That is not a Gonk droid. Hang your head in shame.

 

Ok Gonk Droid brain transfer to evil Astromech body would green light some interesting projects. Maybe we'll finally get A Droid Story!

 

Does he even Star War????

 

You can't be serious. I won't deny there were definitely high points to her tenure, but there were real issues with it as well.

Out of the suggestions in this article I would be fine with Filoni and Favreau together or Filoni with a more experienced executive. I don’t know much about the others except J.J. Abrams and that’s probably not a good idea.

 

Don't worry; I think the least likely on that list is Abrams.

 

J.J. Abrams: Abrams directed the wildly successful Star Wars relaunch The Force Awakens but also its lambasted entry, The Rise of Skywalker. He clearly has an affinity for the brand and, with Bad Robot, managed a small media empire. But he and Bad Robot have hit a rough and unproductive patch, and the filmmaker is only now getting ready to shoot his first movie since Skywalker. But that could be because of the blaster stun from his Star Wars experience, which proved harrowing. “I don’t see him coming back to that toxic cesspool,” says one insider. “It definitely left a mark on him.”

Me-Ouch!

 

Just say no to JJ!

What a disaster.

 

CNN reports that Kathleen Kennedy isn't leaving.

The ‘Star Wars’ chief is staying on at Disney, despite a report that she’s leaving. At least for now | CNN Business

 

That seems more like a no comment than a denial.

 

Basically what it is saying is that when plans are made to step down it will be announced
and to not believe these social media people.

She likely is going to retire within the next couple years but doesn't sound like plans are made for it yet.

 

Dude, believe it or not I can read. I don’t need you explaining to me what it says.

 

This is a job for an evil droid!

 

I heard a rumor that Rogue Squadron is going to release in 2026, on the 40th anniversary of the original Top Gun.


























Yeah, it's a rumor I started, so what's your point?

 

IIIIIIIIIIInconsistent.

Jeff Sneider is on it and he mentioned Carrie Beck with Dave Filoni would he ideal if he says yess.

 

A trustworthy source if there ever was one

 

Thats the most likely outcome i say. It does not have to be big name, but rather come from within the company. And some people still do not understand that the job is not a creative one. Hiring and spotting talent, yes. Reading scripts yes. But most of the job is about dealing with Disney on budget and release plans + managing commercial divisions.

I suspect there will be a transition period and overlap with the Mandalorian and Grogu launch next year, and Kennedy might stay on as executive producer for that one and a couple others of the feature films they have lined up. Being 71 is not really that old for a top Hollywood producer, and you can work on top level, without doing much work.

 

Anyway CNN is saying she isn’t leaving so I guess that’s that

 

None of the reports says she is leaving tomorrow. So in that sense, we can just close that book and wait for the next chapter to be written. Her contract runs out this year and i really hope for someone who has been abused and exposed for so much hate online - as she has: That she can manage her own narrative surrounding her resignment / retirement decicion - when it happens.
