[QUOTE="DragonFox91, post: 77174953, member: 432108"] As a ex-SW fan I think some of the problem is SW is not mainstream. Instead it was very passionate fans who lived, breathed, & bought all thing SW. When I talked to people about SW, they always said they could never get into it because it’s not in order, or they just treated it like any other generic sci-fi / fantasy movie, where you watch it once & then you’re done with it & move on to the next thing. I think the Average Joe simply could care less about the Disney+ shows, or one-off movies like Solo or Rogue One not because the shows & movies are bad (tho some (many?) are), most people just are not interested in it. It’s a lot like Star Trek, in a way. The Casual Joe simply isn’t going to watch a SW show any more than a Casual Joe is going to watch a Star Trek show. Disney thought they could just pump out movies & shows & there’d always be an audience, but I don’t think that was never going to be the case, even if the products were good. Somehow they were able to appeal to the wide audience w/ Marvel, but I think that has more to do w/ seeing those characters on the big screen done properly for the 1st time. Casual Joe has seen Jedi before. This was the first time Casual Joe was able to see the Avengers on screen. But a lot of people think that even that novelty has worn off. So my point is, instead of appealing to fans, Disney alienated fans by just making throw-away movies thinking Casuals would keep coming, but by doing that, they turned the fans off & were never able to sustain Casuals.
