There's several reasons.

  1. Star Wars burnout is real and it's not considered a high quality franchise anymore.
  2. Despite popular opinion, people do in fact like Star Wars for Jedi's, Skywalkers, lightsabers, the force, the Sith, etc and taking that out of it to have a more political thriller style show isn't necessarily as appealing as some fans always thought it would be.
  3. It starts out slow so you add in all that and it becomes a turn off at the beginning for some people when you compound the above on it.

To your point number 2 you have to asks yourself if being a Star Wars story is more compelling or being a political thriller is more compelling. I’d say a good political thriller is more appealing at this point than another Star Wars story.

Think it’s mostly 2 and 3, but 2 isn’t talked about enough. I’m pretty entertained by most Star Wars offerings for what they already are, and didn’t really need a prestige TV offering to fill any gaps I felt in my Star Wars or TV fandoms.
