Despite what you may have heard online, Star Wars is not dead. Not only that, but audiences aren’t giving up on coming back for new Disney+ Star Wars shows as much as you might think. And there is data to prove it.

According to Parrot Analytics, demand for Star Wars TV shows on Disney+ has remained relatively consistent over time. The same can’t be said for Marvel, which has massively scaled back its output in recent years – if audience fatigue is what you’re after, the MCU might actually be the place to do it.

However, that doesn’t seem to be the case with Star Wars. Although Marvel and Star Wars series represent a very small percentage of the content available on Disney+, data for the second quarter of 2024 suggests a high percentage of demand relative to the amount of other content available to watch on the platform .

Which for our purposes means that people don’t get tired of Star Wars at all. Star Wars fans keep coming back for more, even though some claim they’re “done” with it. It really makes you wonder how much of the Star Wars criticism you hear on the internet reflects people’s feelings – whether they come to see Star Wars or not.

There will always be moments when we ask Star Wars to do better. Times when it didn’t live up to our expectations and we wonder where things might go next. But just because Star Wars isn’t perfect doesn’t mean many of us plan on giving up on it. Every new Star Wars series brings something new to the franchise and there’s nothing wrong with sticking around to see what that looks like.

Often we want Star Wars to be the best it can be because we love it. If a show doesn’t work for us, who knows? The next film could be the best we’ve seen so far.
