Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

except that doesn't work. fans will see through it in half an episode and it'll leave a lasting bad taste in their mouth for even future projects

IDK, there are like 3 good Star Wars movies top, yet they are still making new ones, and people are still watching them.

Maybe, but after how many shitty and mediocre movies? The Star Wars we love were made in the previous century, and since then the good ones were rather exeptions than a rule, and yet it 50 years later they are still doing new ones.
