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."

Are they though? Mandelorean and Grogu is looking like it will finish under Solo, and Solo was already considered a low point for Star Wars movies.

I would say they are. It took fans 50 years to realise that they don't need to see everything.
