I can't argue that. But I'd bet familiarity with baby alien or bad guy with laser sword is not required to enjoy the Mandalorean or Rogue One. If a viewers enjoyment of these 'Star Wars stories' rests on familiarity with the shared Star Wars universe, they are failures, in my eyes.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly shows how Clint Eastwood picked up his pancho, that was worn in the two earlier films. Neat as trivia, but I doubt anyone would say you are making a mistake in watching that, if you haven't already watched Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More.
