That show was utter garbage. The first few episodes were unbearable. The only part that was watchable were some prison scenes and even then It was mid at best
If Andor has a budget of 250 million and 12 episodes, and the Acolyte has a budget of 180 million and 8 episode, this means that Andor has 20.83 million dollars per episode and the Acolyte has 22.5 million per episode. The Acolyte costs more per episode but doesn’t come close to looking as good as Andor.
Plus run time too. Andor is practically double the total run time of most of the shows on the list. It was still an expensive show but obviously its gonna have a higher budget with a higher run time
Not many ppl watched Andor at first because Obi-Wan and Boba Fett weren't that well received by fans, so they weren't really that hyped up for it. They were wrong...
Just goes to show that more money doesn't make it better. Godzilla Minus One out performed so many big titles last year on a less than 15 million dollar budget
We should binge the entirety of Andor a few times over, just to pump those numbers up, because if there is ever a series that deserves more views, it's Andor. And hell, if Disney's only form for attention is reserved for whatever generates them the most amount of views and thus money... Making Andor more viewed, might cause Disney to think "Andor is really popular, we should use it as an example moving forwards for what works in Star Wars."
I thought The Acolyte would be last; it just goes to show that it doesn't matter how much money you put into a project if the project isn't that good to begin with. Although I enjoyed Andor.
Fans will say its because of bad word of mouth, but I think it really just boils down to recognizable iconography. Acolyte doesn’t have any familiar characters to hook normal audiences. I guarantee Mandalorian’s initial viewership was boosted by people who thought the show was about Boba Fett. Andor (a show with great word of mouth) is second from the bottom for similar reasons, most people don’t really remember Cassian as the stand out of Rogue One, so that along with the show’s headier tone is probably a hurdle for many.
Socmed was promoting the Acolyte like CRAZY. On instagram, for example, the bad batch had an average of 2 posts two days after the episode aired. The Acoyte had about 5 posts two days after the ep aired (more on subsequent days), I had to mute the SW account as it was spamming me with Acolyte posts. Still it’s the least viewed show. 😆 Hard sell as always turns people away than draws them, on top of all the Acolyte’s and its showrunner’s controversies
Not surprising on the Acolyte. The show got absolutely review bombed to high heaven before it even released. And when it did come out it failed to really materialize the strong core fanbase it needed to defend it against the haters. A series can survive haters, but it needs fans in order to survive
@@Perroden Popcorn movies are films that are made not to be good, or have good characters, or a good story. They only exist to show off flashy names, a stupid amount of action, and a basic storyline that even a child could follow
If we get a second season of Acoytle, it's not because the first season was a success, it's to keep Leslye Headlands mouth shut from spilling the dirty dealings she knows about going on in Hollywood.
I can argue against this actually. Popularity rules. After Mando season 1 it was said to be the best Star Wars media in decades and even got overpopulized by 'Baby Yoda'. It's clear why the the following seasons got so many views Kenobi was a show heavily requested by everyone at one point and although it flopped in the eyes of many, Obi-Wan is such a fan favourite that people would still watch it. This cannot be said about Andor as people barely remember him, as he was only in a spinoff. Yet, in my opinion, and I do believe I speak for many here is on par, if not even better than the Mandalorian. But because it had no cute mascots but an actually serious tone, it 'scared' fans away. Oh yeah and the Acolyte is trash
@@laszlomatko9981 The holiday special is more a special than a show. I'm sure Ewoks and Droids is less watched than the special. It may not be valuable on streaming or DVD but the widespread word of how bad it is led so many people to see if it's really bad as people said it is.
Andor is beyond the best Star Wars content we've received since the original films. The writing, the music, the atmosphere, the everything in that series is just amazing. I enjoyed the Mandalorian a lot, with some exceptions (Jack Black and Lizzo comes to mind), The Boba Fett series was okay and Obi-wan was borderline bad at points with some extreme highs. And the Acolyte was just plain rubbish..
The sad thing is that number of views reflect nothing of actual quality. If a franchise has built up good will with fans something poor quality will have high views. Ie, Kenobi. Conversely if the franchise is struggling something of great quality will have low views. Ie, Andor We also have seen this happen with Marvel. Captain Marvel was perfectly placed between great projects and got good views despite being generally disliked.
@@Amp661 makes sense. I wouldn’t consider myself a hater or an enjoyer of the Disney content. Not everything they put out was bad. But then again that good stuff was made by people who care and not the corporation itself. If that makes sense
Money, money, money. It's all stats lead too. But an expensive production won't equate quality in the end. Star Wars is oversaturated as it is and most of the time, any trailer that is put out; it is somehow polarising enough to some that they feel the need to harpoon the new product with hate without any final product to judge it. The Acolyte was doomed before it even launched. Disney can sink all the money it wants into a production but in the end, it comes down to quality. That being said, I've not watched Andor but I heard good things about it, more than I did about the Acolyte anyways so it's strange it's not viewed more. Unless a lot of people watch the Mandalorian for Baby Yoda... (Yeah, I still call him that. ☺️)
I mostly agree with this, but star wars isn't oversaturated. Theres still so much content legends wise that would make some amazing shows, if done right. The issue with star wars is the directing (kathleen kennedy). Andor was amazing, but it was geared more towards adults (I am one), and a good amount of star wars audience is teenagers and children.
Everyone is talking about how underrated Andor is, but to be honest, it deserves to be the second least viewed for how they made it Episodes 1-3 are boring as hell, episodes 4 and 5 were all right, and episode 6 is where it starts to get really good. When I tried to watch it when it came out I just couldn’t because of how boring the beginning is, it doesn’t hook audiences. The only reason I got through it is I was sick and bored one weekend and I had time to binge, and I enjoyed it especially when it got to the prison and finale, but it takes a while to get to the good stuff which is not how a show should be. It needs a hook!
@@DieGurke_ ..? Ahsoka is not a show with a straight white man as MC. Also, Andor had an extremely high budget and the most episodes. Kenobi had a 90 million budget, which is a ton of money and the creators just were terrible at their jobs. Acolyte getting that much is outrageous I agree, but it’s not because of politics. What we got in that show doesn’t look like 180.
And people are begging for a season 2 for the acolyte how funny, not to mention Disney continues to promote the acolyte and sequel trilogy for some reason
I really don't care how good of a show Andor was, I couldn't care less about the character. I would much rather watch a show about the REAL Andor...you know, the planet in Star Trek where the Andorians come from.
Money can't compensate for respectless content that has no quality. For instance Amazon's Rings Of Power is the most expensive show ever but how many people actually watched the whole show. Nobody makes any good content anymore
The problem is that fans are idiots. The fact that Andor and The Acolyte are both so low, proves it. Andor is a masterpiece...The Acolyte is pretty trash. The fact that The Mandalorian is so popular pretty well demonstrates that SW fans want a very specific kind of trash. No other trash will do, and non-trash will also not do.
Exactly. It's definitely not ground breaking but it's not as bad as people are saying it is. Personally I give it a solid 5. It wasn't great but it was fine. I'm perfectly comfortable with watching it in my runthroughs of the entire series
@Darth_Zabrak the Lightsaber duels in general put it at 6. I didn't put that into consideration when I posted up that comment. The choreography was really good

