Kathleen Kennedy: Star Wars Is Now About Persistent Storytelling, Not Trilogies

[March Madness]

SOLO was actually a pretty good movie, lol
it just came at a point where the morale of STAR WARS was at it's lowest, killing Luke in the previous movie


the real problem with Solo is that it doesn't have a Monster 3rd Act like literally EVERY OTHER STAR WARS movie.
there is no Big Space battle nor cool Ground Infantry battle in the last 15-20 minutes...

^^ Movie falls apart when they get to the sand planet (lol) and the Big Bad is revealed to be a 5'3 British Girl with freckles
But the Kessell Run segment is one of the highlights of Disney Star Wars.


Boba Fett is over-done now but a rival bounty hunter (IG-88, BOSSK, DENGAR, etc?) would have made SOLO a lot less boring.
Star Wars is driven by strong villain characters and SOLO did not really have a proper one.


it doesn't deserve a sequel because it was written in a way to make Qi'ra (Emillia Clarke) more interesting than fukking Han Solo
which is more of the same, Girl-Power KK stuff in the sequels but it's a cool one-off film. 3.5/5

 

[Return of the Jedi]

It’s clear that her goal is to have the franchise in brace the MCU format. and honestly that’s fine it’s worth a try. Just never let Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams touch the franchise again.

Should have just adapted the extended universe books, comics, and video games from the 90s and 2000s and they would have been good.

I really wish we got the original Thrawn trilogy. especially now that they brought Luke back for shyt

I like what Filoni did with Thrawn in Rebels and the new Disney canon... but Mara Jade/Talon Karrde/Joruus C'baoth were legendary.

I didn’t read the interview but she seems like a typical delusional exec. She ruined the filmmaking aspect when decided to do the sequel trilogy without a plan . Even if you likeTLJ it is a terrible sequel to TFA , If you want to work with rian Johnson then let him do his own original trilogy and complete the sequel trilogy with a complete vision .

He pitched his trilogy and because she liked the concepts he came up with was basically like “do episode 8” without consideration that he and JJ were completely opposite film makers. It was set to fail from the beginning. If they only had a plan from the jump we would be on like the 7th star wars theater release imo.

It’s crazy Kathleen Kennedy still has a job. Disney probably lost 10 billion on the sequels.

 

[ORDER_66]

She doesn't have a hard job. Evidence shows the fan base just wants the franchise to regurgitate any and everything they can get out of the Skywalker lore. Make a series about what Chewbacca was doing on a random Thursday between Empire and Return and watch them eat it up

That's not true alot of fans wanted the EU stories that was from the novels and comics and the yuuzang vong wars but she had to be a dumb bytch and threw it all out and claimed she had no blueprint...

She must be sucking someones dikk up there to keep her job with her fukking up this badly... Jesus Christ

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Okay okay.

Watched pt 2 of Obi and now I kinda like it. It's clunky and slow as shyt but the Sister is ill.

And while the little adventure with lil bit could have maybe been the first act of a movie (like about 30 min or so to set up act 2, the big adventure) instead of the length of a whole damn movie,

it was trying to be charming and character building.

 

[The ADD]

Easy to say when you have destroyed confidence in another trilogy. Nobody is buying that.

And this is a gat damn lie, because George Lucas even gave Disney ideas on where to take the series next.

 

[Deltron]

disney did him dirty by making it seem like they'd use his ideas

George Lucas Felt Upset and Betrayed When Disney Wouldn't Use His Ideas For the New Star Wars Trilogy

Maybe it's for the best, though.

I just realized recently what they should have done during the sequel trilogy if they really wanted to draw out the story. In-between each episode they should have had a movie and/or tv series that built towards the next part of the trilogy.

Can we have Chewie babysit a little version of a beloved character

 

[Animal House]

And this is a gat damn lie, because George Lucas even gave Disney ideas on where to take the series next.

But they scrapped them breh. He had the trilogy revolving around two siblings or some shyt. Instead we get what we got
