Mistakes happen, I posted the wrong screenshot earlier. Call it even.

The phrase "even a broken clock is right twice a day" comes to mind 😆

More fair points. There's a lot out there now. Comics, anime, novels games..etc, but it appears to be spreading thin.

Star Wars Outlaws was a huge release but ultimately underperformed & was outsold by Jedi survivor even though it's an older game.

*shrugs* the franchise is weird...

I didn't say "I'm right" I've repeatedly taken a "we'll see when the movies return" stance.

Also, attending cons =/= watching shows/Movies. Otherwise the Marvel shows/Films would be breaking records right now.

So Luminate and Nielson typically are in sync with their findings, however, Nielsen doesn't release their findings nearly as often.

Luminate posted record low views for Skeleton Crew and later Nielson lined up with those findings.

So the numbers were released for Andor Season 2 and... it looked 😨

Another valid point. However, since the explosion and merger of nerd culture with fan culture, all conventions have been rising in attendance.

Take Megacon for example. ComicCon LA as well.

So it's also hard to draw the conclusions based on attendance as well right?

Fair points. After all, Star Wars always has been a franchise built on it's theatrical draw and subsequent toy & collectibles sold in relation to said films.

Which is why I said we'll see when the movies come back to theaters.

Nielsen is generally the most trusted, and early reports suggest Andor will miss its top 10.

Comparing these 2 tables would indicate a massive drop... but I'll wait for the released nielsen ratings as they are usually the most accurate.

I thought you'd make the connection between declining viewership of MLB and Star Wars on your own.

I liked The Skeleton Crew and Andor. imo is better than half of the first 6 movies to me.

But who's watching it?

They both can't crack the top 10. Andor can't compete with Family Guy's...viewership😞

Similarly... the Star Wars franchise reminds me of baseball.

I'm disappointed with Star Wars a lot in recent years, but I still consider myself a fan.

However, I can't help the feeling that the ship is sinking. When the movies return to theaters, I suspect we'll find out for sure.

Me liking it or not is irrelevant.

I don't like baseball anymore. Baseball still has lots of fans. Its accessibility has gone well beyond North America.

Yet, it's declined in popularity and is far removed from the #1 most popular sport in the NA, which was the case from the 40s to the 70s...

I'm not making assumptions based on ticket sales for a rerelease compared to new movies release pre-covid.

I am asserting that the dwindling population of Star Wars is mostly due to the fact that fans are more attached to the era of episodes 1-6 and the legacy characters from that time.

No, I actually think people who dislike the Kennedy Era need to come to terms with the fact that 1-6 IS disney now.

Also, look at Mando season 2 Finale and Ahsoka Episode 5 for examples of this same effect in the modern era.

There's clearly a longing for those characters.

Did I say they never lost fans?

If I did, please point out where I said such a thing.

This is hate-click farming at the highest level.

It's also somewhat true. It's pretty easy to notice fan reception for Lucas era vs. Kennedy Era Star Wars is just different.

The new stuff has It's dedicated fans, but for the most part, they've lost more fans than they've gained. 😞🤷‍♂️

I think it's imperfected technology.

In 10 years or less, I don't think it'll bother anybody.

20 years, you probably won't be able to tell the difference.
