WTF is Kathleen Kennedy smoking? (claims no source material for good movies)

[Shaman]

This reminds me of Jon Gruden saying a good pass rusher is hard to find after the raiders traded away khalil mack.

 

[General Mills]

This just says it all

Timothy Zan gave fukking life to SW in between Jedi and the special editions, this the mawfukking thanks he gets.

Thrawn, Vong, Jacen Solo >>> "This isn't another Death Star...it's bigger!" + a villain who can't fight.

Mannnnn!! I’m sitting here right now!

they could have easily followed the expanded universe and ate!!

I wanted to see the Vong fukkin shyt up on the big screen


Mara Jade putting in work.
Jacen on his shyt.

The tears when Chewie dies


Anakin Solo’s sacrifice

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Never been a Star Wars fan but I decided to watch the entire franchise now that it’s on Disney Plus and Episode 8 was not just bad, it was surprisingly bad. It felt like a totally different franchise with just the same characters. At least with Lucas’ 6, it was up and down, but it was the same feel and universe

 

[DaylitoJames]

This crazy bytch said what?!

 

[manyfaces]

How is her plan to tell stories other than the EU "half-assing" it? Isn't it the opposite?

Wouldn't it be easier for them to just shoot existing stories, ones they know the fans like, and bank the money?

I don't care if you like or dislike the new trilogy, I really don't. But I just don't understand why you'd rather have stories you already know retold again in a different medium.

Sometimes it's better to hear/see good old stories than bad new ones. It wasn't so much that they disregarded the expanded universe, but that they did so and replaced it with that. There were some quality stories Ave characters amidst the clutter in some of those books. Could have at least used some of the ideas or characters for inspiration instead of scraping the whole thing with no alternative plan in sight.

They hated the prequels so much that they trashed Lucas outline and tried to do a soft reboot, and now look at them. Yeah they made money but overall most of everything after the buyout has been mediocre and

I like Star Wars but shyt overrated

You like Stars Wars and you think it’s rated appropriately


@jayshiggs I need you to reclaim that dap brother

If Darth Vader isn't in the movie it sucks. lol
For a franchise about a new and different universe to concentrate on the same people/families over and over it's gotten boring. It's not expanding it's contracting especially with the latest tag line for the next movie. I'm barely interested.

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Figured it was taken out of context. Nope. She literally says there's NO source material out there.

If she had said the EU shyt was trash, she'd have something to argue. But to say there's NOTHING?

How sway?

brah.. this woman just ruined a whole story.

 

[Neuromancer]

I wanted to say something besides this, but I can't.

They dropped a moon on chewie

They dropped a moon on chewie

Han legit lost it after that for a while.

He was so distraught he murdered out the Falcon.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Han legit lost it after that for a while.

He was so distraught he murdered out the Falcon.

And then the kid Chewie saved (Anakin) ends up sacrificing himself to save others as well

 

[David_TheMan]

She needs to be fired immediately.

The best thing Iger can do to save Star Wars is to fire her and give Jon Favereau the reigns

 

[karim]

That's not what's she's saying at all. Good grief, you dudes need to slow down and actually comprehend things. It would also help to read original articles instead of interpretations by shytty websites.



This is not a cry about a lack of source material to lift from, but about the pressures in the process involved in developing an original story.

Source material or not, there is no fukking reason to greenlight a script that is as convoluted as the last jedi
That shyt was worse than fan fiction, it was fan fiction by a a fan with an immense ego and no fukking clue how to tell a story. I don't know how much of this is Kathleen Kennedys fault, but she is the C.E.O. of the company and it is obvious that whoever she put in charge of developing these movies fukked up big time
