Part 6/8:
The Mandalorian, once a flagship series, has seen its ratings drop by 25% from season to season. The return of Luke Skywalker was meant to rejuvenate interest, but the pattern of inconsistent storytelling, controversial characterizations, and flailing content has left fans frustrated and disengaged.
What's Behind the Chaos?
The instability appears rooted in longstanding mismanagement at the highest levels of Lucasfilm under Kathleen Kennedy. Since taking over, Kennedy’s leadership has been marked by a series of high-profile failures, creative controversies, and a lack of coherent vision. Many fans argue that until a major overhaul occurs, Star Wars will continue its decline.
