When did it happen with Rebels? The Force Awakens? Give the hyperbole a break
Obi Wan series on the way?
- Thread starter Saul
- Start date
It's not hyperbole. She has had plenty of announcements and subsequent screeups, despite only 5 films having been released in her tenure, that one can't help but see a pattern
This, like most of the things you post, is bullshit.
This situation is neither extraordinary or cause for alarm, regardless of what shit-stirrers like you, Grace Randolph, and others want to claim.
What is it with Disney (or I guess Lucasfilm) and constantly meddling with creative direction? Maybe they should take a page from Netflix, Amazon, and Apple and just let creatives do what they want (as long as it fits in canon). Even CBS has seemed mostly hands off with the new Star Trek shows (after the Bryan Fuller firing).
Yes, I understand that if it's shit, then obviously it needs re-working. But this is happening way too much. Either Lucasfilm is micro-managing too much or their hiring practices are suspect as they keep hiring the wrong people.

Exept you stop writong without backing up y pi ur assertion.. which i have done
I'd rather them take the time to get this right but this looks like more mismanagement of the Star Wars franchise from Disney and Kathleen Kennedy. They seem to have some kind of problem with most of the people that they hire. Everyone can have one or two bad hires but when you have multiple bad hires, it's a you problem and not a they problem.
By all accounts, the scripts that were finished were too similar to The Mandalorian, and so a decision was made to just abandon said scripts entirely.
This isn't a conflict of interest or a "bad-faith hiring" situation; it's a fairly routine change in direction.

Making money on the SW logo alone. She botched 4 director appointments, two trilogues and one show. And that's only the stuff they publicly announced
Yes. But every decision must be scrutinized by fans who know nothing about the business.
Lord and Miller were fired because they wouldn't follow directions.
Benioff and Weiss left because their Netflix deal was better for them in the long run.
And, as noted, this situation is simply a fairy routine change in direction.

As producer, she has to vet the people she hires, make sure they are all on the same page before her company announces their attachment to the projects. Teyong to deflect the blame from her is not going to work. This is all about leadership. Even shills agree
There was absolutely no way that Kathleen Kennedy could've foreseen that any of this stuff would happen, so holding her accountable for it is disingenuous at best and insulting at worst.
^ I don't think you understand how television production works based on this comment.
I don't know why we keep giving these "fans" our attention.
No way she could have known??? Are you saying her ID can't get her on the set any time she wants? How does a movie get 80 percent done before the executive producer realizes it was not the film she ordered? The blame os on leadership here. And on every case regarding failed directors, trilogies and shows.
Instead of actually thinking about millions of dollarss to jungle on projects that are in active development, she thought her time would be better spent doing interviews about wanting to have more and more and more and more (and more) female representation in the directing and writing group, or doing force is female promos for Nike, all the while she goes on with the belief that being the head of Lucasffilm is her personal political soapbox, the production Disney has hundreds of millions invested in is going off the rails and you say it's not her fault. I mean even Tony admitted to Cap: "and Ultron: my fault."

Kathleen chose to give Lord and Miller numerous opportunities to change their obstinate behavior before firing them once it became absolutely crystal clear that they wouldn't listen and follow instructions no matter how many chances she gave them
Castigating her for the decision to allow them numerous "second chances" is a case of "standing on a hill throwing stones".
except they should have been properly vetted before a single frame of film was shot, to know what the project would be. That's what a producer does at base. What is the tone of the film? the setting, the point.. all of that is the reason producers produce. Those directors wanted to go off and make a screw ball comedy I guess.
In any case, things happen. But this isn't just about one project. It's about her pattern. I mean two announced trilogies have been chopped, multiple directors have been axed or changed. Announced films have disappeared, and now a show Disney NEEDS for their stupid network that she herself said had "scripts all done" is having problems. It's all about leadership, and slapping the logo on something will eventually not be able to cover that up
Kathleen Kennedy is not a clairvoyant; she could no more have predicted through vetting that Lord and Miller would refuse to take orders than, say, an airline could predict through vetting that a Pilot might get drunk and fly a plane impaired.
She also could not have predicted that Benioff and Weiss would find themselves in a much better long-term working deal with Netflix.
As far as the Obi-Wan series goes, though, it is not "having problems" because what is happening with it is fairly routine.
