Is there a Star Wars trilogy that kept the momentum? They all do well, but there seems a sort of burn-out (for the general public) by the third of each set.
I was gonna get to you later…I kinda agree with you
He did take the blame for what would have been her fault..
He can have the blame for both…certainly

Kennedy has been a part of some of the most iconic franchises ever. No one can ever take that away from her. I said back around the last jedi debacle that Kennedy would be good fit on the logistics side of things. But it hasn't worked with star wars. I don't hate Kennedy either but I think she had her shot with star wars and it didn't work for me.
We may be able to ALL agree…
…that that could be her proper lane moving forward…
Totally agree. I think she's a good business woman in the movie biz. but not a creative "Force". At the time the movies were made, they didn't have one and let directors play telephone. Now they are left with what seems like an empty table as the MCU keeps racking up the balls and smacking them into the pockets with every shot.We may be able to ALL agree…
considering how much of an idiot Chapek is…LFL could use a strong force on the business side to get the funds…just not deciding the Stories and characters…
Mcu’s best days are behind…me thinks…it’s also somewhat supported by declining reviews and buying of films since endgame…

The Hollywood reporter is the same source that said they picked up her option the last time.Hollywood Reporter recently did a piece on the 100 most powerful women in entertainment, Kathleen Kennedy is on it. And in their blurb about her they do confirm that Disney re-upped her contract. So this is confirmation from a "reputable" media outlet, so its no longer just some in the weeds site reporting it.
The Hollywood Reporter’s Annual(ish) Women in Entertainment Power 100
Ramping up output while still laboring through the pandemic, the women of the entertainment industry worked doubly hard in 2021, so it's only fair they be celebrated twice ... Ava DuVernay, Scarlett Johansson and — welcome! — the Williams sisters topline THR's survey of Hollywood's leading ladies.
Kathleen Kennedy
President, Lucasfilm
Steering Lucasfilm into perhaps its busiest year since the company was acquired by Disney in 2012, Kennedy is in production on Indiana Jones 5 and a Disney+ series based on the 1988 Ron Howard feature Willow — on top of a slew of Star Wars series. Obi-Wan Kenobi and the third season of Emmy titan The Mandalorian are filming, Rogue One prequel Andor just wrapped, Ahsoka is gearing up to start shooting in the spring and The Book of Boba Fett debuts in December. Disney recently re-upped Kennedy, perhaps the female exec who’s most scrutinized by movie fans in and out of Hollywood, for the second time — but setbacks on Star Wars‘ features front remain cause for concern.
Well Chapek telegraphed they would be renewing her contract back in March anyways, so to me that was Disney announcing it. So I don't know why anyone questioned this was happening. It just seemed like too many posters here and in the fandom were hoping, wising, and in some cases literally begging, Chapek to fire her or at least not renew her contract.
this is all that matters…the rest is you and the 3 other peeps that have defended her on Star Wars threads the last couple of years grandstanding…
And you and others can continue to berate her decisions until the sun burns out. It still doesn’t change the fact that 1. she has lead the studio good or bad to bring in Billions for the company, 2. Disney has not only renewed her contract once but twice and will likely continue to do so as long as she wants.this is all that matters…the rest is you and the 3 other peeps that have defended her on Star Wars threads the last couple of years grandstanding…
let me refresh you:
1. a mountain of mistakes have been made…there’s no counter to that given the state of the ip - particularly the movie side.
2. She is not being abused or mistreated by the fans - just being held to account. For what? Her arrogance and that of LFL and Robert Iger believing they “knew what’s best” for the most fan loyal pop franchise in history. The word is “hubris”. Textbook.
3. there is a role from her…just the right one. She’s experienced and savvy…in the right lane.
its not giving movies to that idiot johnson…or fighting with patty Jenkins…or “bringing Rey back”
…you failed all that crap. Move on…show you’re the right person by turning the page.
It’s a film studio that peddles fan Franchises…stop peeing into the wind.
merry Christmas
And it’s 5 o’clock somewhere…
The main thing I agree with is that the Star Wars movies could be a lot better. But the same could be said about a lot of Hollywood movies and franchises, this isn't isolated to Star Wars or who runs LFL.
So the fanboy excuse?
