Current Events > Star Wars and Kathleen Kennedy (Forbes article)

(+) Yeah! (+)

TL;DR: she isn't going anywhere (unless she chooses to) because under her lead the first four new SW movies are averaging 1.2b gross per film, and critical acclaim.

This is exactly what I said (plus box office figures) when all the idiotic talk of firing her started. To paraphrase Mark Hamil, get a life, nerds, and get some perspective too.

Yeah, the whiny Star Wars fanboys are ridiculous. They use a particular brand of nostalgia, denial, and absurdly high expectations.

Not that I have any stake in Kathleen Kennedy's job, but I dont feel like whitelisting Forbes on my adblock so...

Does the article address TLJ's massive drop-off and Solos budget problems?

Ultimately though, meh. Putting all the blame on Kennedy is dumb. I dont care what happens to her. Im checking out after IX anyways lol >~>

Star Wars sells itself. You're delusional if you think shes the reason they make a billion dollars. They could have used anyone less annoying and arrogant and sexist than her and they would be fine - if not better. Hamil needs a life. You're not Skywalker bro.

It doesn't, but it does address the directorial drama of Solo.

So, it wouldn't be difficult for me to say "This is just one article and supposition, but look over HERE and check out all these RUMORS I have!"

the Disney movies are still garbage

I used to feel this way, until Solo.
