Kathleen Kennedy to step down from Lucasfilm (after 2021)?

What makes this story really sad is. The interview that was for the Star Wars show. She was giddy with the excitement of being in a Star Wars movie. And after the film, soulless monsters and cowards emboldened by the anonymity that their computer or phone screens provide, tore into her like a pack of rabid dogs. Let us strive to never say anything that we would not say face to face.

Interesting to note that The Meg made more money in its opening weekend in China than TLJ and Solo combined made during their entire run there. Wow. Granted, those runs were only a week in duration.

That may partially have something to do with the setting of the movie being in Asia with focus on China and some Thailand. So there may an increased interest level plus they tend to like monster movies more.


Different genre of movie so the comparisons of box office might not work.

That is what I strive for. It is what plenty of people I know strive for. However, the generations coming up now? Sadly I can't say the same for. The problem is a lot bigger than Star Wars. I know teens who have no interest in making friends or meeting people face to face. I know two 17 year olds who have no interest in getting their driver licenses. Sure, folks will jump immediately to "Well, that's a parenting failure". That may be partly to blame, but not entirely. Call me chronocentric, but I see generations coming up with a problematic lack of empathy. They don't worry about saying things to people face to face. They don't have to, when everything they feel needs to be said, can be said via social media.

Sorry to go off topic, but I think this is a huge problem.

I`m surprised you didnt throw in the fact that Shark Fin soup is a delicacy in China as well and the prospect of a 30 foot shark fin was irresistible [emoji38]. Please, I think your jumping the shark with that. Three words...The Ex Files.

This should surprise no one, but people said the exact same thing about your generation when you were young, too. And an even older generation said the same thing about that old generation when they were young. And so on...

Contrary to popular belief I wasnt trying to argue against your point or anything, i think it's kind of like if a movie gets made where you live you might have some i terest in seeing it.

I dont have any factual basis of it being the case, just speculating.

I wonder if Bob Iger will address the issue of Disney`s number one IP being officially dead in lets face it is the worlds biggest market after a solid debut with TFA and R1 at the next shareholders meeting.

Then why are you constantly defending it here in this thread? Dead things dont break over 2 Billion at the BO when they are re introduced. Taking a cheap shot at the PT doesnt help your cause either. Oh, but you hated and loved that at the same time so sure, why not. Your just opportunity posting.
