Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

[Khev]

I mean it is kinda funny that amidst the elevated awareness of gender equality Kathy Kennedy is like “put the couch over there....nah, over there.”

So in the span of one month:

1. Iger confesses that they willfully betrayed George Lucas and made sequels that ignored his original outlines.
2. New trilogy directors quit
3. Lawrence Kasdan says the studio "blew it" with Solo
4. Lackluster Galaxy's Edge and Triple Force Friday

Am I forgetting anything? They're all, "quick, can we whip up a few more Mandalorian trailers??"

lol

KK is pleased to announce the hiring and firing of their new director.

Probably old news but I just read Tim Rose’s account of his on-set experience on TLJ & it was pretty bad for a returning OT player.

Never would have guessed that based on his role. Johnson probably put Rose in the stables of the casino planet with those greyhound goat things.

Jesus. Can Iger finally kick KK to the curb? How much damage are you going to let her do to Lucasfilm and Star Wars? KK will be Iger's biggest failure in his tenure as Disney CEO. Hopefully Feige nudges her the hell out for destroying the OT legacy.

Yeah, RJ having him dress up just to have his character stand there and die and then reducing him to tears by having him say "that's a wrap" for everyone's amusement made it that much easier to wash my hands of ever defending RJ again.

Maybe Kevin Fiege will introduce the SW cinematic “Legends” beginning retroactively with the Holiday Special and Sequel Trilogy.

It seems RJ fans didn't agree with you.

Interesting he doesn't elaborate on that. Maybe it was the studio that insisted he shoehorn every conceivable OT and EU reference into the script?

Cause he?ll catch a case with the twitter people who will be offended. They?ll say he fired her cause she is a woman and wanted to please the straight white guys. Some dumb **** like that.

What the hell is wrong with Kathleen? Is she just incapable of running the ship? How do you keep hiring people and then firi-- I mean, parting ways.

Someone just put Favreau in charge.

THR has your answer.

"Lucasfilm President....hmmm. Only IF it's on MY terms."

Iger clearly hasn't been to the Story Department floor that I was on if he thinks he's short on females and people of color.

 

[Khev]

Is it just me or does Gina Carano's figure look kind of like "Super Rose" lol.

 

[abake]

I don't know, but it's one hell of an ugly figure of one hell of an ugly design...

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I thought Hasbro was using that 3D printing technology on their SW figures like they did with Marvel?

Looks like Dengar was transitioning in ESB. Another OT mystery solved.

 

[jye4ever]

It does look like Dengar transitioned lol

I?m sure the 6? will look better than that.

I think she looks great in the show.

This should shut up the naysayers who claim the OT wasn't an inclusive franchise

I wonder if Iger fired B&W immediately after the reaction to the GoT finale but allowed them to bow out gracefully "due to scheduling conflicts" before they announce that the new release dates are really for the Feige/Favreau trilogy. I'm calling it now, lol.
