People say that, but according to the Nielson charts when season 3 was airing it was consistently the 3rd and 4th most-watched streaming show in the U.S. and it did better than both Book of Boba Fett, and Obi Wan in terms of minutes viewed. Season 3 was consistently around 800 to 1100 million minutes viewed while Bobba Fett was only around 500 million minutes (although it did make it to 800 million minutesa few times) and Obi Wan around 400-600 million minutes. It also did a lot better than Ahsoka which again was between 400-800million minutes. Sure critically Season 3 was considerably less well received, especially by fans, than previous seasons, but in terms of the amount of views it still mostly held up. I mean it did have less people watching than season 2, which was consistently around 1200-1300 million minutes , and I think its lowest week was around 800 million minutes, but again Season 3 did make it to 1100 million minutes viewed once or twice as well
True, but I don’t think season 4 will get as many views due to the poor reception of season 3. That season came after one that did get a positive reception. I suspect that the movie will be a flop a la Solo. Ordinary people are just no longer that interested in a franchise they’ve seen lots of before.
On another note, I wonder what general audiences will think of this film? I also strongly suspect that it’s going to be like Ahsoka, where people who haven’t seen the characters’ previous appearances will be confused about all the backstory and what’s going on. It’ll may be especially egregious here considering that the movie is rumored to be an actual season finale, rather than a sequel of sorts like Ahsoka.
