"As such, it made me very excited to see where showrunner Leslye Headland might have taken the Sith Lord next"

I agree with everything they say except this part. The person who drove the car into the ditch doesn't get to drive it home after it's pulled out. That job goes to a more competent driver.

The creative team needs a total overhaul before trying to salvage any of this story, starting at the top.

If they finish Andor and move that creative team over to the Acolyte, recast every remaining character except Manny, and send the old creative team packing then yes. Otherwise I'm not interested in seeing this train wreck continue.

The viewership fell off a cliff because the writing, acting, and story were bad. They were never going to win over the toxic crowd no matter how good it was. Hyping it as the gayest Star Wars ever sealed that crowds opinion.

If the show had actually been good it would have pulled in big enough numbers to keep going. That's the problem, it wasn't very good. If you wanna take big chances and risks you have to be able to nail the basics.

Writing, acting, and structure are all foundational to a good story, and this team failed at them all.

The show was horrible. If they don't do some serious changes on the creative team I won't bother with season 2. Andor and The Mandolorian proved they have some capable people at Disney. This series was hands down the worst they've put out and needs better people at the wheel.
