Clone wars season comes out in a month. TLJ referenced them. They don't deserve reverence.nuLucasFilm has thus far shown 0 reference or reverence to the prequels. This being announced in the first place seemed like a fluke to me but what do I know
The Kathleen Kennedy hate continues to be obnoxious and baffling. Has everything worked smoothly? Of course not. Has she overseen some garbage? Yes (tRoS).
She has also produced an excellent film, TLJ. And most of you that hate that film also like the Mandalorian, which you conveniently give her zero credit for.
We literally have people in here posting that her not liking a script means it must be great. Kennedy, a producer on films such as ET, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Munich, Roger Rabbit, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, etc. apparently knows nothing of storytelling.
She has made mistakes but the amount of hate she receives is ridiculous.
I'm only waiting for this series to be released, to be good, and then I can abandon Star Wars completely.
While I would agree, they're not really the same situations with the most recent one not making since and we don't even know if it's true.Remember that time they approved the script, direction, cast, and all other aspects of production on a Star War and then completely scrapped everything two weeks from the end of filming and started over
They're not exactly running a tight ship there.
Like I said, KK herself comfirmed at D23 the scripts are done:
And 6 months later she's now expressing her disinterest in them? Scripts that they have probably sitting on for much longer than 6 months?
Kathleen Kennedy has the final say on The Mandalorian too, I love how "Kathleen Kennedy bad EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO SW STUFF I LIKE WHICH I'M SURE SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH"" is always the narrative.Fire Kennedy and every single person that is involved in Star Wars descion making outside of Mandalorian. Fucking trash.

The prequels don't deserve reverence. Also, this was LITERALLY yesterday:nuLucasFilm has thus far shown 0 reference or reverence to the prequels.
2019 was in general a good year for SW. The only big flub was TROS.
It is.
But to me, Star Wars is the story of the Skywalker family (And Obi Wan as an exception). After what they did on the Sequel Trilogy I'm no longer interested in what comes next. Now that the Skywalkers are done, I'm also done.
That's what his comics are and those are great.Tbh I don't really care about this show. what kind of interesting shit is there to tell that wasn't shown already in the prequels, next thing you know is that they will make a Vader tv show about him killing people as fetch quests by the emperor.
My point was about consistency, and I would argue that Star Wars has been far more inconsistent. Higher highs but much lower lows. But most importantly, the MCU felt like it was building toward something and it indisputably stuck the landing with the first Avengers movie.The MCU had a way bumpier start than Disney Star Wars and anyone saying otherwise is using revisionist history. Lets not pretend like the start of Thor, Hulk, or Cpt America were home runs.

I've always been confused at why nobody wanted a Solo prequel but many want Obi-Wan. Just felt like something we really don't need. The Mandalorian was mostly great so more stuff like that with characters we've never met is what I'd want.Good. What the fuck was it gonna be about? Ewan sitting in the desert and jerking off for an hour?
Move on from the PT/OT era, FFS.
People would eat up a show about Darth Vader hunting Jedi until the sun explodesTbh I don't really care about this show. what kind of interesting shit is there to tell that wasn't shown already in the prequels, next thing you know is that they will make a Vader tv show about him killing people as fetch quests by the emperor.

Yes, yes it is like that. Like, read any "Bad SW news" thread on Era, compare the amount of times he's brought up compared to her. Like, genuinely do that.She gets the blame because she's the head of Lucasfilm. Also it's not like people don't drag Iger for this mess occasionally.
And Obi-wan prequel is feasible because Ewan McGregor is young enough to still play him, or better yet, old enough. As Obi-wan looked like this in 4:I've always been confused at why nobody wanted a Solo prequel but many want Obi-Wan.
Sure and stuff like this should remain as comics or books, not every SW thing should become a movie or a show unless you want a SW fatigue, when you sit on a gold mine like Star Wars you don't want to hand out pennies if you know what I mean.
But Horn and Iger are above her who end up getting the final say in a lot (See Horn's involvement in Gunn's initial firing from Guardians).She gets the blame because she's the head of Lucasfilm. Also it's not like people don't drag Iger for this mess occasionally.
Talent can diminish over time though. People get old. She's clearly past it now. If a person who produced those great films you mentioned, can also produce a turd like ROS, they should probably retire.We literally have people in here posting that her not liking a script means it must be great.

Iger needs to get rid of herKathleen Kennedy was not happy with the script?
Then the script was fucking great.

2. Rogue One is greenlit and Gareth Edwards is chosen to direct. KK decides the film is a mess and Edwards a hack so she has the entire third act reshot and directed by Tony Gilroy over Edwards objections. The result is a terrible film.
