It seemed aimed at teens and young adults who like moody genre stories with lots of social conflict and tangled relationships. The same audience that watches the CW (Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, Riverdale) and who Star Trek Discovery was aimed at. I guess studio execs figured the CW audience + Star Wars fans = $$$.
