It really is political correctness that killed the series, not it's absolute stagnation

Because she put a girl in Star Wars, obviously.

I've got a 55 minute long video on why she killed Star Wars and also how that Israel isn't a legitimate state

Most of those she wasn't directly in charge of, as much as she was an assistant or exec working off someone else's vision. And "producer" has never really been a credit most people care about, because it usually just means you're the money, or the person making sure everyone else gets their resources.

With Star Wars, not only is she personally and directly in charge of the entire franchise, it's also one of the most fanboy-heavy franchises in the history of human entertainment. That basically makes her the #1 target, in an arena where the complaints are going to be rapid-fire and vitriolic as hell.

Keep in mind, these same people were more than willing to demand Lucas be burned at the stake for the prequels. Kennedy isn't unique in this position - and she's going to be the obvious target for anyone who is dissatisfied with the current direction of the films.

And anti-SJW rage is only part of the equation. A lot of the backlash has almost nothing to do with that.

(But of course people trying to defend her or the franchise will automatically resort to accusing everyone who complains of being a bigot, because ad hominem is basically the Internet's favorite debate tactic in every discussion ever.)

Thats a good point. I liked the movie but I thought the whole Snoke thing was beyond BS

most of my life I've just known Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshal as names that appear alongside the name Steven Spielberg, usually indicating an above average movie.

haven't seen TLJ yet though so have no opinion yet (and I don't care that much about SW anyway)

She axed the previous director of Episode XIII because he didn't want to suck up to her vision of what Star Wars should be (instead of what it is), and found a lapdog in a moderately successful director in Rian Johnson who just wanted a job.

It's funny how much the fandom turned on the prequels, they were universally derided but now coz they made for some funny memes they're great again. Soon enough people will be getting nostalgic over the new trilogy

I've said this before, but I think it's in large part due to kids who grew up with the prequels becoming older and a bigger part of online culture. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens ten years from now as well, but maybe not, as Star Wars is currently dwarfed by the Avengers as far as kid friendly action movies go.

Star wars is already dead.

After TLJ, I didn't see Solo - and I have no intention of seeing IX in the theaters. I may someday watch it, but honestly there aren't any characters I care about.

The Prequils weren't great and you kind of already knew the ending, but I still cared about some of those characters.
