Tanked?
The most popular show on the platform by some margin.
All the slump stories are the normal hyperbole.
It’s down on season one definitely, but not too far behind season two.
It is a downward trend though.
I think the Boba Fett series has caused all the issues to be honest. Major plot developments took place in another show! Sure way to alienate an audience.
Where are the episode by episode figures? - that graph is only displaying the season premiers. The most popular show on the platform by some margin.

Yep that's either some genius level trolling or C5 is totally oblivious to a lot of the furore going on around the Star Wars franchise right now.My point was genuine, I'm not a Star Wars "fan", but what they're doing with the franchise has engaged me more than before.
As they say user experience may vary......

My apologies, you are correct, it was someone else that quoted you but I'm easily confused. My point was genuine, I'm not a Star Wars "fan", but what they're doing with the franchise has engaged me more than before.

As for engagement in the franchise, I'm afraid I don't share your assessment. The first sequel movie was OK if very derivative and they just got worse from there and I mean really bad, Rise of Skywalker was awful. Solo was poor and while other people rave about Rogue One, I found it mostly passable with the final 10 minutes being good.
In short my interest in the franchise was at an all time low before Mandalorian came along. The first 2 seasons basically revived my interest and brought Star Wars back from the brink for me, they were very good. However Boba Fett was OK'ish and season 3 has dropped off massively for me.
I haven't seen Andor so I'll give that a go next but in short, out of all the recent Disney, Star Wars output I've seen, only 2 seasons of Mandolorian have been worth my while which leaves an awful lot of misses, all IMO of course.

Oh I almost completely agree with your summary there. Enjoyed TFA but agree I can see it was derivative but I was ok with that. The next two were not good IMO. Rouge One I appreciated much more on second watch but yeah the last ten mins is basically the best of it. As for engagement in the franchise, I'm afraid I don't share your assessment.

Same assessment of the shows, Mando is the one I've really enjoyed the others have been "ok". Andor is worth your time, it's brilliant. Season 2 apparently ends where Rogue One starts so a nice little tie in.
Again, I'm not a huge SW fan but there was a time when the original trilogy was all anyone had for so many years. I think it's great they're expanding and giving everyone a bit of something. I've even watched Visions which has been very different but again, a nice change.
Anything that gets more people involved in the franchise I feel is a good thing. People can take from it what they want and leave the rest.

No skin in the game here but from what I know of streaming data there is little to no chance that can be accurate as a wider picture, Reelgood has less than 5m subscribers in the US and they very specifically say 'interactions' rather than watched, which could mean anything.Actual streaming viewing figure data is essentially non-existent, and especially so on a granular level like weekly and in a specific territory.

This was the first one I could find but not the only one. I've seen it a few times in relation to other shows in fact, just know that it's always up there. Look at any source/measure of streaming data available and Mando is in the top 10 every week. I'm aware actual data isn't from source necessarily but they're measuring all the shows the same so it doesn't really matter.

Hints and tips for completing Mandalorian Season 3:
The final battle against Gideon and his Beskar Troopers is quite challenging even on normal difficulty
Before the final boss fight, open the console with ~
Enter mythosaur 1 to activate cheats
Enter infinitejetpacks 1 and press enter
Enter fireproof 1 and press enter
All NPC's will now have unlimited jetpack fuel and the "happy ending" where you adopt Grogu is unlocked (instead of the default funeral cutscene after he is incinerated.)
If you purchased the Deluxe edition with Navarro homestead cosmetics, you'll also now have a base that you can customize, as well as the ability to play as IG11 in New Game+ mode.
I watched it at lunch time.
I felt it was pretty good.
For me the big plus was that none of the characters got sidelined and they all managed to get their time to shine, especially Din who was pretty badass.
A slight negative was the whole Iron Moff thing and the lack of clarity on his ultimate fate….again.
No after credit scene was the biggest surprise though.

I'm going with you didn't see the body so he'll still be around, maybe a bit more well done than medium rare in parts, so he'll have to leave his helmet on. Esposito does the part by voice, like Pedro Pascal (who kept his helmet on for the whole season this time).Pepperpots said:
I did like his comment about Mandalorians being less so once they lose their trinkets, only for him to be less so once he lost his trinkets.
Shame about the dark sabre...
I thought that too Shame about the dark sabre...
The only reason he wasn’t immediately killed was due to the iron Moff suit and his imperial guards.
