Her interference at lucasfilm is stuff of legend now. The woman single handedly ruined star wars.

The idea that Kathleen Kennedy has that list of credits but just tanked the latest trilogy into the ground like some incompetent wannabe joke sjw woke feminist who had no business being involved in Star Wars is laughable.

Disney and their hubris are what did for the last trilogy, they made similar mistakes that George did.

The difference is that Disney is a faceless corpofuckery that doesn't care how their films are received as long as they make their money. Unlike George, who had fully drunk the kool aid over the decades and forgotten all the help he had from those around him when he created the original trilogy.

I have nothing wrong with Disney going mad on Star Wars.  It’s an IP ripe for creativity.  They just need people who understand and love the universe to hold the reigns.

I think it would be better if someone didn’t give a toss about Star Wars gave it a go.

I’m basically basing this on Paul Verhovens treatment of starship troopers turning out great.

Imagine someone making something broadly Star Wars ish without the need to pander to anything. They’d be unshackled from a lot of boring crap like Hand solo needing to be there and his stupid gun or a light saber whip.

I’d be very interested to see George Lucas’ ultimate vision for the nine part series, if I’m honest.  Back in the eighties, when the truth about whether there was actually meant to be six or nine movies was murky, my mate managed to speak to Mark Hamill on a radio show (I think he was promoting a film called...Slipstream?...something like that) and I always remember he confirmed to him that Lucas had a nine movie vision.  As wonky as the first three ended up being, anything’s better than what we got in the final three.

I actually want to see George Lucas' 10 or 12 or whatever it was series, with the prelude film and interlude films between trilogies. I'd argue the prequel trilogy shows signs of being more than three films originally with Phantom Menace taking the place of the prelude film and the Clone Wars consequently between squeezed into a film and a half with another half a film setting up A New Hope. Make it the four or five films it was intended to be and let it breathe.

No no no, sounds to me like she interfered with the projects relentlessly.  Kennedy is almost certainly a Sith.

Sorry, but that's horse poo. Disney put huge amount of money into these movies. They might not give 2 fucks as to how the critics rate their movies but they do care about how the general public take to a movie. I'm sure the artistic merit might not be quite as high as the commercial but they certainly need it to to turn things into a proper Disney franchise. They need fans invested enough that the next round of films gets that audience on board. Why do you think rian Johnsons trilogy got kicked to the kerb. Its also why marvel didnt stick with Norton hulk.

And as bad as Disney star wars is, compare it to the cluster fuck of the DC movies when they were trying to copy marvel. Justice league is far worse than any of the new star wars.movies.

I'd imagine the bigger problem is that a film, and a story, needs a strong guiding hand. You can't put these movies together by committee or by market research. I'm guessing that's more where Disney went wrong.

So star wars fans want the universe expanded with new characters and adventures but also want it to respect the original plot lines and hits those nostalgia glands? They want directors to bring a new vision to the movies but not to stray too far from the look and feel of the original movies?

Boom! That's how we get star wars 7 to 9.

Edit: just to be clear, I'm not taking the piss on star wars fans there, just more that basing your movie on market research is doomed to failure.

Take Lucas’ treatments for films 7, 8, and 9, give them to proven screenplay writers, assign a proper director to each film (David Fincher (pop quiz-he worked on Jedi), Denis Villeneuve, and finally Ridley Scott.)

Basically my sci fi wank fantasy.

I'm struggling to think of three directors I'd like less to work on StarWarz.

Please god not Scott

I still believe in that guy.  He just needs to work from the right screenplay.

Yup. George's plans were a fucking hellscape of ideas.

It's not reasonable to let three different directors do their own take if you expect a coherent trilogy at the end of it. And I'm sure she had a rough idea of what each of them had in mind for the franchise, which is why Trevorrow's plug was pulled. She realised the error of her ways.
