   I haven't seen it yet, but Skeleton Crew has received good reviews. One   
   recent one saying it should have been a movie and would have   
   revitalised the franchise.   
      
   The "ratings failure" is having these shows exclusive to the single   
   Disney+ streaming service. That decision alone means the potential   
   audience is a tiny fraction of the overall Star Wars fans because   
   nobody can nor wants to keep paying out to all these different   
   streaming services just to watch a couple of shows on each one - it's   
   simply far too expensive and was doomed to failure from the outset.  :-\   
      
   It also isn't helped by Disney's aversion to releasing movies and shows   
   on DVD / Blu-Ray / 4K, or only releasing them for a short production   
   run.

   There are millions of people who want to watch new Star Wars. The problem is   
      
   A. All the "Politically Correct" garbage that Kathleen Kennedy   
      keeps trying to push out. She needs to be fully kicked out.   
      
   B. The ill-fitting garbage being made by idiots who think they   
      know how to do Star Wars "better" and/or what it "should   
      have been".   
      
   The same is happening with many other franchises, including Star Trek,   
   Marvel, DC, etc. thanks to a generation of talentless, "Politically   
   Correct" hacks in Hollyweird who do not have any real idea what they're   
   doing. The only "franchise fatigue" there is is in the fans being tired   
   of having to deal with the idiots in charge now destroying the   
   franchises.  :-(
