Stillā¦if any truth thatās crazy. Itās crazy that they are busing chapek THIS much. All Disney dirty laundry for a decade was caused by the guy at the end?Bob Chapek isn't going to jail for doing some creative accounting. If everyone who did that went to jail, Hollywood would be one big prison.
Thatās your big problem? Not tripling the prices in 20 years while adding no capacity and building timeshares?if Iger brings back magical express the planets would have aligned. Really kinda doubt it will ever happen but one can only hope.
Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy not if but when.
So after her, who's next? Also, I was so wrong

Rumor: Lucasfilm Head Kathleen Kennedy Could Be Fired Very Soon ā World of Reel
With Bob Iger returning as Disney CEO, there are rumors swirling that Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy might be on the chopping block.www.worldofreel.com
The tremblant village was copied and built at Stratton. Very āDisneyā feel thereThis is why I would have liked to have seen Disney Parks and Resorts revive Walt's old idea of a ski resort somewhere. Or at least I would have, before the Imagineering dept. was gutted. Something like Mont Tremblant resort, which looks exactly like something Joe Rohde would have designed.
Disney seems unable to think outside a warm weather box, however.
ā¦And I get accused of obsessingOy vey. Yes, a YouTuber 'heard' that KK was going to get fired right after Indy 5, or maybe right before.
1. What company decides to fire a top executive five months in advance, and then let's the cat out of the bag about it? Crazy.
2. All the second tier blogs quote this spurious rumor and in repeating it so often, people think it *must* have some truth to it.
3. This is about the fifteenth time the Internet echoed out this rumor over the past decade. Countless vloggers swearing a good inside contact was saying she was about to get fired. And it never came about. Just cryin' wolf at this point.
4. Iger likes KK. He personally took the blame off of her for Solo (pushing for a release when the film wasn't ready and the theaters were saturated with the sequel trilogy). And he took the blame off of her for locking SWL into the prequel timeline (he thought the $2B box office for TFA was a sign that the public was totally on board with it).
5. Since the rumors of KK being fired have been bandied about, her contract has been renewed 3 times.
6. The hate-club blames her for every SW content they don't like recounting in detail about how she personally was involved in ruining it. At the same time, with regard to SW content they *do* like, this hate-club spins a yarn about how she is frozen out of her own division and has no power at all and other creatives made the good stuff.
7. Are there people who don't like her? Most likely. That's usually the case in most companies. Backstabbing gossip is not the same thing as fact and reality.
Horse bleepThe theatrical hiatus after episode nine was planned long before the film was even shot.
Is it? I was under the impression that they began discussing a halt to theatrical productions after Solo bombed, and solidified the decision when Last Jedi underperformed.Horse bleep
Speak for yourselfI think what many people -- including Disney leadership -- have overlooked is that part of what made Star Wars films so successful was the scarcity.
I hereby grant you full and unrestricted permission to have terrible opinions.So I'm not permitted to dislike movies or actors that have won awards or made lots of money? Wait till you hear that I think the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is garbage...
I can assure you that no one here wants you to be wrong, quite the opposite. Many of us just don't believe for a second it will happen.I know many of you think my opinion is utterly ridiculous, but I think Iger saw the damage Chapek-ified Iger-ism did to the brand, and I trust his ego will lead him to do some fan-pleasing things.
Bare minimum they need to clean up the maintenance situation. There's no excuses for the parks being in the shape they are (it's even affecting Disneyland now). And deal with the recent staff/entertainment cuts. I don't expect these to improve either, but that'll be a decent baseline to judge whether ANY good comes out of this.But still, I think the personal wish lists of every single thing anyone dislikes about the parks are a bit silly.

I think what many people -- including Disney leadership -- have overlooked is that part of what made Star Wars films so successful was the scarcity. Until Disney bought Lucasfilm, there were a grand total of only six films in the series and the two trilogies were 20 years apart. Sure, there were some TV shows and tons of tie-in books and merchandise, but there were only six actual films. That made the release of each film an event. Start churning films out every year and it becomes less special, less anticipated.
