    Star Trek is indeed flourishing (especially Strange New Worlds, in my opinion), but I wouldn’t say Star Wars is stagnating. They just don’t happen to have anything new out right this minute. Many franchises would love to be “stagnating” with shows like The Mandalorian or Andor.

      I think they’re cutting back on releases. I heard about one project getting cancelled, the one show with Jude Law and the crew of kids. But Andor and Mandolorian are amazing, although both will probably be ending soon (I know Andor only has 1 season left). Ahsoka looks like it will be amazing, and sort of bridges a couple of time periods (pre- and post-rebellion), tying heavily into Rebels. But Star Wars still seems to be cooling it a bit now.

      but I agree with @whiskeypickle– the viewer fatigue is real. There’s just SO MUCH SWEU content out there, it’s hard to keep up, and eve when you do, it’s a lot. Star Trek, by contrast, has less, and even Trek has slowed it down a little, although I’m pretty upset that they both cancelled PRO in the middle of production and pulled S01 the way they did. That’s just terrible all around.
