Gina Carano Sueing for Wrongful Termination from Disney

[Jayson1]

If they want to hire her I would be okay with it. I suppose they could be trying to mend fences with lots of fans who have left SW and wants them to come back. Not sure that would be enough. Chances are they aren't coming back until Kennedy, leaves.

Kennedy is an institution. She's been around forever.

Shes supposedly retiring soon. Hopefully they'll get someone better. She championed making Luke's role lesser in the new films and basically to kill off his character. Helped to ruin star wars

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Ah, yes, ignore the long, well-thought out post entirely and focus on the low hanging fruit of nothingness. That's always a good course for being taken serious.

And that's before getting to the old and tired and beleaguered belittlement of Kennedy.

 

[Jayson1]

Kennedy is just as hated as Lucas was before her and just as hated as the person who will replace her. People will be slightly less harsh on her when the new person starts screwing up but their are a few things she won't ever live down.

With Lucas it will be not letting people see the original versions on Blu Ray and Greedo shooting first. Also Jar Jar.

Kennedy it will be the sequel trilogy and not getting the old gang together for one more adventure together. Also sort of being at head of the brand as it has become less relevant than where it was when Disney first bought it.

Who knows why people will hate the new person. That will be revealed in time.

That entire production plan with her taking center stage in that planned Star Wars Ranger show died with her dismissal, Disney has moved on well past the need to have her in a project and Mando is moving to the big screen and is in pre-production with not even a peep about her having a role there.

I still don’t get why they didn’t just go ahead with Rangers of the New Republic, just scratching her character out of the plan and replacing her with a new one. Besides which, Carson Teva deserves a series.

Kathleen Kennedy merely had the misfortune to be Alex Kurtzman/Rick Berman/George Lucas/Russell T Davies/Steven Moffat/John Nathan-Turner/Gene-Roddenberry-if-the-Internet-had-existed-back-then.

I think it was the time when Disney would throw any idea against the wall to see what stuck aka the Marvel approach to movie/show making that worked out well for them , Maybe they were worried about the bad Carano publicity to start off a whole new project and didn't want to recast the character as she was popular back in the day ( i liked her character and portrayal too and would have liked to see a Ranger show with her as the or one of the leads). Well that was before she proved she is an idiot of course.

Responsibility for the quality of projects is still her domain, she gave the final thumbs up for multi-million dollar projects like Acolyte that turned out to be less than horse crap. When you're at the top you get the good but also take the bad. Now when you have fans rather than customers it tends to skew to the more emotional and irrational side when it comes to critique but she's been in entertainment long enough to be able to take and handle it.

I think the writers deserve some of the blame for that.

Hammer needs a slot!

Really bizarre. It was the best thing the franchise had done in quite some time. As someone once said, What can men do against such reckless hate?
