In this edition of cinema issues we are talking about Kathleen Kennedy, the Karen in chief herself, and the power of nepotism.
So first things first Kennedy only got to where she was by being friendly with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. That’s it.
Under her tenure the Sequel Trilogy died as it was devised without a cohesive plan.
A Han Solo film flopped after Kathy refused Lorde and Miller any kind of creative control.
Most films that she announced never happened.
And most of the shows on Disney plus she greenlit, were either forgotten about in the case of Skelton Crew, or died a humiliating death looking at you Acolyte.
What were her successes in this obituary, I suppose people like Andor, she was involved with that I mean mildly but I guess that’s her win. Remember she wanted to go out on a win. She can’t have the Mandalorian that was all John Faverau and Dave Filloni.
She leaves Star Wars as a husk of a TV brand that is increasingly irrelevant and that spat so many times on its fans they stopped coming.
Now she is leaving Lucas film and a man is taking over as creative director, I guess the force wasn’t female after all.
