Guess it's difficult for people to get into the show. As the first episode really isn't that good or interesting to be fair. Most other episodes are excellent though.

I bet lots of people also turn it down because they heard/read it doesn't involve lightsabers or the force, or any big characters from the franchise needing to carry the show. Which honestly makes it much more interesting.

I often recommend the show to others. But it seems like very few catch on. It's similar with Rogue One being probably the best SW movie in the last decade, but hardly got the attention it deserved.
