By either Jon Favreau or Dave Filoni for that matter. According to Bob Chapek:
“We’ve been absolutely thrilled that we can have the kind of talent like Kathy Kennedy to direct Lucasfilm… We look forward to having Kathleen Kennedy running the Lucasfilm organization for many years to come.”

The haters really need to stop believing "inside sources" saying she's being replaced. They've been saying this for years, and keeping proved wrong. The SW movies on her watch have a higher per movie average than the MCU, and Mando is one of the most successful streaming shows ever. You don't fire someone who makes you fat stacks.

Why do people think Disney's management didn't know what they were paying for?
They want the political stuff.
Lucas himself was the textbook liberal filmmaker of the 70s and 80s.
It is just following the schedule of increasing the political element.

"Not the best" is on brand for CrepedCrusader, I swear this guy is either a troll or works for Kathleen Kennedy personally at this point.

I’m not sure they wanted the hit to their merchandising revenue. It's hard to fathom how they expect to have fans when they alienate their audiences. I think Michael Eisner sincerely thought that if he appeared in show intros for Disney that he could influence people like Walt did but it didn't work. He didn't like animation. He said it was a bad investment but they had to keep making it because it was the company's legacy. That lack of enthusiasm isn't a good sign.
Pixar had enthusiasm but now they have become absorbed by the Disney management.
According to the report on their streaming, they are doing terrible. 100 million subscribers out of a world population of 8 billion?
That's horrible results. Assuming that's accurate.
I don't see a change in direction--I expect as the Titanic sinks they will just play the music louder. They are the only boat around--so it's not like people have a choice.
If you don't like Disney then you got Warner Bros which isn't so impressive these days either. Ditto with Universal. Oh but then Blumhouse comes to the rescue with Halloween remake sequel no. 5.

Why would they fire her right now? The Mandalorian is a huge success. And the new shows planned sound promising. Or at the very least not flops. And the big screen movies are in hiatus right now. Now if they start the big screen movies back up again, she gets overly involved in the creative process again, and they post 2 “Solo style” flops in a row... she’s going to be in the hot seat! Rumors or no rumors. |

The plan is for Kevin Feige to take over after the next MCU phase finishes , he is a big Star Wars fan

The SW movies on her watch have a higher per movie average than the MCU, and Mando is one of the most successful streaming shows ever. You don't fire someone who makes you fat stacks. Except at best without TFA which was boosted by huge nostalgia not quality, then her SW movies break even overall, the profit is really coming from TFA, under her they have seen their merchandising sales cut in half, and it's JF and DF making them fat stacks with The Mandalorian not KK. As for the MCU making less than SW, yes barely, since the Disney purchase of the MCU including the distribution rights therefor making MCU movies all Disney releases, the 16 movies in question average a total of $1,142,527,040 in ticket sales each, SW on the other hand have averaged $1,184,977,968 per release over the 5 films, just barely 3% higher than the MCU despite the MCU outputting over 2 films per year on average in that time, where as from 2015-2019 SW averaged 1 film per year, oh then lets get into budgets shall we, taking the highest reported number for each movie the MCU averages a production budget of $216,687,500 per film whilst SW averages $280,400,000 per film, an increase of about 29.5%, so the average MCU in a simple break down is $1,142,527,040 - $216,687,500 = a plus of $925,839,540 for the MCU per film, whilst SW is $1,184,977,968 - $280,400,000 = a plus of $904,577,968 per film, making the MCU overal about a 2.3% better property than SW per film, and the MCU produces well over double the content than SW per year which means MCU = the better brand. So sorry to disappoint you, you boot licking sob, but what you say as per usual is bullshit.

(Yes, I know that doesn't make sense, but it made me laugh.) Also, Kathleen Kennedy is a producer on Mando, so every time you watch that show, she wins. |

Per wikipedia: as a producer, Kennedy is third behind Kevin Drive and Steven Spielberg in domestic box office receipts.

Nothing you say makes sense because all you say is sycophantic drivel you mindless numpty. TROS grossed over $1b no doubt about it, it made like under $30m in profit from the box office though, thats the point you simpering twat, does SW gross a lot of money? yes, but they cost a lot more money than the MCU films do, and they make less profit as such, and unlike the MCU SW is not a multi picture a year sustaining brand, the one time they tried to have more than 1 movie in under a year they saw that second movie be the first SW in history to be a bomb, not just a bomb but a massively costly bomb, and then when they waited a year and a half to release the next one it barely turned a fucking profit, dickhead under Kennedy SW went from the box office golden goose to goose shit in 5 years, the average slasher movie is more profitable than TROS was at the theatres, you fucking dunce.
