Am I surprised Disney extended Kennedy's contract as Lucasfilm president? No. What really matters is how Kennedy runs Lucasfilm moving forward and how future Star Wars perform at the box office. I wonder how IX and Rian's trilogy will do.

So basically she remains in charge through the end of this trilogy and probably the first film of the next trilogy. Meh. This trilogy is already doomed to apathy anyway. Don't really care particularly. Either she starts improving the mythos and the writing in the episodic films or it will continue the trend of box office drop off. And if that happens they'll eventually fire her or sink SW. And saying "I did it my way." is a small consolation prize if you have "RUINED STAR WARS" on your resume. Either way I've got a nice SW DVD collection without TFA and TLJ.

you always had that wonderful air of dignity around you, Crepy. Ever heard of the term "pyrrhic victory"?   When you laugh into an abyss the abyss laughs back at you.

"In all likelihood, Episode IX (the final installment of the classic Skywalker saga) should be another massive box office smash, and then Lucasfilm has an exciting future to look forward to."
That's the thing I hate the most right there (and it's probably true), that it will, despite all the complaints, still be a box office "smash". The fact is they are ALL stand alone movies now, just putting "Episode" in the title doesn't make it any different from Solo say.

In this case the "abyss" I'm laughing at are the I'm-not-sexists who do nothing but complain about female characters, and the I'm-not-racists who do nothing but complain about how there are too many minorities in the movies.

Well yeah, duh. 3 billion dollar movies in a row trump one major flop any day. Unless it lost $4B!

If she wasn't re-instated, it would then become about sexism and misogyny and wanting to replace her with a man because she was a feminist woman and is discriminated against.

I can’t wait for the day when “SJW” loses all meaning as an insult. By the way, I don’t care for Disney Star Wars.

Just because she's still in charge doesn't mean that the Sequels magically become good. They still aren't.

This is where it is becoming a big farce and even scary. Women have used sex as a tool throughout time to get what they want from men, but feminists use their actual gender as a tool to get what they want, by claiming sexism and misogyny and the media buys into it all. If men are being accused of getting positions of power and influence due to having a cock and balls, it is just turning the other way around and women are now getting these positons just because they have tits and a slit. Does ability to do the job and acumen not play a part in this anymore? Are men in the corporate business world afraid of women?
