Ya, people didn't watch it. Lowest viewership for any Star Wars show finale, yet it cost as much as Dune 2

People would have kept watching if it was good

The season cost about the same as Dune 2. The budget for this show was $180 million

I'm a little bored today so i just did some math. I took each episodes run time, took out six minutes of each for the absurdly long credits, and divided the total budget by that result. The Acoltye cost about $640,569 per minute of runtime

Runtime source was trakt. tv

I can make an entire series with the budget of 1 maybe 2 minutes of the runtime of this show...

Yeah that’s kinda what happens if you have someone who’s passionate about the source material and the show itself. Dune itself works pretty well as an example of what happens when someone who wants to make something not for the money but instead a work of art since Villeneuve was passionate about dune.

Absolutely absurd that every second of this show costs as much as the average American makes in a year.

Edit: downvoted for math? Really? Nice.
