Simple enough fix. You pick a new head of Lucasfilms, someone from outside and cite the need to move in a new direction. That person creates and couple of new departments within Lucasfilms and brings in more people from outside to work on some new projects. You let the existing teams there work on new ideas and if they're garbage you just don't green light them. The new teams probably have a few good ideas that do get the go ahead. A year or so down the track the new teams are being productive and getting stuff made, however most of the old teams ideas aren't going anywhere. So you announce layoff, and those layoffs happen mostly in the old KK hired teams. You can also do things like create positions, for example move people to the new Ryan Johnson trilogy. Then 6 months down the track, you pull the plug on that and let go the people attached to it.

As crazy as it sounds, to conventional sensibilities, this may actually have been deliberate 'cultural defilement'. Yuri Bezmenov (ex-KGB) warned us (in the famous interview) that the Marxists will deliberately subvert and defile western culture from the inside, especially targeting youth, because it can't win a military or economic victory. Star Wars was perhaps THE most powerful and important piece of 'sacred mythos' that modern western society had, especially for young people, because we've rejected Christianity more and more. Joseph Campbell advised George Lucas on the hero's-journey themes and archetypes for the original 2 movies, which made them so special, and Campbell said in an interview with Bill Moyers that since Christianity is waning so badly for youth, the most impactful sacred mythos was Star Wars. That makes Star Wars the #1 target to defile and destroy, if you are trying to bring down the west through a long and ongoing campaign of cultural subversion. Take the most inspirational mythos and turn it into junk that no longer motivates people on an emotional-spiritual level. It's a huge demoralization, and is very powerful. By the way, we see the same dynamic with Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, etc. Is this really all just one big coincidence? I think it would be absurdly naive to think that these billion dollar corporations can't figure out how to produce something decent. Then start looking behind the scenes in these corporations, to see any patterns with who owns/runs them. See if there's any overlap with global Marxism and that group... Things get really dark really fast when you start to notice the patterns.

But then I suffered to finish the Book of Boredom Fett, but Kenobi was right around the corner. Surely they couldn't get this wron-- Oh, they got it very wrong. By that point, Marvel was also floundering, the Live Actions were sharting out like so much diarrhea, and I decided to cut my ties to Disney. I watch the internet review and mock the releases that came afterwards, and I have not once regretted my decision to stop giving Disney money. I gave in for Deadpool, the honest reviewers of KZbin were saying it was good, and I still want to support GOOD movies. But all the way up to its opening weekend, I sat on the fence, unsure if Disney would interfere and ruin it like all the other projects that they've pushed. But Star Wars.... I don't think I will come back. Not unless they actually give it to someone who wants to tell a good story, entertain the paying audience, and honor Lucas' legacy. But at long as she's there, even if they got George, himself, to direct just one more film, I would probably skip it: just to spite her and not give her the "win" she wants.

Just like back in the eighties and nineties, if a character was an instant expert at something they otherwise knew nothing of, it immediately broke your immersion and that movie was condemned to the trash heap. I should have known better but when the second one came out, the last Jedi or whatever, I still had some hope and I gave it the benefit of the doubt. I almost booed out loud and walked out of the theater that night and regret that I didn’t. No words can say. I turned my back on Disney and Star Wars ever since and will never go back no matter what and I’m glad everyone else is finally seeing it and doing the same.

Indiana Jones was ruined earlier by Spielberg and Lucas already with that Crystal Skull stupidity. South Park made an episode about how they raped Indy. old Indy should NOT have been milked for money at all. also the Star Wars prequels, they were watchable, but lets say uneven quality. (moreover, the third of the original trilogy was also pretty weak.) Lucas was good in putting his childhood dreams into movies, and Spielberg always had a knack for gripping the emotions of the audience. they made fantastic things in their career, but they are not flawless gods, especially Lucas. of course none of this saves the uninspired fail-train that was driven by Kennedy. Lucas created some really big hits before he started grinding them down. for KK it is just the latter.

