I never said everything in these videos is always 100% false. There has to be some grain truth or believability to act as bait for these videos. I'm simply pointing out that there's an agenda (sometimes hidden, other times in plain sight) that generally drives most of these Star Wars drama channels. They massively embellish these small grains of truth they stumble across (adding in subjective opinions or wild speculation pawned off as fact) to a point where there's little to no truth even left of whatever there was to begin with. It is likely that JJ was asked to "fix things", given that TLJ failed to earn as much money as TFA. That isn't saying TLJ "flopped" either, but corporate culture demands increasingly larger successes with sequels. But regardless, doesn't take these youtube tabloid videos to figure out that Disney went with JJ again in hopes he'll be a safer bet for profits than Rian or Colin, that's the "grain of truth".
A serious problem with these sorts of youtubers (well one of them, there are a lot of serious problems with them) is they aren't entering into a topic with a clean unbiased mind by any stretch of the imagination. They're starting with a conclusion and are working backwards from this conclusion to fit a narrative. Their conclusion being that "women and SJWs are bad and ruin everything". This is the basis for any topic they approach (even if they don't know or care much about the topic itself). Automatically embracing this as the cause of the problem without any objectivity or further analysis. Hence the many videos just brazenly titled "women/feminism/SJWs are ruining Star Wars". It really stinks up the conversation.

I don't buy it. I'm certain she met with Iger and other executives to discuss production issues, but I doubt her position was ever actually under significant threat. I don't see the pieces or any smoke. I'm also again not giving any credence to a handful of youtube randos with a clear bias/agenda and no credible source.
