This time in theory Luke will be treated well if you in theory hire someone who wants to worship the character instead of deconstruct the character.
 
The Legends of the Skywalker. (The problems will be that the legends will start to merge the stories of Anakin, Luke, Leia, Ben, and Rey over the tens of millennia).

Not if they do a good job. Up until they start doing a bad job. Fandoms operate no different than sports fans and what you see in sports and how people love the head coach and star QB until they don't or until they realize they aren't going to be bringing home any championship for them. Also if your into sports chances are you probably already had this moment when you realize certain people had to go. As a OU Sooner fan, things were not so great in the 90's for the greatest college football program of all--time. Any Sooner fan remembers when it was time for Gary Gibbs, Howard Schnellenberger and John Blake to go. Some it was years and some figured it out almost instantly.

No, that's not how this works. These people have to hate them, it's pretty much the only way they know how to experience media at this point, so no matter who is in charge they're going to find some reason to hate it.

I liked how they handled them.

It sounds like someone must have heard they were discussing possible replacements for when Kennedy decides to leave, and assumed that meant she was leaving now.
 
It seems like nothing has changed? The idea is she would leave in a year. That was more of less what was stated. The only real change is people assumed she would be retiring. When in reality it looks like she will just be looking for another job because she still wants to make movies. I don't think I heard anyone talk about how she would be stepping down immediately. I mean it isn't even realistic for her to step down until you have a replacement already picked and ready to takeover.

They're releasing an entire [Andor S2] chapter every week.

So 3 episodes a week for 4 weeks.

Replying here because I don't want to get bogged down in the Andor S2 trailer analysis. This release strategy is an interesting move. It could easily be read as desperation, allowing people to watch the new season as it airs for just one month's subscription rather than three. Or it could be a sign of terrific belief in the quality of the show, that they expect releasing three episodes at once (basically a movie per week) will get them tremendous hype, and that said hype will drive subscriptions.

Of course, it could be both - that they're desperate for a streaming hit after the last two live-action seasons bombed, and they think this is the best way to achieve it. In which case, they'd be hoping that the hype from the accelerated release schedule would lead to more subscriptions than they'd otherwise get, and thus overtake the potential lost revenue.

So, contrary to prior reporting, she's not stepping down from the CEO chair at the end of this year... but she'll probably be announcing the new CEO by the end of this year. And she'll be producing two more SW movies... one of which is already filmed, and the other is Shawn Levy's "standalone Star Wars story that’ll take place post-[Rise of Skywalker], maybe five or six years out." So, a bit of a "you say potato, I say potato" going on.

What's fascinating about that (rather gushing) interview is she doesn't mention the Rey movie at all. She says Simon Kinberg's trilogy "is the next iteration, the new saga that moves us into the future." So... where does that leave Rey?

Well, at least Lucasfilm also assured us via a BlueSky tweet this afternoon that Rian Johnson has finished his trilogy scripts, and will start shooting the first one by the end of this year! :bolian:
