Why do you care? Why should I care? We're not the ones with an unnatural obsession with a celebrity...
I'll throw you a bone here... I've said that Kennedy may find herself "retiring" if The Rise of Skywalker stumbles. I said that months ago, money talks and is the driving force of pretty much anything and everything that goes on. Now, if The Rise of Skywalker bounces back and does in the $1.5+ billion dollar ballpark, she probably gets a raise and Disney pushes the accelerator on more movies. One day you're the hero, the next a goat, then a hero again... it is the way of the world. Because the only people this stuff should be important to is the Disney shareholders, the people who want to hear from the head of the company because that is the head they will demand if things go sour.
Honestly, I think it's beyond "interesting" for you. I think it's pretty obsessive. A lot of people liked Andor. And, I guess that's what commercials are for, ya know? We judge people all the time. Whether or not we like someone. Whether or not we feel safe around someone. Whether or not we respect someone's opinion. And, wouldn't that be true of you judging Kathleen Kennedy? You seem to be judging her a lot. We absolutely have the right to judge people.
To be fair, that one has had me scratching my head. He wasn't a character that really made any kind of impression on me. Though that is a MMV situation.
Like I said: Eventually Kennedy will be gone. The people who are claiming this entire time that will happen will claim some sort of a victory. There is none. Wanting someone gone and seeing that happens does not make one a winner.
I think the acknowledgement of moral ambiguity was a breath of fresh air in a franchise which has so rarely opted to challenge itself or its' heroes.
My point is: This incessant desire to see someone gone because you don’t like the direction of an entertainment franchise is pathetic. Perhaps people who are so obsessed should find a better hobby.
I know, I was just being philosophical about the whole thing, possibly to suggest that none of it really matters, nothing really matters, at all...... any way the wind blows......
Looking at the numbers, they made back the money they spent getting "Star Wars" from Lucas already. Rise of Skywalker will likely be were they either make profit, or brake even from all the other costs with making these films. But that also means that any Star Wars production after Rise of Skywalker is profit.
To be fair, there are those production costs in there. Regardless, yes. I imagine even with the box office failure of Solo, this would be the break-even point.
