Star Trek: Picard is a direct continuation of Star Trek: The Next Generation. As for The Mandalorian, it’s still set within the realm of Star Wars, even reintroducing familiar characters like Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker. I’d say that qualifies as a continuation of the story, even though it’s a new one within the established framework. That’s not exactly apples and oranges lol
Yes, you're reintroducing established characters like Boba and Luke but they're not the focus of the show like Johnny, Kreese, Daniel, and Silver are in COBRA KAI. A hiccup of an appearance is again, not the same thing as CK who are continuously involved in the show. But, just another thing we can agree to disagree on.
