There's too much Star Wars content, and it's apparently hurting viewership

Disney Plus has been releasing no shortage of Star Wars content for the last several years, with new shows popping up all the time. But that more-is-more approach has apparently hurt the viewership of several recent Star Wars streaming series.

According to The Wrap, recent Star Wars shows Ahsoka and The Acolyte experienced sharp drop-offs through their runs, each dropping around 30% in viewership. Conversely, one Star Wars show, Andor, went up in viewership across its run, likely due to strong critical reception and word-of-mouth between beleaguered fans looking for some quality Star Wars content.
