Part 4/7:
The drop in audience numbers is stark when comparing the season finales. According to Samba TV data, the season 3 finale was watched by approximately 662,000 U.S. households, marking a significant decline from the 1.1 million households that tuned in for the Season 2 finale. This represents roughly a 40-45% decrease in viewership, signaling a substantial erosion of interest.
Furthermore, the audience response on review aggregator platforms echoes this sentiment. While the initial seasons were considered groundbreaking for Lucasfilm and Disney Star Wars, the latest season appears to have failed to meet expectations. The culmination of audience dissatisfaction is reflected in the shrinking subscriber base and declining viewership figures.
