A Shift In The Force For Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy: The Exit Interview
Not two hours after wrapping Star Wars: Starfighter, Kathleen Kennedy was ready to discuss the long-in-the-works transition of Lucasfilm.

"And as you have read, Steve Soderbergh and Adam Driver turned in a script written by Scott Burns. It was just great. Anything’s a possibility if somebody’s willing to take a risk."
"Mangold’s is really on the back burner as is Soderbergh’s."
I thought the Driver thing was 100% dead, but... now it's on par with Mangold?

Needs to come with a weighted average of how many times they were wrong on the subject, too.
If only…
is this a step up for her? that she focus on producing films instead?
I don't know if I would call it that thought it might be a matter of perspective. I could see her enjoying the chance to get away from the drama that comes from running Star Wars to producing movies that are more personal to her. Plus she is super rich. So it's not like she will be needing to do stuff just for money at this point.
Yes. That's what we waited 20 years for: One guy. On security footage.
Since the OT Kathleen Kennedy gave us a movie with Vader as a nearly unstoppable power. Lucas gave us "the high ground".
Vader is actually kind of a whiny troll, isn't he? He can take out little kids and the Jedi who were left behind and not on the front lines. He takes out Kenobi only when Kenobi clearly lets him. Maybe that was George's original vision and Kennedy (and Filoni) screwed it up with Rogue One and Rebels?
You waited 28 years to see Vader "help" the Empire "hunt down and destroy" the Jedi.
Then you got ROTS, where he's clearly not helping at all! Thanks for nothing, slave boy. Little help?
(Never mind the issue that hunting down a group is a little easier when you happen to know where they're all hanging out. Nailed it!)
And you just know he stopped at the one guy. Drallig's no Lay's potato chip after all.
It's all about knowing what Obi-Wan was really saying without saying it: that Vader did it all himself. Like when he claimed -- as people insisted for many years -- that Anakin was "noble". The fact that it never happened only makes it that much more true.
Total lack of surprise here. When it was built, I noted that it could easily be re-themed if needed.
But the article only mentions Disneyland, are they not doing this with the one in Walt Disney World in Florida?
Not at the present time, no.
Of course not. WDW always seems to be the red-headed stepchild to DL.
It's a step back to what she is good at. She's unfortunately tarnished her legacy as one of the greatest movie producers of all time. She's really good at executing other people's vision, but seems to be bad at the creative side of things. It'll be years before we get any good tell-alls about what actually happened behind closed doors at Lucasfilm.
I would've said,that it's the opposire, actually, given how much more expansive WDW is on the whole.
