Part 7/12:
While The Acolyte struggles, other recent high-profile Star Wars projects have fared better. The prequel-centered series starring Mads Mikkelsen, which boasts a predominantly female and diverse cast, received glowing critical reviews and substantial viewer interest, with Rotten Tomatoes scores of 84%. Conversely, Ahsoka, another Disney+ Star Wars show, suffered from significantly lower viewership numbers—ranking as the least-watched Star Wars series in Disney+ history—highlighting that critical acclaim does not always translate into popular success.
