‘The Mandalorian’ Season 4 is not happening, ‘Ahsoka’ season 2 still is, says report (www.forbes.com)

The two biggest news items in there, I’d say:

Ahsoka saw a decline of 829 million minutes for its debut, around Mando season 3 levels, to 570 million for the rest of its run. But still, season 2 is happening, and it will go into production next year, leaving a sprawling gap between seasons of the show. Almost three years, most likely.

The report says that the Mandalorian and Grogu movie is replacing season 4 of The Mandalorian, rather than joining it, where THR says “it also looks like Disney spent many years and untold capital struggling develop a new Star Wars movie and its best idea was an extra-long episode of a TV show.”

...

The end result on the TV side is…there is literally one show that is still considered to be actively ongoing, Ahsoka, and that second season will arrive almost three years after the first. Andor has season 2 coming but it’s over after that. Skeleton Crew has to perform well to be renewed and we have no idea what it’s budget is.

Well, they're not going to kill Dave Filoni's baby I suppose.

The 'Ahsoka' TV show was 'fine', though overlong and occasionally silly. I watched a fan-edit recently, that fixed many of these issues, added some extra VFX, and proved once-again that a lot of these TV shows should have been movies. I don't want to oversell it, but I found the edit to be a more enjoyable, coherent and cohesive story. It's available here: https://www.kaipattersonfilms.com/ahsoka (I'm going to give his Boba Fett edits a try next)

This lines up perfectly with the “Is Disney bad at Star Wars” article also posted recently.

Or you know, they could do EU content.

That's pretty much what they've been doing really.
