And, so what?
99% of all Harlequin romance novels are written by women.
So fucking what?
We judge material on the basis of it's merit, not on arbitrary traits unrelated to merit.

Would not be a problem if KK was not out there promoting diversity and inclusion Oh don't get me wrong, I completely understand that Kathleen Kennedy runs her mouth off and brags about how "inclusive" she is. And I agree that she should either stick with her convictions or GTFO. But that being said I think it should be more about merit rather than some other bullshit unrelated to it. I do wish that Disney didn't give her so much control over Star Wars. |

I am afraid this is the point where I must remind you about being "smarter, more mature and more righteous" again. No offence, dude. |

Seeing how a single white man wrote and directed 40% of the film franchise this is not surprising and simply click bait bullshit, if you want to point out the BS about KK declaring how she's going to welcome diversity, give opportunities and such but then hasn't hired any women or people of colour to write or direct any of the films she's greenlit fine, but title it as such because like I said 40% of the entire franchise was written and directed by a single person it there by skews the data, plus so what anything that happened prior to KK's appointment as head of the brand doesn't fall on her shoulders so it's a pointless fact to point out.

I have a solution that would please everyone on this board: Hire Guillermo del Toro to make the next trilogy instead of RJ. Quotas can be met and we also have a fantastic director at the helm who will make good movies.

Who are the other 4%? Was one of the prequels directed by George's Mexican cousin Jorge Lucas?

Who are the other 4%? Was one of the prequels directed by George's Mexican cousin Jorge Lucas? Empire had Leigh Brackett, a woman  write the screenplay at one point but then she passed away and Kasdan wrote the final version, with her input somewhat debated as supposedly Lucas hated her version and Kasdan redid everything after Lucas redrafted the script a few more times, but her script had a lot of the elements we got in Empire still in it.
But that's it the female input to the series in terms of writer or directors came almost 40 years ago, which may or may not be even a fair credit just given how writing credits and stuff can work out in Hollywood so fuck knows.
