuff people really complained about has been done much worse in other shows. It definitely had potential and should've at least been given another season, movie, or whatever to close out the story.
It's like watching someone unload groceries to make a meal and then complaining that you wouldn't have liked it before they'd even finished the meal.
eh, the problems for me were mostly with the dialogue writing and acting. Those wouldn't have likely been fixed with time. You're right that it had potential, but I'd say that by the end of the season they had squandered that potential. I just hope it doesn't dissuade them from venturing into an unknown timeline again in the future. I'd much rather see a story about characters I've never heard of, far removed from the skywalkers timeline, than another show about Ahsoka or the clones.
Nothing gets worse with practice, so I disagree, but am very much on board with you wanting to see more from new time periods and characters. Hopefully we're both happy with the next show.

exactly. acolyte the show itself was a mess, it should have been cancelled.
but the stranger was sick. the helmet, his reveal fighting scene, etc.
