Part 6/9:
While Nielsen provides valuable metrics, it’s important to acknowledge its limitations. Streaming "minutes watched" can be skewed by longer episodes or re-watches—factors that Nielsen's data does not fully capture or differentiate. For instance, Ahsoka's episodes are notably long, with the first two episodes totaling 96 minutes—roughly an hour and a half each—potentially inflating the minute count without reflecting a proportionate increase in unique viewers.
Moreover, Nielsen's data mainly covers U.S. streaming behavior, and global counts might be underrepresented. Yet, despite these limitations, the consistent pattern across multiple series indicates that Ahsoka has noticeably lower engagement and reach than prior hits.
