Re: Kathleen Kennedy to step down from Lucasfilm?
I don't disagree. Like I said, I didn't love TLJ-- but I have said this a thousand times and will say it a thousand more. When a group of people get together and become the loudest voice with their shared opinion, that does not make them a majority.
They COULD be. I wouldn't be surprised if fandom was fractured-- but it's not something I can just accept because some mad fans say so. I was on the flip side of this for the PT. NO ONE I knew liked those movies, they seemed objectively bad-- and yet, they made a crap ton of money and SW celebration events were still sold out with screaming fans.
Disney hasn't halted work on the theme park expansions. They haven't shut down any movies (all we've heard are rumors). I'm sure Solo taking a hit has made them regroup and change some plans, like any studio would after a bomb, but there is ZERO proof if them being in "damage control" outside of editorial opinions-- which ALWAYS have a insular point of view. Kathleen Kennedy isn't speaking in public! No way! Show me one other studio mouthpiece who is in the public eye when they DON'T have a movie or event to plug.
I have no problem with people not liking TLJ, but I will always take issue with people trying to control the narrative and using it to put down other people by saying they are stupid, lesser fans, in denial, etc.
