Is Kathleen Kennedy stepping down from LucasFilms? what's up everybody? today I'm
here to talk a little bit more about Star Wars and the whole rumor going
around that Kathleen Kennedy will be stepping down of Lucasfilm now I'm
pretty sure that this news made a lot of things happy
mainly because the decisions that Kathleen Kennedy made towards the new
franchise upset a lot of the films myself included and so I'm pretty sure a
lot of the fans are pretty happy with these news however it's still not set in
stone it's still rumors but in my opinion there's two things that could
potentially be true either someone inside Lucasfilm tipped off the
media and that's why this rumor is going around or someone just decided to write
an article talking about Kathleen Kenny maybe stepping down mostly because solo
flopped and the rumor just starts spreading spreading is ready so I don't
know from these two possibilities maybe the first one is probably more likely to
be true because I do believe that maybe someone were tipped off and that's why
this whole rumor is going around however we still don't know what exactly
is going to happen but and then all we know is that there's still a war amongst
a Star Wars fans and Lucasfilm you know and Disney I'm pretty sure they're are
paying attention and there's also the shield media that is absolutely
infuriating you know every time you go and you open the Internet there's all
these crazy articles out there just like again bashing the fans and calling
everyone toxic doing this generalization that all the fans are this and all the
fans are dead and just controversy after controversy and it's just it really
blows my mind you know how Disney let it get this far you know if you go there's
a four B's article over here all the articles I'll be mentioning today I will
put the link below so you guys can check it out there's a Schumi
sheíll article here four B's you know say Kathleen Kennedy is still the best
person to make Star Wars movies so that's the headline and basically it's
just talking about solo and that the flop of solo or because it's not doing
so well sure mean that you should step down so this
is this article is basically just citing with her there's another article this is
on Express I believe this is a UK publication and the title is Star Wars
Han Solo flop and fan but boycott Kathleen Kennedy gone by September and
again they're just addressing the whole idea
could she be gone after now that solo flopped and blah blah blah and then you
know talking about the fans and and mainly because it lost a lot of money
and that's the whole thing with solo you know it's official now that it didn't
lose a lot of money because the problem with Kathleen Kennedy is that she she's
not really doing a good job and there that is mostly to do with her
decision-making okay first of all she hire directors she fired directors
because of creative differences you know because you know it has to be I mean who
knows exactly what's going on behind the scenes but there's that and then there's
the whole reshoot problems as well and all of this cost a lot of money and so
low ended up being a very costly film it was very expensive to produce and on top
of that the movie did not do well in the theaters and it's not it's not it made
like half of what they really need to make a profit out of it so it's really
not looking good and then there's another article here that's on a movie
web people know a movie you have a little bit more and it's say Kathleen
Kennedy may be leaving Lucasfilm and Star Wars so all the meters everywhere
is addressing this whole thing that she might be leaving and this has to come
from somewhere you know someone started this rumor now if it is no true rumor we
still don't know or if it is someone inside Lucasfilm that tipped off I just
believe that Disney is definitely worried right now because you know first
of all they weren't taking people's criticism serious you know they just
they were saying we heard it many many times it's just a minority of a very
vocal minority that is complaining about the direction of this film but in fact
the verse prove the contrary you know the
failure of solo the fact that there's also the DVD sales for lasted I did not
perform as well not even close to the force awakens' buries so that also kind
of proved that people a lot of people really did not like that movie no then I
went out and bought those blu-rays you know and on top of that there's also the
internet fight amongst the Lucas Films employees and the fans you know like Oh
kind of bashing the fans and it just it just blows my mind you know I look back
at George Lucas time you know I have never heard George Lucas disrespecting
the fans even though the fans bash him for the prequels you know because he's
he understood that he cannot break the relationship with the fans you know even
though I'm pretty sure he was hurt but hurt by a lot of the criticism he
understood that these are the clients and he shouldn't would wage a war
against your clients however this is not what we have been seen you know Ryan
Johnson's for instance on fire on Twitter you know like he's back firing
it and everyone and lately we also had the controversy with calimary trend
about the whole bullying thing and also made a video about that and if the
bullying really happened I think that that was terrible no one should be
bullied regardless if you are celebrity or not especially if you are an actor
you have no control over anything but again she hasn't said publicly the
reason why she's not on Twitter however we did see Mark Hamill also posting on
Twitter supporting her so I'm assuming that the bullying is really happened
because Mark Hamill maybe reached out to her and knows to be true that perhaps
she was bully and she just doesn't want she doesn't she want to step away from
social media and that also took a lot of heat on the internet every single
article addressing it and you know it's great that people are addressing it
because obviously bullying is not something
people should think that is okay to do bully is not right regardless of who the
person is or what role they played however she is not the first person to
suffer this bully okay how about the other people other celebrities that also
suffered bully but it did not get as near as much attention so then there's
it's hard for people to even believe on the media anymore because everyone a
Sheila now you know like is are they do doing this whole controversy because
they wanna you know kind of distract people from the failure of so lower but
I mean regardless of what they do it's still not gonna change the way that
people feel about these films you know because if they really do not do
anything to fix the broken relationship that I feel that the fandom is right now
I mean they're just gonna continue to lose more and more money and this
directly links to Kathleen Kennedy obviously the reason why I agree with
her stepping down and I think that would be the best thing for Lucasfilm is the
fact that you know she really sacrificed the story in order to bring a certain
agenda and it was not putting the film in a clever way you know it didn't blend
in with the story was actually shoved on people's face and he it sadly it
destroyed beloved characters in order for this agenda to be out there you know
so in my opinion the reason why I believe she should step down for sure
it's because I don't think she understands the Lord nor she cares about
the lore you know she sees it as this platform you know something that she can
