Kathleen Kennedy Steps Down as President of Lucasfilm:

Star Wars Shake-Up: Kathleen Kennedy Steps Down as George Lucas Protégé Dave Filoni, Exec Lynwen Brennan Take Over Lucasfilm

The change in leadership may mean a new hope for the storied franchise or it could be an attack of the clones by giving fans more of the same.

It really happened?!

It really happened?!

When you hit rock bottom, there’s no way to go but up?

This was only… 15 years overdue.

Yes, I'm happy to hear this news.
Shame so much damage has been done though.

Are they getting rid of the Vi Moradi character in the land? I saw no mention of her.

No one knows her. But, if that graphic floating around is to be believed, she doesn’t fit in the “Original Trilogy” timeline and I can’t imagine they’d spend the money on an entertainment CM when they have actual characters people know and want to see roaming the land.

 

[Tha Realest]

I'd like to see Han Solo in Smuggler's Run...Disney already has all of the Harrison Ford stuff from that era anyway since they did the Indiana Jones rides

Video? Sure. AA? After what they did to Walt? No thanks.

The Indy AA is fine. And during BNW Disney got his full scans.

Here's hoping for a full replacement of all Tomorrowland (except maybe Space Mountain)

They apparently canceled one that was in the planning earlier this decade.

Just read it What do you think the chances of Disney sayin' "now we're going to make 7-9 the way LUCAS wanted?"

Slim to none sadly.

 

[HMF]

How much would it cost them to move Star Tours into GE? It’s way too iconic to lose imo and it’s one of the last remnants of the original MGM park.

They have had no problem getting rid of the other remnants.

 

[HMF]

They should set the Millennium Falcon ride during Shadows of the Empire, because Han would NEVER let random people fly the Falcon. Lando piloting it during RotJ was a special circumstance. Then we could have a Lando animatronic instead of Hondo.

Shadows of the Empire isn't Canon anymore.

 

[HMF]

I’m not gonna dispute your point…I’m just saying that clone wars seems to have Had a pretty dedicated following…I’d say more than the prequels themselves…

Clone Wars actually did quite a bit to fix plot holes and actually ended up making the prequels better though I don't think anything can do that with the sequels, sadly.

 

[HMF]

I think it would be an outright waste of time and money to replace all of the characters in rise with the equivalent original trilogy characters.

I honestly don't think so. As cheap as Disney is if OT stuff sells better, they will lean into it as much as possible

Dave’s no prize.

I sadly have to agree…but I’ll take the change regardless

You wouldn’t prefer the iconic characters over ones that even many Star Wars Followers can’t even remember the names of?

It's already the most popular ride at Disneyland (or top 2). It would be better to just make a new attraction for the OT.

Why not make it even more so? Everest is still popular doesn't make the Yeti any less broken.
