    I’m confused. It has nothing to do with Star Wars, but you’re calling it Star Wars. Why not give it a new name and just say it’s not Star Wars? Oh, perhaps you’re cashing in on a Luke-rative franchise? I hope it’s good.

    1. Indy

      Agree. But for me, I will not see any new so called Star Wars as long as Kennedy is there to destroy it.

    2. Andy

      The only thing that’ll save the franchise is branching out. CG Luke is by far the worst addition to the story.

    Real question is I thought this dumbass was leaving lucasfilm?

      If you mean KK, she’ll never leave. Not until her cold, dead bony fingers are crowbarred from her desk and she has shamed and humiliated every single beloved male character that Lucas (and Spielberg) spent decades developing. Disney realised they were missing the young male market that everybody liked, so they bought LFL, got KK and she turned it into a weak girl brand that nobody likes. Disgrace.

    Another cluster f*** from Kathleen Kennedy. Hard pass.

    Star Wars is dead. KK killed it, buried it, dug it up, urinated on it and buried it again. Now she’s digging it up once more to plague us with another turd. Thanks Kathleen.

  5. Real Star Wars

    With the 50th anniversary in 2027 and we still the crap from Kennedy

    Way to go to capitalize on the franchise

    1. Barefoot Marines

      How will it ‘Capitalise’ the franchise? You’ve got to put butts in seats in theaters, and there won’t be enough of them to break even, much less capitalize on it!
      KK’s not going anywhere because of whom she’s friends with, and they’ll further ruin Disney and close the doors instead of listening to customers and empty theater seats!

  6. Peter Neumeier

    Why doesn’t Bob fire Kathleen Kennedy? Does she have incriminating or embarrassing pictures of him or the Disney board? As much push-back as Disney has got about her, they don’t seem to understand the fan base or what is expected. No more PC or DEI-based plots, which is exactly what is going to be produced, based on history.

    Oh I just can’t wait for the force to be female, for Ryan Gosling’s entire mission to be to realise what a stupid dumb, straight, greedy white guy he is who fumbles about getting everything wrong until 1 (or 2) females enter, roll their eyes at his idiocy and tell him what to do while he goes ‘Duuh, OK then’ and then he bumbles and accidentally saves the day just because of the females help. Standard KK film. Hard pass.

    No one wants this. Their problem is they don’t listen to the community. They want to do their “own” thing i feel like KK gets enjoyment out of ruining star wars. I can tell everyone 99% of star wars fans have better ideas. What’s next? A movie or show about star wars fashion? lol. Saying they want to move away from the Skywalker saga and still always need at least 1 force sensitive character. Like those are supposed to be rare, I know everyone is “force sensitive” in a way but being powerful enough to use the force is not that common. Just make a different Sci-fi/ Sci-fantasy universe so I dont have to connect this trash to the amazing star wars franchise. Saying they want to make different stories but still clinging to star wars things like the force…thats pathetic

    Go ahead and make it, I won’t watch and I’ll cancel my Disney+ as a protest in destroying star wars .

  10. Timmie

    Disney knows how to destroy great franchises.

  11. Andy

    Sure are a lot of salty idiots commenting here. Either that or a bunch of bots that show up every time they see Kennedy’s name, like it’s not Filoni and Abrams responsible for how shit SW has become.

    I’d love it to be true that they’re stepping away from the Skywalkers but considering their first step is a movie based on a garbage nostalgia bait tv show (season 1 was mostly good though) made by a guy who just can’t help himself and for their second step they hired the director of the of the biggest nostalgia bait movies of all time, I frankly don’t believe them.

    We’ll see though!

  12. Pablo Honey

    The wreckage that is Star Wars. I can’t wait until Kathleen Kennedy has turned the Lucasfilm acquisition into a write off.

  13. Aw cute… All the little star wars babies are throwing their toys out of the pram, over Kennedy and how they don’t like star wars or woke stuff. Waaa waaa waaa! Someone call a wambulance!
    What a bunch of pathetic whinging babies. Get a life and while you’re at it, a clue! 🤣

      How has Disney not gotten the message? Kennedy is box office poison! I swear, Bobby Iger is literally trying his best to loose another billion from the house of mouse’s value to its stockholders. Literally illegal. If I owned Disney stock, I wou be
      demanding the company answer why it is deliberately eating itself. It has to be a criminal conspiracy.

  14. It is with great sadness and regret that we announce a deceased body, preliminarily identified as ‘ Star Wars ‘ has been discovered in an alleyway close to Disney corporate HQ. Police are treating the death as ‘ suspicious ‘ but have given no further information. Unconfirmed reports suggest that a Kathleen Kennedy has been taken in to assist in enquiries into what other sources are calling ‘ a murder ‘.

    How will it ‘Capitalize’ the franchise? You’ve got to put butts in seats in theaters, and there won’t be enough of them to break even, much less capitalize on it!

    Leave it to the current powers that be to stomp on the Star Wars Legacy with the upcoming 50th anniversary. Disney will pull out all the stops at the theme parks while turning its back on what Star Wars is at its core. Yes, we love the Skywalker saga but all of the spinoffs (Mandalorian, Andor, Bad Batch, etc.) know that Star Wars is the Rebellion and the Empire. Yes, we love our characters and we can be introduced to more, but at its heart, it needs to be Star Wars and not just a space movie under the SW franchise. Can’t we send Kathleen on her way to make a Jurassic movie without dinosaurs or a Godfather movie without the mafia? I’d throw in a couple of bucks to send her to ruin another franchise.
