This isn't a joke? The fans flustrated by behind-the-scenes turmoil with multiple firings and plots we were waiting anxious for only to get the finger actually got her removed? Well, fans do have a voice after all.
So...how about Luke teleporting like Hamill believes he did?

If this isn't a joke, It's a START.
There are TONS of people at lucasfilm that are still loyal to her AND believe in her agenda. they need to go too! if you hire dave filoni to right the ship, like they should, he needs his staff in there to fix a VERY large whole. It's sad. I had ZERO opinion of her when she was first announced. i did not know about her, OR her history..but after revisionist lucas, I was hopeful someone with a plan was coming in. oh, how FAST I wished lucas was back.

I don't like how the "excerpt" ascribes to the Kennedy "redeemed Star Wars from the awful prequels with a ANH remake" narrative, which is a quantifiably FAKE narrative.

I definitely agree that Kathleen Kennedy has been more "Warner Brothers" than "Kevin Feige."
But that's not really a good comparison. She basically has been steering the Star Wars ship to follow in the rebooted Star Trek path... reboot, tell the same stories, young pretty actors, safe predictable stories matched with incredibly bizarre creative choices. J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson seem to be sci-fi relaunch poison... except financially, which is unfortunate.

news flash movie web. She IS at fault. her and her bosses at disney. it's all her direction. Getting rid of her is a start, but there's lots of others that need to follow with her.

I need to watch the prequels for myself and determine just how truly awful they are.
But as a consumer who believes in artistic integrity, I'll take a bad original story over a soulless retelling any day. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to needling my J.J. Abrams voodoo doll...

without going over again, IMHO the short list.
bad acting. bad dialogue. Jar Jar (thankfully reduced later) Hayden Christensen (see first two). If you had fixed those few issues, the Prequels would have been FAR more enjoyable, as evidenced by Clone Wars.

The original report said Kasdan and Kinberg are in the story group so I'm assuming the rest of the report is BS too.

there was enough new, and enough GOOD new, to earn it a nice nostalgia spot in the fans and franchise. I have a feeling the same will be true with Star wars rebels. But, R1? People may like it, but what new did it introduce? TFA? TLJ? Solo? nothing really memorable about ANY of these movies. from pacing, to editing to story. They are just made to make a quick billion and quickly forgotten about.

The prequels would have benefited from not being helmed by Lucas himself.
The guy's an idea man, not a showrunner.

Not gonna care until it's official, but I can see Disney being mad that Ep.8 didn't do as well with merchandise and now Solo underperforming which is a bigger deal.
A more interesting topic than bashing Kathleen since we've done that enough in TLJ thread Is, what can Disney do to turn the ship in the right direction. I'm not even sure how they'd be able to get ME back on board 100% like I was before Ep.7, to me the damage is already done, similar to the DCEU. I'd definitely start by taking a break after Ep.9, hope JJ can salvage the trilogy somehow and then start with a new movie set in a totally different time and place. Quote:
The prequels have tons of bad things in it, but nothing came close to ruining Star Wars for me, Ep.3 tried hard but not enough. I could put up with the bad decisions, it's actually the Sequel Trilogy that's made me like the PT less, I mean if I don't want to put up with the ST crap why should I with the PT even if not as damaging? |

I'm clearly outside of the entry window for the Prequels, which I found uninteresting, and all flash with no bang.

The problem with the prequel trilogy is the same with the sequel trilogy, its not the greatness and originality of the original trilogy. Aside from Anakin's impatience in Mace defeating Palpitine being the entire driving force of the original trilogy and making a really dumb character in a non cyborg Anakin, Revenge of the Sith is great.
