Yves Guillemot stated that the failure of Star Wars Outlaws to meet sales expectations is due to the brand currently facing challenges. The release of Outlaws followed closely after The Acolyte, which was plagued with controversies affecting the perception of the franchise. Skeleton Crew also struggled to garner interest, trailing significantly behind earlier successes like The Mandalorian. Although Star Wars is not deemed entirely irrelevant, its influence and audience engagement have diminished since its peak between 2016 and 2019.
Yves Guillemot attributed the failure of Star Wars Outlaws to the brand being in 'choppy waters.' He noted the difficulties faced by recent Star Wars media.
The Acolyte faced significant controversy, including backlash against its cast and review-bombing, which obscured genuine criticism of the show’s narrative and production.
Skeleton Crew premiered to disappointing viewership, recording only 384 million minutes of watch time, starkly lower than its predecessors, The Mandalorian’s seasons.
While Star Wars is not entirely fading, its current impact is less potent compared to the strong presence it held from 2016 to 2019.
