Star Wars Megathread

Kathleen Kennedy being edged out the door?

Maybe?

Kennedy might be preparing her departure, she might move up the ladder.  She has taken a lot of flack, but SW ain't the only franchise of Disney that's under performing.  She's only in charge of LF.  Besides, WB isn't doing any better with their super heroes.

They really don't like Kathleen Kennedy

A lot of the flak could have been avoided by bringing the old gang back together and giving them a good send-off.
And the virtue-signalling combined with bad writing didn't help either.

I find it funny how parts of the fandom are attributing all successes to Filoni and all failures to Kennedy

Filoni has his issues too, let there be no mistake.

Who was most responsible for the  sequels? They'll get my scorn

Filoni's certainly no failproof - Ahsoka's writing was surprisingly weak - but he's been part of all the best Star Wars stories since the OT not made by Tony Gilroy.  More than willing to see what he comes up with.

I think the problem is that the answer is "nobody". There was absolutely no plan to them.

A lack of plan falls to the top person, so Kennedy it is! Boo Kennedy, boo!

I've read that it was the woke mobs who are ultimately responsible for ruining the sequels. Is this true?

[Jacob]

How were the sequels supposed to be woke?

I guess the thinking was that there was no plan for the original trilogy and that turned out fine, so...

But absolutely - you know you're going to make three  of these things - how can you not sketch out the story in advance?

[Barrister]

How were the sequels supposed to be woke?

Too many women and POC.

No, really.  I believe that's it.  There was no white male protagonist.

How were the sequels supposed to be woke?

The hero was a female.  There was also a subtle hint that Poe was gay.
 Young straight males everywhere are left heroless.  Not a single example left to follow anywhere.

FunkMonk has been making a number of witty tongue in cheek comments in a number of threads over the last while.
