What to know

  • Ahsoka draws about as many viewers as Andor premiere… But fewer than Obi-Wan and Mando. This says to me that Star Wars has a baseline fandom that will turn out for even the less hyped shows, but the franchise is no longer hitting home runs every time it’s at bat. Live-action Star Wars used to be a tentpole event for everyone, but it seems the audience for it is becoming more niche than ever. I do wonder if Disney is OK with this considering the amount they’re probably spending. ✨
