I will make this very quick. Luminate updated their charts with data from the last seven days earlier today (their cutoff date is always on Thursday at 11:59 pm). Which means Skeleton Crew episode 4 was added. And the show did not make the charts yet again.
Skeleton Crew could be the first Star Wars series never to make the Luminate streaming charts (however, since Luminate is still pretty new only Acolyte was ever on the Luminate charts). We will have to wait for Nielsen and what they are saying, but if Nielsen shows the same trend (and the show would never be on the Nielsen top 10 streaming charts) then Skeleton Crew will become the least watched Star Wars live action series ever and the first to never once break into the top 10 most watched original shows. Even though it is currently the #1 show on Disney+.
The #10 entry on the Luminate charts has 307.3 million minutes. Around this time The Acolyte had a very bad 262 million minutes on the Luminate charts. So in theory, Skeleton Crew could have more than The Acolyte at this point of course, as long as it’s less than 307.3 million minutes. But since Skeleton Crew underperformed The Acolyte in the previous two weeks that seems unlikely.
Lucasfilm is in dire need of some deep soul searching and honest in-depth analysis of the state of Star Wars in 2024 after Kathleen Kennedy burned one too many bridges. It may very well be that The Acolyte finally broke the camel’s back. Also, maybe don’t try to be Stranger Things in space again, even if it’s fun. Why not make something that is, well, Star Wars? What it is known for? Well executed of course. And that’s the crux with almost all of the Disney+ Star Wars series.
