Not sure which thread to pick so I post here. The last time I posted viewing numbers it didn’t go down to well.
Starwars is dead! Dead dead dead!
Nielsen coming out and backing up what we already knew. Complete failure in the main market. “Andor number”
Show will probably pick up towards the final like most shows.
Bad news for Disney+ and Lucasfilm as it is learned the new Star Wars Ahsoka series is completely tanking in the ratings.

A shame as Ashoka is actually really good.
I've always thought Disney over paid for star wars, I think they believed there was a much bigger market for star wars than their ultimately is. I think it's quite hard to grow an adult audience, had star wars been released in modern day with modern day effects I'm not convinced it would have the same effect as it did in the 70's and 80's.
The new Star wars trilogy was ruined because different directors **** each of the films and started to go their own way.
The first film was good laying the bed for 2 & 3 but then 2 &3 just went a bit silly I suppose and failed at tying things in and some bits moved at too fast a pace and others were slow meaning there was a disjointedness to the film's. (Also I want to note how **** poor mark Hamill is at acting)
Solo tanked as a film, it just failed on every level to put depth and back story to han solo, an awful film.
Rogue one was excellent, and all subsequent new films should have been at least as good as this.
Andor is awful, just couldn't get into it, I don't agree with the hype.
Mandalorian, oni wan kenobi, Ashoka are all excellent series though imo. Book of bonna fett quite slow and boring best episode's were when mandalorian and grogu featured in them...
Marvel films, well their for a captive audience, they are never going to be realistic. One of the issues is trying to get all the different films to tie into each other, yet all directed by different people, with their own ideas and thoughts, it's just a bit messy and probably affects the storyline of the film as it needs to tie into something else..at face value they probably offer what the audience wants, and ultimately marvel movies they will try and aim for adult audience but really at the end of the day it's mostly kids like my boy who are going to be proper into it, and the toy franchises that come out of these films is probably the most lucrative more so than the film's themselves.
Budgets aswell play a big part, the budgets for these movies are huge which I think overwhelms the directors, it's like they spend it because they can, when really if they had greater restrictions they would likely be more creative to get their vision and a better product would result.
Sorry for rambling, I'm sure there is a lot to disagree with in my comments
