I don't even think they care that a bunch of losers review bombed it on RT lol. Streaming services justify renewals (especially for expensive shows) with high viewership and the season (series) finale did the worst numbers of the Star Wars shows

Only if they stuck to the premise and told a real Sith origin story.

J.A.P.A.N.
And that was the problem. It was billed as a show about the Sith and it wasn’t.
The way streaming services give up on shows nowadays, Clone Wars and Rebels wouldn't have lasted more than 1 season if it had come out today
“I want the old republic”
*Doesn’t support the old republic*
Granted the show didn’t do any favors but it makes for an uphill climb to see that kinda stuff in the future even more

The show ended up being a pet project for Leslye Headland. If they had actually shown the Old Republic in a real way, and also kept the same fight choreography(which was the only bright spot) then it would have been a success. With a $180 mil budget there was no excuse not to make something watchable.
To me it's like comparing Rings of Power to HotD. Rings had a big budget, but bad writing, acting, and gimmicks. HotD had a tougher road since the last couple seasons of Thrones were MJ on the Wiz tier, but the writers actually wrote scripts BETTER than the source material. The budget of HotD was about the same as the Acolyte's.....but the difference on screen is night and day. The acting on HotD is on a whole other level too.
If Leslye made a show that focused on the Old Republic and really did a deep dive, it would had been fire and people would be looking for Season 2 and who will show up. But she choice to spend 60% of the show around a garbage Jedi plot, lameass witches and the whole twins storyline. Something you would expect on the CW for teenage girls
