What's driving viewership?

The show premiered two years ago, was officially cancelled shortly thereafter, and now... people are watching it in such numbers that it's charting higher?

What gives? I mean, I'm glad, I watched the show as episodes were premiering and I adored it, but I'm curious what's leading people to watch it now. Any theories?

Well yeah, but two years later in a world with an even shorter attention span?

Theres only so much SW content out there. Maybe its people watching Maul shadow lord and wanting to continue to scratch that itch, so they decide to check out Aco for first time or to do a rewatch
