Exclusive Data Suggests The Acolyte Is A Star Wars Success Story Despite The Backlash

---

This reads like a bunch of gobbledegook. I have no clue what the real numbers are or how Disney would view what success looks like. However, when you have an article that uses hedge language like the show may be more popular than it appears and then uses some unclear metric to back that claim, then I have doubts about what is being peddled.

How does one gauge streaming and engagement? Does that second word engagement refer to how much people are talking about it online, episodes being rewatched, tracking how many have come back fir every episode? Is it something else? Saying it outperforms shows by a factor of 6 sounds great, but it is a meaningless number because it doesn’t relate to anything understandable. When it isn’t clear, it’s on purpose. All you’d have to do is release some strong viewership numbers to show that it is doing well.

ETA. From the article: Reelgood define "engagement" as an aggregation of user interactions with titles across Reelgood platforms, including playbacks, tracking, and other interactions.
Maybe some one in the industry would have a better understanding of what exactly this might mean.

The Acolyte has dropped to #9 on the Luminate streaming charts for original shows with a paltry 232.4 million viewing minutes – other shows like House of Dragon which are an “acquired” series, since it also runs on HBO cable, are not even included here.

The Acolyte could literally drop out of the charts because it is currently only 4.3 million minutes “better” than Bridgerton season 1, but already behind Bridgerton season 2… an old show, but the new season made people rewatch all the old episodes and since Luminate lists seasons separately (Nielsen does not) Bridgerton has three entries here.

This is a drop of 11% compared to last week and since both episode 4 and 5 are virtually the same length this directly reflects a further loss of viewership.

You just pointed out the best two SW live action series were Acolyte and Obi based on those ratings. It makes sense as their target audience is children and they have not hidden the fact nor did Lucas ever. The majority of people who have a Disney sub is because they have children. So, they made something appeals to a young child who could either care less about SW as a whole or has no clue how long it has been around.

You seem to think this should validate your beliefs it is a good show. Adults that I know who enjoy SW either as casual or hardcore do not enjoy it nor did they enjoy Obi. Disney is great at creating materials that appeals to young children. I do not think anyone will argue that. Now whether it will age well like the history of their movies is yet to be determined.

I have 5 children. Four are boys who are all hardcore SW fans. My 7 & 9 yo enjoy because it appeals to their age, but my 11 & 13 did not enjoy either nor the Fett series.

So thumbs up making something children enjoy. But something else in that article you linked.

the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes sits at an absurd 14 percent, with an improbable 25,000+ ratings (more than all three seasons of The Mandalorian).

That is not from children but adults, like that post on here. The same ones you are trying to convince how good of a show it is.

By the way average of top 100 is 50. You should post that stat on the recruiting pages. So, when certain programs do not recruit well they can take solace now in the fact that just below 50 is not that bad in recruiting classes.

*And as for Kylo Ren, that was just bad writing all around. There was zero need for him to turn dark, and it made no sense that Luke, who knowingly went into a trap to save his friends and then turned himself in to Vader so he could save him would so casually try to murder his nephew over a bad dream.

The issue Lucas decided to make money off of everyone expanding the universe through books, comics, and whatnot. Then decided to come back and the expanded universe had become better than anything Lucas was able to imagine. Yes, he started this whole world but many of the characters became legend not because of him and definitely not Disney.

All that needed to happen is use what was in the EU and everyone would be happy. Like following the storyline of the Solo twins and this crap they conjured up. Kennedy is a complete idiot, but Lucas is not far behind allowing her to make up new stories as bad as the ones that have been coming out.

He is posting stuff about the show.

I don't think he has said he likes the show

My bad if that is the case
