You clearly caught him with your Question about Bill Conti's Rocky score !
And how the refuses to admit he stole more then an inspiration from that score for Mando ! He worked on the movie Creed before, that is clearly a Rocky continuation, for his work on Creed he must have done some research and found and liked Bill's OST and nearly lifted all instruments and many cues from there. His Love for Rocky is further evident as he named his own Son Apollo ! The same name as Carl Weathers had in the Movie. And then he lies here about stealing mostly all his music from other places. Man, so sad !

Actually, there seems to be mostly nothing original in all his compositions, and especially in the Mandalorian the music is so random, generic often and all over the place, its mostly just bad ! He ignores existing Star Wars musical history, tunes and existing motif's that would benefit the show for his own selfish reasons. OR he just don't know how to compose a good original score ! Really i I like the show, but his music nearly pushes me to the limit of what i can take.
