As had the rest of the forum.
While I was critical of F&F's mea culpa on Boba Fatt-- the fact is they were right. Boba Fatt is largely a nobody and blank slate. F&F were right to be confused why people were mad at their take on him.
Obi-wan did record numbers because it's simply a bigger character than anything in the Mandalorian or Boba Fatt.
The viewers tuned in, sure, in part because of the brand goodwill that Mandalorian restored. But the reality is, Obi-wan is simply that big of a character to the franchise.
And you can search there for your loss in viewership moment.

There's a very real possibility those future films they are working on could be DOA, and what we are witnessing is the death of Star Wars on film and television for the second and first time.
Short of a visionary like Lucas reinventing the franchise-- and those only come along once in a couple of generations. Good luck with Taika's movie.

its been said for years now. Star Wars is a dead franchise. they had a chance with Mando, but Kennedy squashed even that little spark of life.

honestly with boba fett, it wasn't even REALLY about him. i think it makes perfect sense for him to take over anchorhead as a gangster or wherever he was. the problems with book of boba fett weren't boba fett (though it's easy to lump the issues on him) it was everything around him. the power ranger biker gang, the tusken raiders, the hutts just up and leaving for really no reason... it was like they were trying to make a show for every demograph instead of focusing on just a few and ended up just insulting all the viewers.
but yes, i agree that obi-wan did a lot more damage to the ip than anything else in recent history. there were some interesting moments in that show towards the end, but in order to get there they had to fill in 5 episodes worth of "well this happens because the script says so." by the time those interesting moments showed up, they show had lost ALL it's good will

It's one thing for a show to be bad, it's another for it to bring down established characters, timeline, and movies that were fine as is.
The animated shows never did that, they always enhanced previous material or were episodes of the week you could skip. They did not burn down years of lore.

Just for comparison
Obi Wan was so bad I don't even remember finishing it (but I did unfortunately)
Boba Fett was so boring I didn't even finish it.
Wonder which is worse?
Its crazy because if you had told 14 year old me they were coming out with a Boba Fett TV show I would've been first in line to watch it with my trust worthy softcover novel. They absolutely murdered this IP.

One of my favorite books from the EU.
Still have it in a crate somewhere, probably will give it a reread for old times at some point.

There are only two episodes left this season after this week right?
Nothing is happening fast.

It'd be one thing if this was a 16 or 20 episode season... but 8? Yeah, they don't have enough story beats for real seasons just a handful of episodes to tie all the various shows together. Gotta keep those D+ subs active!!!11 What's funny is if the two Mandalorian episodes from Boba had been in this season it'd be so much better.
edit: hadn't gotten to the end yet. what the fuck that's how they resolve that conflict? lame.