It would take something very spectacular to even START getting us back onboard now. It would have to be better storytelling than the OT, and better special effects than the PT/ST, and even then it probably wouldn't get everyone back.

The way I see it, the Sequel Trilogy became not a continuation of the story told by George Lucas, but rather a horrifically bad retelling of the Original Trilogy, orchestrated by Kathleen Kennedy to replace Luke Skywalker as the Jedi to rebuild the order with a female character who was ridiculously overpowered with no faults, who even stole the Skywalker name for herself at the end of the ninth film. They did also employ a group of people who did not have a proper story mapped out. JJ Abrams stayed true to form, re-imagining A New Hope with The Force Awakens. Rian Johnson attempted to deconstruct the mythology and subvert expectations with The Last Jedi (and it was poorly executed). Then they dumped Colin Trevorrow from the ninth film and replaced him with Abrams who retconned and course corrected what Johnson had done and it all left things in a giant mess that should be wiped from existence.

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away

Points for the Ozymandias reference!

This is a massive, massive lie. She ain't going anywhere, ever. She's gonna ride that ship straight to the bottom.

[@richtes]

How far is the bottom from where they are now?

[@TheEmperorHyperion]

​@@richtespast the Titanic and the Titan sub.

[@somethinglikethat2176]

The ship is still attached to the rest of Disney, they can't let it continue forever. It will drag the whole show down at this rate.

[@fixer1140]

Doomcok would like to know your current location

[@batboy555]

It will go down like an ocean gate sub.

[@DavidTyler-o6t]

What people need to realize is that if Dave filoni was in Kathleen’s position (as many think they want) the company would be in even worse shape

[@Write-Stuff]

Money no longer matters, nor has it mattered for a long time. Their sole goal is to destroy that which you love-and they'll spare no expense to do so.

[@edgepixel8467]

Bingo. It's a culture war. And the old heroes and symbols are the targets.

[@Name-nz4kt]

Unfortunately, you are correct.

[@Gerrieberrie76]

Don't forget their side quest of making everything gay in the process

[@Name-nz4kt]

@@edgepixel8467 I wouldn't call it a culture war- that implies that we have a fighting chance. We've already lost. There will be a course correction, but we are only seeing the start of that now. Or to quote Heath Ledgers Joker: "It's not about the money- it is about sending a message"

[@lockymonster]

England and the BBC had someone like that, impervious to criticism, Jimmy savile .

[@paulrippcord506]

Wasn’t that dude involved in having a naked puzzle basement?

[@jcm3732]

Just watched the Netflix doc on Jimmy Saville. Being American, I'd never heard of him before. Wow😮

[@tobylanglois3698]

Dude seemed like the most likable guy too. Too bad he was a fucking abusive monster.

“Somehow Kathleen Kennedy returned.”

[@musashidanmcgrath]

As Spielberg said of KK: 'whatever else you say about Kathleen, one thing she's really good at is interupting people...'

[@hroedlyon2954]

Ms. Kennedy is a casebook example of the Peter Principle at work.

2021 Disney shares were over $200, now they are under $90. Bob Iger needs to do her a favour & ask her to retire quietly as the Acolyte was awful 🙈

[@seanmoriarty2]

As theory says if she does retire they’ll just replace her with a younger more toxic dei hire. Disney SW is toast

[@zoso1980]

Now you're getting it. It's a Disney culture issue. KK just salutes. Disney's brand has DEI'd Star Wars, KK just followed orders. You think she's bad? You're right, when she's gone, the connection to Lucas will be gone. The new DEI President of Lucasfilm will have no loyalty or connection, just to the Disney corporate agenda. KK is just being a good soldier, Disney has wanted this to align SW with DEI, you've seen a similar move with Star Trek in recent years.

[@jq8913]

She'll probably even be hand picked by KK

[@nickmhc]

@@zoso1980this is why I don’t blame just her. I do think it’s a company wide issue