Criminal how underrated Andor is
*overrated
That show was utter garbage. The first few episodes were unbearable. The only part that was watchable were some prison scenes and even then It was mid at best
Very true. Andor is an absolute masterpiece. Despite the relatively low viewership, it’s rated extremely highly by those who did watch it.
@@Gym_Shark17 that's only your opinion tho
@@Gym_Shark17 "utter garbage" ... Just curious.. Which series do you like?
They didn't even promoted Andor nicely.
It's a show the bosses didn't want, whereas The Acolyte was the one they did want. Says a lot, really.
lol
I still don’t understand why such a hyped up important series like Kenobi had the lowest budget out of all of them 🙄
It definitely showed it didn’t have a good budget which is a shame
Was it just 6 short episodes? I think at best it was half of Andor time if not much less.
Less episodes equals less budget. Money isn’t the issue.
@@viperson981890mil is more than enough for six short eps
The Main Character was a straight white Man. Thats why they had to cut the budget. If Kenobi was am LGQBT Thing he would had 5 times the budget
If Andor has a budget of 250 million and 12 episodes, and the Acolyte has a budget of 180 million and 8 episode, this means that Andor has 20.83 million dollars per episode and the Acolyte has 22.5 million per episode.

I expected The Acolyte to be the least view Star Wars show because not a lot of people weren’t willing to watch it
Ummm it is 0:13
@@harrisonsmith9456 I know that
It’s absolute trash
It also sucked.
The double negative hurts my soul.
Andor was really good
Andor was amazing, bruh, less than Boba?!
I knew acolyte was going to be the least popular show but I didn’t expect andor to be so low.
It's because people weren't expecting much out of Andor, especially after Kenobi and Book of Boba Fett
And Andor is arguably the best one.
Not many ppl watched Andor at first because Obi-Wan and Boba Fett weren't that well received by fans, so they weren't really that hyped up for it. They were wrong...
Even if we were wrong we really don't care because of what Disney has done to the franchise.
Andor is too underrated. It serious but also isn't messing with previously created events but is still expanding the Star Wars universe.
Just goes to show that more money doesn't make it better. Godzilla Minus One out performed so many big titles last year on a less than 15 million dollar budget
We should binge the entirety of Andor a few times over, just to pump those numbers up, because if there is ever a series that deserves more views, it's Andor.

Star Wars Resistance?
Yeah I'd like to see how they stack up compared to the animations
Most Star wars shows people like myself enjoy to rewatch the show. But with the Acolyte I will only torture myself the one time thank you.
Star Wars Content: *Hello There!!!!*
The budgets they have to make this is crazy and then we have alien romulus with a budget of 80 million dollar
That means no more accolite season 2 let there be an Andor season 2 and I'm hoping for Obi-Wan series season 2
Honestly I would be okay with a Boba Fett and Obi Wan season 2, as long as they’re actually good this time
