It's sad what has happened to this franchise.

This is on Iger for Katleen Kennedy. The only real fukkup he's had during his tenure as CEO. They invested so much in SW and she fukked up the movies.

I know she is very well compensated for her job but you have to wonder, after she gets fired from this role her career trajectory has to take a nosedive. Being responsible for Star Wars seems like an easy role you use to catapult yourself up the chain so being known as someone who absolutely blew it, how do you bring her aboard to run anything?

not paying to watch this shyt

You know George Lucas chose Kathleen Kennedy to run Lucasfilm. Oh the irony

george strikes again

Reboot 7-9 in a few years using the shyt they made non canon would be my play. Sucks we lost Carrie, but by then they'd be able to CGI her to look completely real even more. Pretend these last 3 don't exist.

i certainly hope not.

trends going downward, thats one of the first things companies look at. SW will always make money off of licenses/toys/etc. That was a given even before George brought her on to run shyt. They can put you in charge and do the same thing. This has not been good for the mainline films.

Star Wars in trouble though. Outside of video games which don’t have to follow the sequel characters, they can only rely for so long on the OT visuals.

This is what happened/happening to Star Trek. The last few series don’t sell merchandise but they rely on pushing Shatner and Nimoy to older audiences.

There are only so many versions of Yavin Luke you can make. They needed to be able to sell every version of Rey possible.

THIS. If fin was the main character cacs would just accept it and buy their kids action figures of fin etc cause they need a male figure no matter what color the main one is. Rey was not likable cause of how they portray her. Poe aight but he ain’t no Jedi. People buying Star Wars battlefront 2 to play as Luke, Vader and stormtroopers. None of these new characters are relateable cause they were handled poorly. Also women ain’t feeling Rey which was a main target audience

Finn leaving a growing First Order brigade would have been way more interesting. Him going to Luke and Leia for help and the audience and Finn realizing the First Order was way bigger than they realized when Ben Solo gets corrupted and destroys the Jedi Temple.

Rey could have been introduced but it wouldn't have the sequel series so indebted to handling the OT characters.

And one of the main weaknesses of this series is that the First Order makes no sense.

It was wild that one of the first marketing martial for TFA was the Knights of Ren. They had all these cool and mysterious characters that people wanted to know more about and see in action. They didn't do shyt with that in the first two movies at all. It's almost like the person creating the characters had nothing to do with the story.

I mean go back to when Star Wars started. Lucas could have started at the beginning with Anakin or stared in the Clone Wars. But he jumped all the way to the midway point with Luke and filled in the necessary backstory.

There was no need to fill comics and toy lines with products. Boba Fett was a bounty hunter. That’s it that’s all we needed to get the story.

Disney knows they have to fill all the auxiliary products with stories so the Knights of Ren or the First Order are passed off to novels and comics.

 

[EBK String]

They needed a young and creative person who loves star wars to manage the franchise not some old Hollywood batshyt feminist.

Bruh they literally were barely even in the first two movies. Boba Fett was actually in the last two movies and did SOMETHING. The Knights of Ren were given nothing. Look at the things that had fans most excited about the new trilogy and look at what they actually gave us.

They don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore. They fukked this all the way up. How you gonna sell comics and novels when the main product is trash?

THIS. I’m thinking the knights of ren were gonna show up in the last Jedi hunting the crew down like akatsuki from naruto and then get finished in rise of skywalker (nah I ain’t watching the 3rd movie) But nope.

she had no business dealing with Star Wars. That part in last Jedi were the lady with the purple hair had no plan but leading everyone on had me heated. Like bytch we running away from the first order and Poe got a plan but you want to ignore him? bytch we have no fuel on this ship what we gonna do? I got the feminist agenda that women should take the lead and second guess or ignore a male that is masculine with a plan.

They should have never had it so close to RotJ, should have been a few decades later.

There was no need to bring any of the old cast back like they did. That story was complete and now they kinda fukked it all up.
