I'm not saying she's blameless in what happened with the franchise, but I think the general weakening of the Star Wars brand was much more of a group effort than any one person. And I think the corporate forces behind that group effort will still very much be present. This 100% Star Wars needs a bit of a creative reset. They need to step back from launching any new saga and just let the franchise breathe a bit. It's one of the most recognizable franchises on earth and a favorite among a lot of talented filmmakers who grew up with it. Try to get some of them to come in pitch the story they want to tell and how they want to tell it. With the only major oversight being tweaks to keep things canon. Stop trying focus on making things they think people will want and just let talented people make good shit. It will work itself out. And it's noy a hard sell either. A lot of people will jump at a chance to work on Star Wars. The problem here is who are they pitching to. Id like Disney to relinquish control to an accomplished filmmaker committee to head talent recruitment. Also stop ballooning the shit out of all these budgets. Just because it's Star Wars doesn't mean everything needs to be hundreds of millions of dollars. You get a lot more room for success when you don't need to recoup $150 million dollars for an 8 episode show. I dont know how this happens tbh. With an old franchise you have lots of people wetting their beaks but that doesnt explain why a tv show that heavily uses LED backdrops costs so much --- When Cameron Was in Egypt's Land <cite>boomgetchopped3 posted [p:984163323] in Kathleen K...
