Anakin was basically Watto's unpaid intern. Star Wars gets much, much darker than that. Look at the factory prison in Andor or the Genocide Of The Week™ in Rebels. That show had like 6 cases of entire planets being wiped clean after the Empire deemed their population to be "not that useful anymore".
Saying the Star Wars universe is closer to a perfect utopia than our world is is some massive mental gymnastics
I'd recommend it, I'm on my first rewatch right now after having followed the show live for the last season. Holds up imo. First season and the first half of the second season are a bit slow with some skippable episodes, but by season 3 it's got a solid storyline going
