Throughout that entire year period, the Clone Wars, with not even on air for nearly eight months of out that 12-month period, was the fourth-most in-demand digital original streaming series and earned the 24th highest in-demand expressions of any show, with over 36 times the U.S. for streaming content.Įven if you go back an entire year, to the beginning of July, 2019, only Stranger Things, the latest season of which premiered that month, had a higher week peak-level than Clone Wars.
#ALMOST NO CLONE WARS CONTENT TV#
Backing up the claim about the passion of fans for Clone Wars being instrumental in the success of Clone Wars, Parrot’s Wade Dayson-Penney provided the following chart showing up demand expressions for Clone Wars and The Mandalorian:Įven more impressive, while The Mandalorian had overall longer heights of demand expression, at its weekly peak, Clone Wars surpassed not just The Mandalorian, but all series streaming content, both digital originals and all streaming TV series, so far in 2020 that’s right, no other series reached the peak level of viewing in one week as Clone Wars, which had close to 130 times the average amount of demand expressions in the U.S. “Ratings” for streaming content is an iffy concept, but Parrot Analytics has a useful substitute measure involving individual consumption (i.e., downloading and streaming), social media posting and engagement “for” the content, or consuming material about the content (e.g., videos or articles), putting these together into a measure the analysis firm terms “demand expression.” It is a weighted measuring system, so downloading a pirate copy is weighted much more than a like or a retweet of content, and a personally written post fits in between. Yeah, this has Clone Wars in line with shows like Breaking Bad, Chernobyl, Game of Thrones, and Mr. 4, both having these be the four final episodes I have references before in ascending order. 4 and for shows with 5,000 or more user votes: No. Maybe a pandemic helped, but the numbers for Clone Wars speak for themselves, all without the huge marketing/media boost that Mandalorian got before its release.Īnd perhaps now, besides giving Disney a full-proof roadmap, the world is finally awakening to the amazingness that is Clone Wars, and the stunning number prove this.įor one thing, Clone Wars has four of the top thirty TV episodes of all time and three of the top ten by user ratings with at least 1,000 viewer ratings or more: No. And what’s so satisfying for Clone Wars fans is that it partly outperformed The Mandalorian almost entirely on the backs of the show’s fans and the word-of-mouth buzz In contrast, I saw almost no marketing for Clone Wars. But with the final arc of final-season of Clone Wars, we see that Disney is capable of producing 10/10-level amazingly deep, resonant, built-up, theatrical-quality, and epic Star Wars content with transcendent payoffs-pretty much every moment of the final four episodes -that can earn rave reviews from critics and fans alike and actually unite, not divide, the fanbase.Įven so, it was clear that Disney put way more effort into marketing The Mandalorian, even creating a separate behind-the-scenes show about the making of the show. These are five things The Clone Wars changed, and five that it kept from the "Legends" brand.Not only was it refreshing it was not trying to be all things to all people, but the idea of telling scaled-down Star Wars stories in live-action format is welcome.

Despite committing to significant changes to the timeline and continuity, the writers of The Clone Wars animated series seemed to have a soft spot for what had been established by this alternate continuity. Now, all "Expanded Universe" content is considered to be a part of the "Legends" brand. Before this, all products outside of the films were called "Expanded Universe" content and given essentially the same treatment. However, this isn't a new practice for the franchise.

Since Disney's first major move for the property was the development of a sequel trilogy, all of the novels, comic books, and video games that occurred within the years after Return of the Jedi were moved outside of continuity into a separate branding called "Star Wars Legends." If there's one thing Star Wars fans are still very opinionated about, it's what Disney has done with the brand since acquiring it in 2012.
