I haven't seen it yet, but Skeleton Crew has received good reviews. One 
recent one saying it should have been a movie and would have 
revitalised the franchise.

The "ratings failure" is having these shows exclusive to the single 
Disney+ streaming service. That decision alone means the potential 
audience is a tiny fraction of the overall Star Wars fans because 
nobody can nor wants to keep paying out to all these different 
streaming services just to watch a couple of shows on each one - it's 
simply far too expensive and was doomed to failure from the outset.  :-\

It also isn't helped by Disney's aversion to releasing movies and shows 
on DVD / Blu-Ray / 4K, or only releasing them for a short production 
run.

There are millions of people who want to watch new Star Wars. The problem is

A. All the "Politically Correct" garbage that Kathleen Kennedy
   keeps trying to push out. She needs to be fully kicked out.

B. The ill-fitting garbage being made by idiots who think they
   know how to do Star Wars "better" and/or what it "should
   have been".

The same is happening with many other franchises, including Star Trek, 
Marvel, DC, etc. thanks to a generation of talentless, "Politically 
Correct" hacks in Hollyweird who do not have any real idea what they're 
doing. The only "franchise fatigue" there is is in the fans being tired 
of having to deal with the idiots in charge now destroying the 
franchises.  :-(
