If the leaks are true, JJ will have successfully made TLJ look like Saving Private Ryan

They're still involved with re-shoots and editing so at this point in time, it's safe to say that no one knows how this movie will work or end.

The day that KK fired Trevorrow back in August 2017, the release date should have been moved from December 20, 2019 to May 22th, 2020, giving them 5 more months in which to complete the film.

Like so many others, I'll be surprised if the film isn't a complete and utter disaster.

Holy ****. They’re still doing reshoots 6 weeks before release?

Maybe I’m an uncultured rube - but that does not inspire confidence.

Yes. I mentioned it last week in my post and it was confirmed in an Entertainment Weekly article this week.

No, it does not.

The writing credits for Episode IX now include Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connelly - the two men fired by KK in August 2017.

After KK went through every topline director in town and was refused, she went back to Abrams. Abrams and Terrio initially threw out the Trevorrow script but problems with the film and limited time to reshoot meant going back to elements of the original script.

George has also been brought in as a "consultant" by none other than Bob Iger himself.

I've seen a few articles floating around the internet that indicate the release date could be moved to May 2020 but I haven't been able to confirm that with anyone on my end.

Wow.

Would it be safe to say that all problems sort of flow down from Kennedy?

yeah to my layman’s understanding that sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Yeah, I just read what you're presumably talking about. Good fucking God, that was bad. Hopefully that's just a shitty 4chan troll but the depressing thing is that actually seems like something they'd do.

I'm legit curious as to how Kathleen Kennedy still has a job, tbh.

No shit. She basically took the golden egg laying goose and fucked it to death with a plunger handle.

It's because there weren't many people that were even considered to run Lucasfilm after the acquisition. She'd been a mega successful producer in her own right before taking the job, she's close friends with Spielberg and Lucas and she really wanted the opportunity.

The bigger question is this: Who would/could/should replace her?

I know that the easy response is "Anyone!". But look at Marvel's history before Kevin Feige - it's awful. And in the eyes of many, the hiring of RDJ is what really launched Marvel. That said, I don't think that Feige could have accomplished what he's done without hitting a home run with Iron Man.

The obvious choice to run Lucasfilm is Dave Filoni but like Favreau, he's not "Studio Execs". They both want to create and it's next to impossible to do so when you're running a studio and responsible for billions of dollars of decisions, let alone, scores of people.

Please don't mistake this post as any kind of "confidence" in KK. But running Lucasfilm comes with a massive amount of responsibilities, from billions of dollars to literally, billions of fans and the Disney Board.

It's a job I wouldn't want, for even a heartbeat, regardless of the monetary compensation.

Didn't watch TLJ after I saw some summaries and won't watch this shit. Outside the name Star Wars these POS's have nothing in common with the others so no need to watch.

I just don't understand this attitude. When i watch ANY Star Wars film, original or new, i've never walked away feeling like i just watched some artistic cinematic masterpiece.

Every single one of them is kinda hokey and silly. Fun and entertaining? Absolutely. But i mean c'mon, they're really not much better than your typical Hollywood sci-fi flick.

At its core Star Wars is a kids movie, but like The Wizard of Oz it transcends others of the same genre because of the emotional attachment it created.
