Lucasfilm can't even get Star Wars to succeed anymore (Andor was a flop for those who don't know), how the hell are they going to make this sequel to a half forgotten 80s movie work?
Disney's quality is awful these days, and they get by solely on brand recognition, something this doesn't really have. I just don't see this succeeding.
They did it because Amazon has been doing Lord of the Rings and Netflix had the Witcher (it'll gas out soon enough without Henry)
So they wanted to do their own fantasy show. And it hurts too much to do original material so why not just shove in some Lesbians to whatever you have lying around.
Not surprising, if people feel like I do about it. I saw the Critical Drinker posted a video talking it up today and after about 2 minutes of it I realized I wasn't listening. I've reached a point where Star Wars is a franchise I don't care about. It's not one I love, it's not one I hate, it's definitely not one I love to hate, it's... there. It occupies the same amount of my interest as the untranslated art films of some French director no one's ever heard of. I'm sure it has its fans and it might even be very good, but I just don't care.
Not doubting what you write, but what metric can be used to determine whether a show is a flop or not? Number of people watched? Number of minutes watched? Are these numbers available publicly? Or is it based on estimates?

I remember people saying this would eventually happen.

Disney plus as a whole has lost so much money that they ousted their chief executive.
Can we know whether that was really the reason?
Would Chapek be gone if Disney+ was making bonkers money? Nah
It's always hard to tell for sure, but using Nielson's top ten is usually a solid indicator. https://www.nielsen.com/top-ten/#streaming
Andor is in 8th place on the Original tab and did higher numbers than Netflix's Dahmer, which I've been led to believe was incredibly successful.
