"Every one of these movies is a particularly hard nut to crack," Kathleen Kennedy revealed to Rolling Stone about developing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. "Theres no source material. We dont have comic books. We dont have 800-page novels. We dont have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be. We go through a really normal development process that everybody else does. You start by talking to filmmakers who you think exhibit the sensibilities that youre looking for."

I like how they manage to both spit in the face of the EU and whine about having to do what almost every other filmmaker has to do in one paragraph. Very efficient.

Even if you ignore all the canon books, games, and tv shows that have come out since Disney bought the property how exactly is 10 movies no source material...? How many movies in a series needs to be made to have enough source material to build off of?

If you can't write a good story from scratch then quit the industry. That is not an acceptable excuse. It's also invalid as posters above me have explained.

Kathleen Kennedy is basically just complaining that she thinks the MCU has an easier time than she does being successful because I'm sure Bob Iger has yelled at her for failing while the MCU profits.

Also, she's just wrong, because there is tons of Star Wars source martial via the extended universe that they choose not to use.

But from the beginning she was more concerned about pushing certain messages in the Star Wars films over writing a good story so she's even more full of crap than just ignoring that most films are not based off an already successful story.

While you're not wrong, choosing to take that route and then complaining about how it's hard to make the movies because there's no source material to draw inspiration from is just laughable.

What do you think Disney Wars is? If you let a ten year old write a Star Wars movie The Force Awakens is literally what you would get.

This isn't even remotely close to being true. The shit from Disney is nothing more then fan fiction. And really terrible fan fiction at that.

The problem is Star Wars kinda IS "the old serials" now. So new Star Wars movies are really just homages to Star Wars movies. This applies equally to the prequels, and is a criticism I leveled at them when they first came out. So we end up with this photocopy of a photocopy effect that's only going to get worse.
