A new Nielsen report cited by Variety said Andor was the most-watched Star Wars property on Disney+ on May 4, 2025, while the sequel trilogy films were absent from the top-streamed titles by generation. [1]
The report said the list also included original-trilogy, prequel-era and other Star Wars titles. But The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker did not make the cut among the most-watched Star Wars titles in the cited data. [1]
Variety said the finding came as the franchise marked May 4, the annual Star Wars day, and that the data pointed to continued audience interest in older and TV-era material rather than the sequel films. The article also argued that the sequel trilogy did not create enough momentum for later stories, and said several follow-on projects have since stalled or been canceled. [1]
The article placed the measurement seven years after The Rise of Skywalker, using the May 4, 2025 viewing figures as the latest benchmark for how Star Wars fans are spending time on Disney+. [1]
