“This war is whack, I need money” is the best elevator pitch for a Lando project! lolol
I didn't realize it'd been 14 YEARS since Disney bought Star Wars. That's craziness.
It's fashionable to dunk on Kennedy which always feels gross because misogyny, but I honestly think she's in over her head. Her legendary track record as a producer was largely due to collaborations with creative geniuses like Spielberg. There's a vacuum at Lucasfilm when it comes to creative leadership and unfortunately Filoni is being propped up as the solution. He's better than nothing, but he's also not good.
Kennedy initially tried to bring in great directors/showrunners and let them do their thing, which is absolutely the right approach imo given her own strengths. The flaw was that everyone had to play in the same tiny sandbox. But having any kind of plan, like at all, should've been the first step.
Agreed. It’s not really Kennedy’s fault but she’s going to get left holding the bag by virtue of being the boss. I like Filoni but I kinda feel like him having a head roll is similar to giving me a head roll in Lucasfilm. I’d greenlight every single series you brought to me, no matter how obscure. You want 8 episodes about the guy in Cloud City holding the ice cream maker? Sold!
Yes yes yes for a return to FUN
Agreed! The more I think about it, the more I think Donald Glover is the right person to bring the fun back to Star Wars
