I think the problem is deeper than her, though. Getting rid of her might fix some things, but not all of them.
Kathleen Kennedy Damaging Star Wars....?
- Thread starter Kane_Steel
- Start date
Even if you're right, why is your life so empty that something that has no effect on it gives you such glee?
Indeed. Kennedy helmed the three more financially successful films, while Iger and Kasdan own Solo.
Even so, the level of schadenfreude expressed is disturbing.
Given what happened to Solo, I feel confident saying that Kennedy is not the problem that she is painted as. She is far more the scapegoat of the Internet.
What's amusing is I post here so infrequently. You're a far more active poster than I on a Star Trek message board, and you're using the argument of a "life so empty" . We don't really need to go there.
Let's be real. I don't actually care about Star Wars. I'm more fascinated about the drama behind the scenes and the studio politics. This Kathleen Kennedy mess plays right into what I'm interested in. So yes, the fallout from this mess does put a smile on my face.
You're the one with four different threads here.
If Kennedy is fired tonight, you are going to have the same money in your bank account tomorrow, have the same car, same living conditions, same job.
Why is someone losing their job so joyful?
That IS the question.
You're the one with four different threads here.
So what? They are focused on the behind the scenes drama of this franchise, not the actual Star Wars narrative.
All of those four are incredibly awesome, and not areas of concern
But the fact that you're trying to focus this on me personally shows that deep down you are starting to realize that it is very likely Kathleen will be indeed fired, and you are trying to downplay the significance of that outcome to save face.
I'm happy with the message it sends. And yes, it will happen within the year. I'm sure you're looking forward to my posts when it's announced.
Newp. Not even close. Was hoping you could actually see how little it actually means. I simply can't imagine getting joy over someone losing their job over a movie I don't like.
It’s disturbing that someone can be so obsessesed with someone’s downfall. At the end of the day, it won’t make a bit of difference to my life if Kennedy is fired. But until I hear something from a source with a little more knowledge than a random individual on the internet who utilizes Twitter and YouTube for his main sources of information and is to the point of identifying with Thanos, a character who killed billions, in order to take down one woman, because of a franchise he suggests he doesn’t care about, I will argue the point. Just sayin’.
It's Hollywood. People lose their jobs all the time. We aren't talking about a small fish who's an intern for a studio. Kathleen will get some other job somewhere else and still make more than a living, while Star Wars will get some fresh perspective and a chance to move away from her toxic direction.
Everyone wins.
He totally doesn't care. He totally doesn't care so much, that he posts whatever batshit Youtuber publishes any given day.

And you guys get so worked up and emotional, that you have to reply and post back to defend your point of views.
Trust me, if I'm supposedly 'obsessed' as you claim, that assessment doesn't shine you guys in a favourable light either. Obviously, you're just as invested, if not moreso... just with the opposite perspective on the matter.

Where has anyone said they aren't invested? The only one I know who has said that, is you.
You should probably go back and re-read those posts. Like I said, I'm interested in the drama behind the scenes when it comes to these films. That's fascinating to me. Especially with a toxic figure like Kathleen Kennedy, and the divisiveness from her leadership. It will be amusing to see the fallout from that in the upcoming months, and I'll definitely get a good laugh when she 'departs.'
I actually don't give a damn about Star Wars as a narrative at this point. It's just...stupid. I can appreciate the original trilogy's part in film-making history, but the films that have come after have just exposed how silly and juvenile SW is.
This makes zero sense. None.I'm happy with the message it sends. And yes, it will happen within the year. I'm sure you're looking forward to my posts when it's announced.
Always has been.
Then why care about what happens to Kennedy if the narrative matters so little?
Yup. But so much fun! That’s what it’s for.
Only difference is the original trilogy had characters that actually resonated with general audiences and made a pop culture impact, the way that the Marvel Studios characters are doing today. Likeable and well-developed characters can make a premise as silly as SW into something great, and make those characters iconic... without that, you get something divisive that leads to diminishing returns.
