Wait until the last episode airs and then go in with an open mind and watch the entire series and judge for yourself.

Oh come on, the net will tell me what to think of it in seconds. Why would I spend all that time....
And then if the audience score was good then we would check the critics score… if that was good… then let’s check the top critics score… and so on… am I in the ball park?

I hear the writing is getting worst and worst as it progresses. They seem to have no idea what lore is. Is it really that hard to stick with what came before? Trying to write yourself out of a corner by pretending something didn't happen is just bad, bad, story telling, pure and simple. I have a feeling there will be no season 2 and no one will care.

The people already attacking her are evil scum who don't deserve to be given the chance to send more harassment her way.
It's totally fine if people don't like the show, but the hate thrown at the cast is inexcusable.

Not only that now you have death threats to the owners of Wookieepedia for just keeping the site updated with the latest canon from the show -
Toxic Star Wars Fans Send Death Threats After Wookieepedia Change
Star Wars fans are going to a whole new kind of low by sending death threats to people who edit Wookieepedia.

But of course it doesn't exist in any meaningful way....
No thanks. Bye!

Disney killed Star Wars. The toxic fans are literally beating a dead horse...

Suit yourself, was just making a friendly suggestion. No one is making your watch it.
Well I can honestly say I tried.

No, the point was all the Star Wars shows are well watched.
Even the least watched one, which is also my personal favourite. Thus far they haven't had a true streaming bomb yet for viewership.
There's still plenty of time for this to prove otherwise though.

Oh I'm tuning in for this weeks' stroll through sets and scenery with actors doing very little but show off their wardrobe in about 50 minutes.
Yeah it might beat out Bobs Burgers for a couple weeks.
This is freaking Star Wars.
Except for Mando these shows are not “well watched”.

It doesn't ... unless you count one rando who sent an anonymous threat to a stranger as a "meaningful" encapsulation of an entire group of millions of fans. It shouldn't happen; it should be prosecuted; but it also isn't a representation of pre-Disney Star Wars fandom.
Oh the anonymous threats I received on Twitter during Covid and the George Floyd protests! It never occurred to me that every activist and politician on the opposing side of those issues was responsible for a couple of anonymous strangers with an Twitter account. I also didn't run to the internet (or the police) and play the victim for status points, either. I just ignored it, like a normal person who isn't terminally online.

They are all amongst the highest watched things on the platform. Mando is the highest original series.
Is that the benchmark, it's only well watched if it's the absolute best?
It's actually far more to your liking if the premiere was well watched and everyone drops off the series as it rolls on. Which may very well be the case, we don't have any other data than the premiere, which was somewhere in the range of "strong".
It feels like you guys are only satiated if everything is a failure to the extreme degree, but that doesn't change the metrics. Like I said, you may experience great joy if the viewership metrics tank. That says a lot more about the series.

So you run Wookieepedia and know for a fact it was one single rando?
And lets say you're right it was a single rando, the rest of the fandom across the board needs to speak up and say that isn't tolerated and doesn't represent who "we" are. But yet I've seen very little in terms of speaking out against this. In fact its gotten worse as there are now claims of other death threats and lawsuits and such from Youtubers.
So its not calming down, it seems to be getting worse.
