Star Wars has been in distress for quite some time now, but the ratings

there's allegedly talk inside the Magic Kingdom that in order to focus on
fixing Marvel, Star Wars may be shelved indefinitely. Here's what I was
told! #disney #starwars #marvel

I haven't seen it yet, but Skeleton Crew has received good reviews. One
recent one saying it should have been a movie and would have
revitalised the franchise.
The "ratings failure" is having these shows exclusive to the single
Disney+ streaming service. That decision alone means the potential
audience is a tiny fraction of the overall Star Wars fans because
nobody can nor wants to keep paying out to all these different
streaming services just to watch a couple of shows on each one - it's
simply far too expensive and was doomed to failure from the outset. :-\
It also isn't helped by Disney's aversion to releasing movies and shows
on DVD / Blu-Ray / 4K, or only releasing them for a short production
run.
There's no one caring about Star Wars anymore, thus no one to watch
"the message." Now, they're going over to Marvel in hopes that there's someone left to watch "the message." And it will be too late for them realize there's no one else there either.
There are millions of people who want to watch new Star Wars. The problem is
A. All the "Politically Correct" garbage that Kathleen Kennedy
keeps trying to push out. She needs to be fully kicked out.
B. The ill-fitting garbage being made by idiots who think they
know how to do Star Wars "better" and/or what it "should
have been".
The same is happening with many other franchises, including Star Trek,
Marvel, DC, etc. thanks to a generation of talentless, "Politically
Correct" hacks in Hollyweird who do not have any real idea what they're
doing. The only "franchise fatigue" there is is in the fans being tired
of having to deal with the idiots in charge now destroying the
franchises. :-(
