Literally who gives a single flying solitary fuck what fans complained about when they made billions of dollars.


companies cant leave a penny on the table anymore, if they made 8bn and could have made 10bn sometimes they'll fire people

so really on both ends people will care, stakeholders, and passionate fans

not that "who cares" is ever a good argument in any situation, you sound pretty basic

Yawn.

They are some of the most profitable films in history. She was never slightly in danger of being removed.

I say this as someone who thinks the new films were largely shit with dumb choices when they could've done something great. But I'm not stupid enough to see reality as something else.

Don't those shareholders know more than you or I what they expect? The fact is none of us have any clue how much money was left on the table and it's stupid to assume we do. The facts are they made billions and are keeping her on, so the logical conclusion is they're happy with what they got.

On the subject of Star Wars, I find the discussion of whether Kathleen Kennedy is the single proton torpedo that destroyed the proverbial Death Star that is the "esteem of the true fans" to be incredibly boring.

She was married to the guy that created it and was involved with it's creative decisions. She wasn't just an editor.

Same. All I can find is an interview with Rian Johnson in which he states that Kennedy suggested that Leia might have strong Force powers because Luke tells her she does in RotJ.

Personally, Space Leia feels 100% like a Rian Johnson move. Dude is nuts, and I love it.

True but not enough to redeem the entire film, imo. I wouldn't sit through it again just to see those parts.

Everything I've ever heard points to her being brought in to edit ANH and receiving an Oscar for it. Never heard about her being involved in creative decisions. Source?

Editing is inherently being involved in the creative decisions of a movie.

That being said, I don't really give a fuck what George or Marcia Lucas have to say about anything lol

The crux of Marcia Lucas' complaint over the ST (at least the most recent public one) was that you can't have Star Wars without Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, and she hated that they were killed off. Which isn't a very rational take, considering that A) some of the best SW material has been spinoffs that either don't feature the original core cast or at most have them in brief cameos, and B) even if you recast them, you can't keep trotting out the same characters forever when there's a whole universe of planets, races, and characters to explore.

i guarantee you if you ask 10 people with kids who saw these movies what they thought most will tell you they shrugged and forgot about them in a week. it's because they don't stimulate the imagination whatsoever because it's all reheated

Yeah, she didn't force it. It was RJ's idea.

He explains the scene in the movie commentary. KK would bring up that Leia is also a Skywalker and Luke told her she has powers, but we've never seen them manifest.

So RJ went with mirroring something like a mother lifting a car to save her children. The Force manifested in her because her job to save Ben wasn't done.

I kinda wanna live in this alternate fantasy universe where Kathleen Kennedy simply materialized out of an evil bog in the early 2010's for the exclusive purpose of ruining Star Wars with aggressively malignant feminism.

Because our actual reality - in which she has a decades-long track record as a successful producer (notably Jurassic Park, which of course has the line 'dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the Earth,' which none of these neckbeards had a problem with as kids), not to mention the fact that Star Wars has sucked for decades and didn't need any help in that regard - is just so boring by comparison.

haha
