I’ll make this fast, since I’ve mentioned this intimately beforehand. However the Skeleton Crew collection finale did not make the Luminate streaming charts that are already out for the previous 7 days, so the ultimate episode is already included. The #10 entry on the Luminate charts has 377.8 million minutes.
In the meantime on the Nielsen charts episode 4 additionally failed to depart an impression, the present remains to be absent from these charts as nicely, the #10 authentic collection right here has 326 million minutes.
This implies Skeleton Crew is with little doubt the least watched Star Wars stay motion present on Disney+ ever. With most likely even much less viewers than for Ms Marvel.
Anybody who nonetheless clings to the hope that this will one way or the other, perhaps get an order for a second season can be sorely dissatisfied. It’s moot to debate the explanations for this failure. It’s most likely a mixture of things: children as primary characters which will not be one thing most grownup Star Wars followers need, Star Wars Goonies meets Treasure Island could also be too far faraway from Star Wars as followers know and prefer it, and perhaps The Acolyte has left nothing however scorched earth.
The one folks in charge listed below are those making all the selections at Lucasfilm and Disney. Completely to not blame nonetheless are the showruners Christopher Ford and Jon Watts and all of the actors starring in Skeleton Crew, they delivered. The one query Watts and Ford could must reply is that if their pitch actually was a very good match for Star Wars, nonetheless that’s Kathleen Kennedy’s job to resolve, not theirs, they did a extremely good job. So in case you like Pirates of the Star Wars Galaxy as an idea the present was a enjoyable trip with the very best writing for any Disney+ Star Wars present outdoors of Andor and early Mandalorian seasons.
Why there may be nonetheless no report of Kathleen Kennedy leaving Lucasfilm after her third colossal failure in a row (Indy 5, The Acolyte, now Skeleton Crew) and cratering merchandise and online game gross sales retains on boggling the thoughts. Subsequent sufferer of her contact of dying might as nicely be The Mandalorian & Grogu film, the leaks for that film sound horrible. However by then it could be far too late to interchange her. It’s troublesome to see how Star Wars might make a comeback any time quickly when there’s nothing however craters, smoking ruins and scorched earth.
Let’s hope for the very best.
Defeat
