That's a hell of a bummer. Because man, the difference in quality between this and Fett or Obi Wan is just STARK. This is the best thing to come from the IP since The Empire Strikes Back. Only Rogue One is even close, IMO. Well, and Andor - but it's early yet there. Man I hope this thing doesn't whither up and die because it's just such a well made show. But that analogy is spot on - how are they gonna try to prop up BOBF by burning off part of Mando? I didn't realize that was how they did that. Because man there was just no salvaging that pile of crap. |

I hadn't heard that. I mean just a quick google search suggests they're still north of 160 million subscribers and that's a fairly small drop from their peak of about 164 million. And 160 million subscribers is almost certainly more than they had in spring of 2021 and 2022 when Mando seasons 1 and 2 were killing these numbers. I don't think this is a subscriber loss thing - that math just doesn't check out. |

Yeah, but the first parts of Mando were peak COVID when people weren't doing much but sitting around at home.

https://dorksideoftheforce.com/2023/...3-trailer/amp/ So record breaking viewership of the trailer = enormous fan interest and then this: https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2023...iere-week.html And this could be the reason for the low initial numbers: https://movieweb.com/the-mandalorian...on-3-premiere/ "However, there is another factor to be considered that may explain the low viewership of The Mandalorian’s third season. There is choice of release date for a start. Both of The Mandalorian’s previous seasons arrived towards the end of the year, and made their debut on a Friday rather than a Wednesday. This means that the capture of four-day date included a weekend when many more people were likely to be watching TV. When it comes to a comparison between Season 2 and Season 3, the greatest difference is that Season 2 premiered in October 2020,when much of the world was in Covid lockdowns, which saw huge increases in all viewership volumes. This is a big reason why the latest figures are not really anything to worry about, as more long-term numbers will likely show that The Mandalorian is still as popular as ever." So the difference in season 2 and season 3 premier was 2.08 million for season 2 and 1.5 million for season 3. The season 2 premier includes Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Season 3 premier includes Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I'm willing to bet Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the days with very high viewership numbers and the numbers for Season 3 didn't include one of those days. |

That makes sense too. For example, my son and I have watched every one of the season 3 episodes on Sunday. Wednesday is too busy after he gets home from school. |

Not trying to start anything bigger beyond observing that I’m not sure I can imagine a scenario in which current Disney features two straight people (especially both being essentially white) getting married as a core element of the story. |

Dragon/bird thing was dumb. Really dumb. Didn’t make sense at all why the dragon would wait forever to feed the babies and never even actually pre digest.
