1. Of course it was.

   It didn’t have a Skywalker in it.

2. This doesn’t surprise me

3. It was mid except for one character and one fight scene so this makes sense

4. Genuine question, how did Disney manage to fuck up Star Wars so badly?

   Their sequel triology is divisive at best, while most of the new shows are mediocre (with the exception of Andor and a good chunk of the Mandalorian)

   They have more or less killed the general audience’s interest towards the franchise

5. It was a awful show, not surprising at all.

6. Oh no, what will all the angry nerds complain about being woke now?

7. Glad I didn’t watch. Andor is the best SW thing that’s come out under Disney (aside from Rogue One)

8. The craziest thing about Acolyte, Boba Fett, KenobI, Ahsoka : on paper the outlines of the stories sound awesome. Then when they sat down to fill in the blanks they screwed the pooch.

   DISNEY YOU BETTER NOT FUCK UP ANDOR

9. I guess the power of maaaaaaaaaany wasn’t very strong

10. I’ve been geeking out on the Star Wars books lately and the ones I’ve read so far already have powerful female characters, so many choices to turn into epic movies and series, why oh why can they not see that? You don’t need to have an agenda to follow, just make a good movie based on the novels written, follow them don’t go change everything and you could easily get your fan base back.

11. Man. I was looking forward to more scenes of thirsty women creeping on bathing men.

12. People on twitter trying to blame this on review bombers lol

    Studios don’t care about your reviews when it comes to renewing a show – it’s all viewership numbers

    That’s why Velma got a 2nd season yet American Dad has almost been cancelled a few times now

13. Just let Diego Luna run the IP, he’s the only good thing (besides Mandalorian) that Disney has done with star wars

14. This was the worst show of all. Kenobi is second worst. Everything else is good. Kinda sad Ashoka may not get a second season.

15. The cancellation seemed obvious the way the creator was talking at comic con.

16. Like screw Disney really.

17. The director said her main purpose was to “make men uncomfortable”…sounds like she just made them bored. Too bad men make up 75% of hard core, star wars fans
