The unfortunate situation is that Star Wars fans loved Andor, but it was one of the lowest watched star wars shows, while being one of the most expensive. Good ratings won’t move the needle for disney, views will.
The show just ended, i just binged it, judging the views and rating on a show that just ended is silly. Most people wait till it’s over to binge it like I did.
I totally agree, but most of these companies are not creating shows for their long term libraries, but for immediate views. You’d think they’d be smarter about these choices, but shareholders…
I posit that ratings in a franchise like Star Wars are a downstream reflection of previous material. Part of Andor's low ratings I think are a reflection on the other shows that came out and weren't good. It creates an environment where so many viewers check out. I'd say that Disney reducing the amount of Star Wars shows it puts out and giving the shows to properly talented creators to make unique high quality projects should be the takeaway.
