Your daily reminder that the best Star Wars content since 1980 came out less than a year ago, and had her as exec producer.

“Vast majority” is not data, and the buck does not stop with Kennedy - she has to report to Iger and Chapek, and they set the pace.

“Hardcore fans” are a tiny minority of people who love and watch Star Wars.

Yup. I was 13 when RotJ came out and I walked out of the theater muttering many of the same complaints people had about The Force Awakens - a mediocre retread of ANH with an emphasis on toys. Even Gary Kurtz parted ways with Lucas over his change in priorities.

Your daily reminder that you need therapy. Bob Iger set an unrealistic, aggressive release schedule by announcing a release date to shareholders before they had a script locked down. That scheduled caused the three films to have overlapping pre-production that further undermined quality (the scripts for VIII and IX…

It’s not destroyed, it’s still there, just as strong as ever. The world could do well without your fragile snowflake ass, though.

Lol. She did nothing of the sort. Even if you don’t like any of the new stuff, the old stuff is still there for you to enjoy. So go read/watch that.

Nope, they care about people’s opinion on the movies, as expressed in dollars spent. The vast majority of audience members have never heard of Kathleen Kennedy, and couldn’t care less who she is. Heck, the vast majority of hardcore Star Wars fan had never heard of Kathleen Kennedy, despite her being #2 at Lucasfilm…

I don’t think the question is at all why Germain believed it, if he even did, he’s a journalist, he’s reporting on stuff, which includes stuff like Cameron claiming he can get the movies out at X rate.

Well let’s not go crazy. Phantom Menace has neat ideas and worldbuilding, but it’s a mess of a film kinda saved by a truly epic third act and a hell of a fight. It’s not offensively bad but it’s not good and really struggles with the fact that Lucas can’t edit himself and nobody is around to tell him no. Hell, most of…

Yeah, I’ll go see things in a franchise I like, but I’m not above being critical of it either. Those two things are allowed to coexist you know.

counterpoint: Lucas made the prequels, The Holiday Special, and the remastered re-releases. I guess his tenure of 5 good pieces of media vs the remainder of what he oversaw means the Lucasfilm years were also a wash right?

The only reason people are leaving disappointed is because they’ve ascribed this genius quality to Star Wars that was never there. The franchise has always been hokey and badly-to-OK written. The movies are fun, but it’s not Shakespeare and I’m not sure when or why we all started thinking that they were.

People are…

overstatement of the year maybe? Star Wars seems to be chugging along nicely and despite what you may say, still produces fantastic content. 

What in the long history of James Cameron in general and "Avatar" in the specific made you believe that releasing one of those every other year was an attainable goal?

honestly good. say what you will about Marvel but everyone can agree the movies havent been very good lately. a lot of it can be chalked up these predertimed releases being held to so rigidly, also personal superhero fatigue.

“Everything I don’t like was made by mean old woman KK! Everything good I like was made by nice men Favreau and Filoni! I understand film business!”

Good. Put all of Hollywood on hold until writers get what they deserve.

Your daily reminder that Kathleen Kennedy has been in tjis business for decades and neither knows who you are nor care about your uninformed opinion.

You guys need major therapy for your KK Derangement Syndrome
