The reason why is probably that not enough people watched the show. Yes, almost all who did, both critics and audiences alike, loved it but it just didn’t catch on with mainstream audiences. If you compare how many people watched Andor compared with the Book of Bobba Fett and Kenobi, Andor was definitely the least watched of the three. Specifically, if you compare the 3 series’ Nielson ratings, both Boba Fett and Kenobi charted multiple times, whereas Andor only charted a few times. Disney even tried to boost ratings by airing the first few episodes on Cable Television as well as on streaming, and even that didn’t push up its numbers as much as they wanted. Don’t get me wrong I wish they’d try to promote it way more as well but those are probably the reasons why. You could probably make an argument that the reason why Andor didn’t do as well was that the previous 2 shows were so bad the dissuaded fans from checking out another season, or that it was up against House of the Dragon, but Andor just didn’t do that well in terms of viewership numbers, which is a shame as it’s probably the best Star Wars thing we’ve gotten in years.
