This almost has to be incel behavior.

when you get right down to it, how simple many modern day feats of technology are at their core

^ This (though I loved the Solo movie) is exactly correct. 

By any measure Kennedy is one of the most successful producers in Hollywood history. But most of her successes predate her tenure at Lucasfilm, so they’re the kinds of movies her detractors have never seen or likely never heard of. 

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

The weird thing, and one that makes me appreciate the movie on some level, is that TPM is essentially what Lucas always intended Star Wars to be. If you go back and read the earliest drafts of what would become the movie we call A New Hope today, it’s not really that different from the tone or style of the prequels. He…

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…

Don’t forget the two shit Ewok TV movies we got instead of Prime Luke. Yay being bitter about a toy deal your secrecy was the cause of!

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.

Oh, I wouldn’t argue with any of that. RotJ has honestly felt like a mess to me since I revisited it as a teenager. Luke and Leia being siblings felt totally random and unnecessary (it was apparently an eleventh-hour decision Lucas made once he realized he wasn’t going to make the sequel trilogy with Luke’s sister),…

Star Wars was wrecked when the fucking prequels came out. Also you people are such hypocrites, because you want to blame KK for every perceived “failure” but you also don’t credit her for the shit you love, like Mando, Batch Batch, Andor, or whatever. There’s zero chance you hate all new SW content, so whichever thing…

It’s like they’ve forgotten how long she’s been part of the franchise. Or else they just need an easy name to blame it all on after they’re done watching those Youtube videos with the angry thumbnail image and red and white words including “woke.”

It certainly did (I wasn’t a big fan myself), but coming five months after, in a very competitive holiday window, with a tumultuous development to where it didn’t have a real trailer until it nearly released, it just lacked the event anticipation a SW film feeds on, and a SW movie ideally should not just be something…

Yeah, it’s generally forgotten today that the general consensus among fans back in the ‘90s was that Return of the Jedi was a mediocre sellout movie, at least until Phantom Menace came out. And now RotJ is in the Library of Congress, and TPM is approaching “beloved classic” status.

“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!”

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

Be who you want to be, love who you want to love, a beautiful message. This movie should piss off the low lives.
