    George Lucas and Katherine Kennedy have both made good, great and also terrible decisions. The franchise all started with Lucas and so he deserves the biggest credit, love and respect but star wars is now so much more than about them.

    Many actors, directors, producers, writers and creative teams have contributed to the franchise throughout over 40 years and not even just the films but there's also been books, comics, tv shows and video games. All major or minor hits and misses from different people combined

    That's how how you define them. But not me, here's a rough sample I am talking about:



    Consisting of individuals with a puerile and adolescent minds and such delusions of entitlement that they personally attack the cast, the crew and employees of the studio.



    I haven't a clue what you're talking about with your reference to modern politics. It makes no sense.

    LOL! If that was the case, Kennedy would have been turfed by now. Hollywood is a shark tank and there are always people who are ready to take your job. Connections will only help you so long if there's no talent to back it up. As for protecting her betrayal of George's legacy. It was George who gave Disney his notes that Luke was supposed to be a hermit on an island. And it was he who planned to have the heroine of the ST a female

    I had forgotten about that damn documentary. I felt so ashamed and embarrassed to be a star wars fan and it was awkward for me as an overall fan of the prequels. The original trilogy is still my favorite but star wars was already more than just 3 original films before the prequels and there were already different contributors than Lucas.

    I didn't want to near other fans for a while and keep my fandom to myself in pvt. Same after Last Jedi

    Hey don't say that about Katherine, everybody's good at something!

    As far as Kathleen is concerned, cheating her way to a 30+ year career while making the money she has, with Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, E.T., Schindler's List, Indiana Jones, etc. all under her belt is a talent that makes even the greatest con artists green with envy. Also I hope you realize that in saying that you're also insulting the people who she associated with for letting her con them.

    Poor Kathy Kennedy. They can't even get her name right. How will she ever sleep having 8 Oscar nominations, being the first woman to ever win the Irving G Thalberg Award, being the second highest grossing producer of all time behind only the unicorn that is Kevin Feige, being married to the 6th highest grossing producer of all time and arguably being credited with saving Steven Spielberg's career....must keep her awake at night

    Then they shouldn't have named themselves after the VILLIAN of the whole Phantom Menace. :rolleyes: See, TFM doesn't really care about the character. They were calling her SJW garbage when she first appeared on screen. Now? She's a God. Why? Their/her politics.

    I don't really cared if she gets fired or not. I don't care for Disney SW, but you also know my feelings on a certain firing, so I am left with no opinion.
    --- Double Post Merged, Mar 10, 2021, Original Post Date: Mar 10, 2021 ---
    But she won't be fired anyway, I don't know why this is a discussion.

    You clearly don't understand what The Fandom Menace is The Fandom Menace is not a toxic part of the Star Wars fanbase that attacks actors/actresses and the people being interviewed in The people Vs George Lucas those kinds of people are NOT apart of TFM. TFM is a hashtag/group of people who are unhappy with the current state of pop culture and entertainment and they want to see change and have modern politics left out of their entertainment. Also Yeah those where Georges ideas but i guarantee you the way he would have done it would have been completely different considering that George hates the sequel trilogy.

    Trolls gonna troll.

    A jovial anecdote about KK starting out in the business vs where she is now.
    If he truly felt that way about her why does he have an ongoing relationship with her for 40 years?
    Why did he credit her with saving his career?

    Why are you so bad at this?

    Also he probably only said those things because in Hollywood you can get in big trouble for speaking out towards women in power.

    I don't understand why the fandom menace put so much stock in these weird ass youtubers to start with. Most of them are up there with the fairies lol. All they do promote hate and suffering which is a key theme in the product they supposedly love. It's complete gate keeping and ownership and they come across as really entitled it's s quite embarrassing. (*Disclaimer* I Am talking about these YouTube accounts by the way, nobody else).

    She was never going to get sacked anyway and whoever the person is who asked that question, needs to look in the mirror and pull their socks up. It should never been asked in the first place.

    ...wishful thinking and exploitative click bait.


    ...desirable to a few content creators.

    ;)


    I think the thing that is getting overlooked here is that, far from being "cancelled", subscribers to Disney+ appear to be staying in droves. With over 100M signed on three years ahead of Disney's projected target for obtaining those kinds of figures. Considering that Star Wars was the main selling point of the new platform, it's kind of absurd that the Disney CEO is taking these questions about the Lucasfilm president.
