Every male Star Wars fan knows a girl who thinks they are stupid for loving Star Wars, Kathleen Kennedy is that girl and she is in charge of Star Wars, now. Discuss.

As I've said elsewhere here Kennedy needs a good, stiff slap across her ugly resting bitch-face with a big, flaccid rubber lightsaber.

Disney.
The company that brought you Force Trees, Jedi Knights reincarnated as space wolves & the most pointless death of a beloved scoundrel character I've ever saw.

I think the new kings of Star Wars do understand it, but they don't like it and want to change it to fit their vision. They don't want the original popular characters to overshadow their new ones. And they aren't skilled writers or storytellers.
As long as people keep giving them money, Disney is happy, and they'll never change.

To the extent they "misunderstand" it, their ignorance is willful and focus-grouped and part of their grand, insidious plan to terraform the Star Wars galaxy into another Disney princess property for little girls.

Kennedy says so many disqualifying things in this article. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/02/kathleen-kennedy-hollywood-producerKennedy confessed to having looked down her nose at one of the biggest films of the era—Spielberg’s Jaws—which she regarded at the time as too lowbrow. “I was in my 70s cinephile phase,” she said, shaking her head. ^Ugh!Kennedy told me that, while she’s excited about the future of the movie business, “a lot of these big movies are just a collection or a montage of big set pieces. And there is, in some cases, this feeling of: ‘Oh, it doesn’t really matter if there’s a central spine to the storytelling. As long as we keep it moving—and the effects are huge and it’s loud and the music’s great and the locations are fantastic—it’s all going to wash over the audience.’ ” She calls the result of such assumptions “disposable filmmaking.”^The Force Awakens is exactly the kind of disposable filmmaking she is criticizing here. WTF, Kathleen? Referring to a notorious scene in Return of the Jedi, I asked Kennedy if she would ever have put Princess Leia in a golden bikini—the famous “slave Leia” costume that is embedded in the collective unconscious of legions of men who were adolescents in the 80s. “With a chain around her neck?,” Kennedy asked, arching an eyebrow and laughing. “I don’t think that would happen.” She quickly added that she didn’t think George Lucas would put her in that bikini today.^WRONG answer, Kathleen. There is NOTHING wrong with that scene, you do not know better than George Lucas on this subject.

Besides your example, she kept talking about knowing the characters. Why the heck were the characters in TFA so flat then? George Lucas's wife agrees with you that he would have kept that bikini scene in place today, there's nothing wrong with it.

I did find it interesting that when the official Star Wars website had their " Women of Star Wars" gallery collection, they left out Jabba's six-breasted dancer... Why no love for her, Disney?

Poor Yarna. I can't abide those Disney hacks. Disgusting creatures.

Kathleen Kennedy is often cryptically disingenuous in what she says whenever SW is the subject. But it doesn't take much sifting to unearth the hypocrisy in what she says sometimes. Not only were TFA's characters flat but the characters (especially the new ones) often contradicted their own development and characterization. How does that help the audience genuinely know the character?

I love when stupid prequel lovers try to make it look like there's anything deep or profound TO understand about Star Wars. You people are pathetic.
