Welcome to five posts ago.

What did Sisko call this kind of thing? "Manufactured triumph". KK is leaving by her own choice on her own accord at a time of her own choosing and later than she had originally intended, and the monkeys in the peanut gallery are are declaring a victory. And nothing will change. They'll just swoop in and hate the next Lucasfilm president with the same vigor. If the new president is a female, they'll hate them for the same reason. If the new president is a male, they'll find some new reason to hate them. Lather, rinse, repeat. All of this has happened before, all of this will happen again.

They’ll take the victory lap and act as if they accomplished something, anyway.

They’ll take the victory lap and act as if they accomplished something, anyway.

And show their true character, or lack thereof, in the process.

I think they need to remember that they already have a chief creative officer and hire someone who can run the business of Star Wars.

The question is whether or not they have soured on him as well.

I told those monkeys to stay out of gallery's. Sometimes they just don't listen.

First thing I think of to people's reaction to the new head of LFL:

 

[cooleddie74]

My suggestion would be Favreau as studio head and Filoni as the grand poobah in charge of creative decisions for the franchise, but who knows where this is all going to go.

 

[EnderAKH]

Thank God, now Alex Kurtzman and Rian Johnson can become co-heads of the studio, as God intended.

 

[Nerys Myk]

When they announce JJ Abrams heads will explode.

 

[Jayson1]

Don't you mean they should pull Rick Berman out of retirement to run things!

 

[cooleddie74]

Such flare!









Oh, to Hell with you all.

I would love for Favreau to get the job. He is perfect for the job. He writes,directs and even acts. Has success with the Mandalorian and frankly their would be no MCU without his Iron Man being as good as it was.

Can he do the business side though?