preach a certain message which is fine you okay I have no problem with having
sjw stuff for instance if it didn't sacrifice the story if it blend in and
if it made sense and if you know but like having to destroy Luke Skywalker's
character the way it did in order to to have a girl look better for me this is
just not a good message to begin with you know
this is what created the whole controversy and I just think that it was
just not a smart way to go about it okay like if you look again I've said that a
couple of times already if you look back back at George Lucas Star Wars the
politics were always there right they were always there however it was not
about the politics it was about the characters so the politics the politics
were there but he blend in with the story but the whole the the heart of the
film were the characters and their relationship and that was there however
that relationship it's actually broken in these new films because all the
beloved characters are gone anyways that people get older and you know it's okay
I'm not even upset that they killed off the characters but I am upset the way
the execution of that you know eventually I knew that we've gotta have
to let these characters go but it should have been unrespectful and Sutton and
satisfyingly because to begin with no we wouldn't have
star wars if weren't for Luke Leia and Han so and my other problem as well with
Kathleen Kennedy's that before she you know when she was signing the papers and
we saw that the interview with George Lucas she said the important thing is to
continual George Lucas vision for these characters but that did not really
happen you know like obviously I cannot believe that George Lucas vision for
Luke Skywalker was to be milking at the sea cow you know and like being beaten
by his pod one and just being this person that it's just no not even close
to the character that he created you know so my problem with Kathleen Kennedy
is that her whole agenda Ilia nated the defense you know and it
just created this division where people cannot connect to this films anymore and
instead of actually having people understand the message that she's trying
to show the audience you know it's so shoved on people's face that they are
actually created on a version and people are actually angry at these
films especially because it destroyed beloved characters in order for you to
care for this for these other new characters and again they're not likable
characters either you know so not even that they're able to do so to me it's
very sad that you know the they keep Lucasfilm employees keep attacking the
fence and you know now all we hear this generalization that the fans are toxic
but again this fight going on amongst the look of Lucas Films employees and
the fans is just terrible PR you know and like how is anyone not doing
anything about it you know instead of telling them to shut up they keep
throwing more fire into the wood and every single day we open the Internet is
the shell and shield and shield media saying that people are racist and people
so seriously after every single like after all this time they're still not
listening to people real criticism like every single person is racist and now
they're using a whole calamari train situation to prove so it's just not
right and it's very unfortunate that if there are some fans out there bullying
these actors and they're making everyone else the whole fandom look looking bad
you know shame on you if you're the person doing that but again I truly
believe that the majority or the fans they're not the ones doing these things
and it's mostly the shoe media trying to make the fandom look bad but again like
is it with is it wise for Lucasfilm and Disney to actually accuse the fans like
that no because you know the fans are the one driving this franchise forward I
don't know how many times I have to say the fans are the one buying tickets buy
merchandise going to see the film's you know now if they don't stop this you
know and this is probably gonna start with Kathleen Kennedy stepping down
regardless so hopefully the rumors are true because you know if she stays I
have no problem she stays as long as she gets a director that understands the
lore and she forgets about forcing agendas on
people's face okay so that could be an alternative but would that be possible
I don't know because right now the relationship between her and the fans
are kind of broken people really hate her guts and people don't want to really
see her there you know but in my opinion it's also important to think about who
would take her place you know if she steps down and then you have someone and
in her place doing the very same thing we won't see a
change and there won't be a difference so it's very important that I mean
hopefully Lucasfilm and Disney they really pay attention that it's not only
Kathleen Kennedy or her agenda but it's also about who are they gonna put to
replace her if she does step down and how are they gonna carry this franchise
forward you know they should think that the movies are not about social agenda
than politics you know they're they're part of the film yes because they've
always been there however it's mostly about these
characters and their relationship and this human story is that so far it's not
there and in my opinion it's gonna be very hard for them to even bring this
back because all the characters that people actually love and care are pretty
much killed off you know so the mass is already done how are they going to fix
that I actually don't know they're gonna have to be very creative but again I
just it's kind of a sad time for the fandom of Star Wars I believe you know
that's one of the things that I just despised the last Jedi even more because
it is a movie that completely broke the fandom you know it completely created
this division and all this ugliness that we're seeing and now it's media against
the fans and the fans against Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson against the
fans and it's just this fight back and forth and you know calling people talks
it and all is the stuff which unfortunately there are okay
unfortunately there are some people out there that they are really racist they
can really take women and lead roles or decant there are
obviously there are I'm not saying that those people don't exist because there
are people other that I don't want any of that however it is not every single
person you know it's not every single criticism or every single person that is
complaining about this the direction of this film it actually has a problem with
women or a diversity - my biggest problem is that Star Wars always had
diversity okay like you watch those movies it's about a galaxy far far away
with that with so many alien characters and different languages you know again
George Lucas knew how to blend in this subject within the story without having
it be not enjoyable you know because that's how I view these movies are right
now they're no longer enjoyable you know you go there and you're just upset so I
don't know what's going to happen about you know concerning Kathleen Kennedy I
believe that very soon we will find out exactly if all this media talking about
her stepping down is indeed a rumor or if it's true I guess all we got to do
and wait and hope for the best right but anyways guys let me know what do you
think about this whole Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down
Lucasfilm do you think this is really happening do you think they're really
listening to the fans or do you think this war is nowhere near to be over drop
