Looks like a show to watch with my son but I did show him the preview and he said "Dad is this more Star Wars trying to sell a bunch of extra merchandise?" he is already a skeptic after that shitty Obi Wan show we made it through 2 episodes and he had me turn it off...

this looks like fun though, cautiously optimistic.

I guess since they don't know why Mando s3 failed, they brought back the same people for this show.

Good Lord these terrible takes

20-25 million streams (so atleast that many viewers) of each episode, yes super fail. I am not surprised its lower regardless it now requires homework (Rebels) to fully get it all now, which I think isnt the best way to go about a show, they are trying to build a bigger universe again from a section of story people grew up with.

Also there is only two directors on that list that have directed any Mando....Bryce Dallas Howard who direct 3 total episodes and Lee Issac Chung who direct a grand total of 1 (Out of 30). Meanwhile you have David Lowery and The Daniels doing them plus Jake Schreier who did Beef and Lodge 49.

Honestly do a some research before coming up with some of the worst takes in this section of the forum.

Stop being so sensitive Grandpa. S3 had a solid mix of good and bad. Hard to top Luke's appearance no matter what they do.

Fail may be too strong a word because the numbers are still relatively high, but successful shows grow their audience season to season.

You see it in your graph with S2 growing. It also shows the audience returning for S3 was initially higher than it was for S1 to S2.

So yes, something went wrong. It could just be the homework element like you say, but I don't think it's unreasonable to be concerned, especially with Kathleen Kennedy wanting to put a chick in it and make it lame and gay.

It's clearly a fail. They delayed s3 for as long to as they could because it needed a complete rewrite after they fired Gina. Then they groomed Bo Katan to be the new Mando and then they had the cringiest cringe moments of baby yoda combat training. It all ended with the stupidest fight scene. Nobody was happy with it. Maybe not even Favreau who killed off his own character in season 3. My theory is that they halted season 4 mid production and are going to turn those few episodes into the Mando movie and call it good. No season 4.

It's not a theory since this was announced over a year ago that they changed Mando into movies and no more seasons.

I don't remember if they said they repurposed those episodes into a movie or just turned 6 hours of TV into a 2 hour film.

No, they had paused writing Season 4 due to the strikes, during which Lucasfilm decided they wanted a movie instead (you know, given the complete disaster their movie production pipeline had become).

But while some S4 plotlines may have turned into movie plotlines, I haven't seen any definitive statement as to if the next production will be Movie 2 or Season 4, box office results being the critical factor.

It's not a conspiracy if they're not allowing reviews even on the day of the show. It simply means they don't want bad reviews to tank what is the last attempt at star wars for the next year or two. The franchise is over. They know it.

Me.
It's not just the actual review, but who is giving that review.
Once you start figuring out who is likely to 10/10 something based on how degenerate it is, you can pretty well decide if a show will be your vibe or not. Oh, Stephen King fucking loves it? Guaranteed it's a giant Trump bashing session, for example.

It's a kids show, but it's a fun kids show. I liked it.

Created mild nostalgia over 80s kids movies.

The modern equivalent of the Ewok special. If you want to watch kids with infinite plot armor, you already had Leia in the ridiculous Obi Wan show.
