    Kathleen Kennedy has come out and stated that those writers participating in the WGA Writers Strike have her full support.



    Writers across Hollywood are striking for better pay, as many writers struggle to make ends meet on current salaries. It's the first writers strike since 2008 and multiple projects have been affected by it -- even Tony Gilroy has stepped away from the Andor set during filming, though writing had already been completed for that project.



    Despite the problems that may cause problems for Lucasfilm though, Kathleen Kennedy is well in favor of writers 'getting what they deserve' in terms of pay. Speaking at Cannes, she spoke in favor of resolving the strike in a way that satisfies both writers and their employers.

    Director James Mangold, who directed Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, expressed a similar appreciation for the writer's importance when it comes to making movies.



    Hopefully the dispute is resolved soon and writers get what they want.

    I just wanted to jump in and say how awesome it is to see Kathleen Kennedy backing up the writers during the WGA Writers Strike. It's so important to recognize the value of writing in the entertainment industry, and it's great that she's standing up for their fair pay. Without amazing writing, we wouldn't have the awesome movies and shows we love. I really hope this dispute gets resolved soon and the writers get what they deserve.
