I just picked up this Black Series 3-pack yesterday and this YouTube reviewer pretty much nails the set in his video.
Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

standalone, not saga related, cool. Like Gosling too.
But, it's one of about a dozen Star Wars projects that are somewhere in development (hell)...
Ever since the whole Patty Jenkins teaser video about the Rogue Squadron movie, that (so far) hasn't happened (yet) - I'm skeptical in regards to Star Wars, so much so, that I only believe it, when we get to see actual leaked (people on) set photos.
That whole thing made me distrust teasers...

If they've started casting, it means it's going to happen, but there are also productions in Hollywood like Blade etc. that have a certain cast but have been in development hell for years. If they agree, they can announce it at the celebration by bringing Ryan Gosling on stage.
Considering Coyote vs. Acme and the 1994 Fantastic Four movie, I wouldn't even trust it then.
Don't forget Batgirl.
Getting paid for likeness use?

With viewing numbers like that and the show was still not "cost effective," then it's probably time to revisit the streaming model.
That would be, what, an average of about nine million subscribers watching the whole series (330 minutes)? Compare that to Solo, which made $214m in the US and Canada: if we posit an average ticket price of $8, that'd make ~27m tickets sold, which was considered disastrous. So, The Acolyte reached about roughly a third as many consumers as that.
But wait! It gets worse, because The Acolyte really only makes D+ money if it brings in new/returning subscribers, or subscribers who would have quit if it hadn't been released. One has to assume a certain number of subscribers that watched the show would have subscribed for the same amount of time had it never existed, because they're Disney superfans who will always maintain a subscription in order to always have access to the D+ library. Individuals titles of course build up the overall value of the library over time, and certain shows can have unexpected second lives on streaming (Suits being the big recent example), but in the short term, any individual D+ project's value is best expressed by the number of non-faithful subscriptions it drives. (When I briefly subscribed to D+ to watch Loki S2, for example, Ms. Marvel itself didn't bring Disney any of my money, because I didn't subscribe for access to it, and didn't watch it.)
Obviously, only Disney has the hard data on such subscriber breakdowns, but one has to assume at least a third of The Acolyte's viewers are such die-hard subscribers. Which would mean D+ only really made money on ~6m subscribers, or about one-fifth of the number of Solo's ticket buyers. And Solo, again, was a painful flop.
Yeowch.
