If only "fan ratings" always equated to series success... SW Megafans are those who will love anything SW....look them up, there are plenty who enjoyed The Acolyte....but their appreciation is a given and likely a constant figure with anything released on D+ or elsewhere....their views cannot really be used in determining if a show was a success..... If only Disney had not disclosed their rationale on what makes a series successful....hint...it's not based on how "liked" a show was for the superfans, as they will like anything....it's mainly based on viewership....don't need to be an insider, just look it up on the webs...Disney explained their decision-making logic.... I have already said that the latest show is potentially a good "reset" point for the SW D+ shows....it was nothing that was going to be trailblazing or too controversial....just cut and paste all the stuff SW fans like....and then see what happens....unfortunately, nothing happened, well....other than no substantial amount of streaming consumers caring enough to watch the show...so the show can be used as a lesson on how being too safe is also not a good option for D+ SW....I have said it before, as long as people are "talking" about SW....bad or good....it still keeps the IP in the public eyes....these shows exist to keep selling tickets to their parks....to keep them relevant....unfortunately, a good or bad SW D+ show is inconsequential....either will get the parks packed with customers and their spending cash....
-
Again....the facts don't lie....this series failed worse than the series that was more or less universally panned.....and no matter how much you try and spin it with loads of the same repeating text vomit....the numbers don't lie.....the few SW megafans who actually watched the show and will love any trash put out by D+ doesn't make it a "success"...not that hard to understand....sheesh!
-
Correct....thanks for "getting it"... I want great, epic shows....not safe, mediocre shows....D+ can't afford to keep making them....so hopefully they understand that these type of series releases are not a long-term solution....still, they can have their place in D+'s overall content if purposefully done as movie "one-shots"....sort of like they did for the Halloween Marvel Werewolf movie....
-
Skellington Crew will eventually be forgotten and/or re-evaluated for exactly what it was (already starting to see the good-will erode on-line)....another waste of time for subscribers and money for D+...right now people were so disillusioned with The Acolyte that it is clouding their judgement on the latest series.....had it come directly after a much better show like The Mandalorian S1 or Andor, the expectations would have been higher as has been demonstrated in the past....right now it is getting some good vibes due to how bad the previous show was and not due to it being anything ground-breaking or contributing anything to a sustaining future for the IP....it's merely a soft and safe reset for the IP at best....was it needed....probably, but it was like placing a bandaid on a severe stab wound...Hopefully if Andor does not dissapoint, Skellington Crew will go off into obscurity and be forgotten or another show no one wants to bring up again...
-
Guess you don't get it...although it's right there in the first sentence you quoted...so not sure how to make it any less vague for you...it's valid in the context I am referring to not in the way you are trying to spin it....
-
Nah.....Disney is trying to come up with creative ways to try to convince itself that their shows are what their subscribers want....these alt-facts may work on the weak-minded uber fans, but I doubt their advertisers are going to be OK with paying top streaming show dollars for stuff no one is watching.....and as far as I can tell, Disney is still a profits-based company beholden to its investors who expect higher performance for the best returns...weak ad revenue isn't compatible with high investment returns...but that's exactly the situation they will be in if they continue with pointless, safe series like Jedi Hondo's Adventures in Space....
-
The point is now SW is borrowing from itself.....this show was literally a cut-and-paste story from start to finish.....it'd probably be more entertaining than the series itself to go through it and match the scenes to what movie it was ripped-off from...LOL
-
Oh yeah, they care....they would have been touting their success if the viewing "numbers" were something they could brag about....sadly they are worse than their last canceled show....
-
Cute? NOPE....the bilgerat looks quite nightmarish....
-
Again....a Han Solo ripoff.... Perhaps Pirate Solo can talk his way into a second season?
-
Smee is basically K2SO....but speaks in pirate....making Smee a different and refreshing droid!!
-
The Hatbox hype was because it was there in the beginning, then taken down and never returned until just recently....it hasn't had a chance to have been re-imagined...yet

Captain America: Brave New World - February 14, 2025

The aerial fight sequence look pretty good....IMAX it is... -
Another lame change....which, itself had already been changed into something better via Constance Hatchaway the killer bride, IMO....now it seems to be back to a sad bride, with the new twist being we don't really know the circumstances of the deaths of her many husbands....
-
Maybe that scene was purposefully done to mirror a certain event involving another "scoundrel" whose original action was to shoot first....but has since been changed several times to the disdain of SW fans....unfortunately, this time around, Space Jack Sparrow's only purpose for killing Capt Wolfie was merely a plot device to keep the "youngsters" watching this "kid show" guessing if he was good or bad...which by the end no one cared.... Remember, this pointless series was a patchwork of stolen concepts, ideas and scenes from several movies, but also utilizing several things from it's own IP... Based on the "numbers", there is no way it would make sense for Disney to greenlight a S2, even if they clearly ended it with the intent for more....the reason they probably haven't announced a cancelation of a Season 2 is purely due to the optics of doing so...another back to back failure is embarrassing, no need to bring any attentionto it...especially considering there was less interest in Skellington Crew than The Acolyte.... Personally, I have no need for another pointless adventure with Space Jack Sparrow....aka Jedi Hondo!....
