Obviously shoulda gave it to Filoni. Or have final say at least. Don't complain once you take the check.

Filoni sucks too

All he knows how to do is regurgitate the same fanon over and over

The Star Wars version of Geoff Johns

SW had a good run then.

All Disney had to do was follow the books and give us the Solo Twins....but nope. Also could've done Plagueis right, but nope. Come up with some original shyt post Skywalkers, but nope.

They fukked it all off being goofy.

Kathleen or not... Bobby Iger would still have a lot of dumb shyt happening in 'Star Wars'..
Perhaps but she is hands down one of if not the biggest issues with Star Wars

She used to be a very good producer but as head of Lucas Film she is straight basura

No shyt, George.

A better interview would have him explaining what his visions were in decent amount of detail.
The things people liked the most about star wars involved other people. The prequels are what you get when you give him no guardrails. Trash.

And the Disney films are a blatant, shameless cash grab made by people who wanted to get a return on their "investment" they don't care about the themes, characters or anything other than "what will drive traffic to our theme parks, streaming service, and merchandise stores"

The "forced diversity" whining is annoying, but these characters are clearly there as bait to try and get people to watch the movies. Then when they see the black storm trooper that isn't force sensitive, doesn't try to reconcile his life of being a storm trooper with the fact that he had to kill people who may have been his friends and forced to fight just like him, doesn't end up with the protagonist whom he clearly has chemistry with, they get frustrated because the expectations that Disney set were not met.

Of course they don't care though because by then it's too late. They've gotten you to watch the other movies implying that they'd do something...anything meaningful with these characters.
