To be fair they did make some good ones. I liked The mando ss 1,2. Heard people like Andor too.

I attempted to watch episode 6, but 5 minutes in the acting and dialog was so bad I just couldn't watch it. I'm out.
I like Mando & Andor, but not ObiWan or this one.

Well that means you missed the really really stupid parts. Ahsoka was not in anything after the first 3 minutes. It amazes me this show is written so stupidly.
This is right on par with their massively expensive non-blockbusters of late. WB's Barbie should be a lesson to them. Take a simple idea and LITFA. just the way their fans remember and loved it, give it a freash look and like magic, billions of dollars and a new generation of fans. Writing is about telling a story your fans want to hear and buy into, not continually pushing a narrative thinly veiled as "entertainment." With what happened to him, Luke should have signed on with the emperor.

And you think Barbie is a positive example of this?
I completely understand your point. Barbie however was an example of taking the simplest formula imaginable and making it an overwhelming financial success, all while not alienating 4 generations of loyal fans in doing so. Stand back and you might see the same messaging but two radically different results.

Andor was Shakespeare compared to Asshoka.
Finally a normal length criticism video. Although I'm not sure it's worth the time anyway, of course SW doesn't grow up... it's made for mass-market
Looking at the viewership numbers, it isn’t working very well. Ashoka is doing decidedly bad.
'Ahsoka' Viewership Falls Off Nielsen's Overall Top 10 Chart, Second Week Nearly Identical To 'Andor' That Was "Chasing The Audience"
Lucasfilm's latest Star Wars Disney+, Ahsoka, show fell off Nielsen's Overall top 10 chart in its second week.

Which isn't weird either. There's too much SW and there's so much of other stuff as well.Looking at the viewership numbers, it isn’t working very well. Ashoka is doing decidedly bad.

Andor is probably SW at its most adult on the TV, but it didn't have high viewership numbers either.
They could have ended this in the first episode if the bombs just exploded instead of counting down loudly first, giving her time to run away.
Watching this in fast forward only for the Thrawn-parts. I don't mind a strong female cast, but i hate that all of them are dumb and the only likeable charakter so far is the male villain (i mean Thrawn, not that lazy bearded guy).

The first scene in the first episode......S...T...U...P...I...D. If they wanted to kill her why not just explode one robot without warning? Also why were they ready to kill her with a huge explosion that would have destroyed the precious map thing orb they so desperately needed to find Thrawn? It does not get any better after that opening scene.

What surprises me is that something with such poor writing got produced, and when produced with such poor acting and directing, got released. The process does have reviews & quality checks along the way, and those folks aren't stupid. And they spent a lot of money making it. So they must be targeting this to some other audience? I can't make sense of it.
Indeed.

Yes they've extensively rewritten, sometimes reshot and in one case canceled movies and shows due to poor test audience results. What happened with Ashoka? The force is female vibe too strong?

I don't know. I think these products are made by stupid people for stupid people, which is 95% of humanity, sadly. I they weren't stupid, they wouldn't waste their lifes with making this shit. They are probably smart enough to make a lot of money, though.
(I mean the people in charge, not everyone involved, just to be clear).
I don’t think this kind of entertainment is by definition stupid, and I also doubt the average IQ of the people that like the original Star Wars is worse than the ones that don’t. Your logic just does not follow. As for the people making the current abominations? I must agree: they are stupid!
The people writing this crap just dealt out the biggest raise of the industry… so yeah.. and those aren’t even the people in charge (though I’m sure they often feel like they are)
Disney is bleeding money left and right. No money is being made at the moment, especially not with these shows.
