Discussion Future Anthology Films Possibly On Hold

I’m a SW fan. If KK does not accept my invitation to have lunch, I’m going to assume there’s a huge coverup and that she’s being fired.

 

I keep sending her emails asking her if she's been fired, but nothing.

 

I believe she will be gone later then sooner because I do believe that Disney is trying to find the right replacement to be Ceo of lucasfilm so that means we can try best not having the star wars fatigue again.

Good find. I believe KK has made mistakes (which the article highlighted) but if Iger believes she can fix it great.

Other notable things in the article.

That flies in the face of the argument that the shift was just about Solo.

What's also interesting is that Ep IX and maybe Indiana Jones may be the only feature films KK is over - the rest being TV.

 

Thanks for the article, @Xinau .

You think the article "highlighted" her mistakes? Umm... OK.

Well, to be clear, they say that those two movies are the only currently active movies. But they do also talk about the B&W and Rian Johnson movies too (by the way, I notice you avoided commenting on that "Rian Johnson movies" part). But I think the point is that they've renewed her contract for another three years. That doesn't mean she'll be done in three years, just that that's how long she's been extended for for now. After that she could continue in the position and still be in charge when those other movies are released.

 

You like the word mentioned instead of highlighted? It sure didn't dodge the production issues, box office failures, or fan dissent. Sure than. It wasn't ignored as coincidence and circumstances

This isn't the thread to talk about Rian's trilogy. I was trying to be peaceful and on-topic. I could point out that it said B&W is a lock while RJ is only a possibility but I didn't want to be petty.

 

Someone giving on opinion on what might have caused a decision to happen doesn't somehow make it a fact. That part is nothing but speculation.

It also doesn't say anything like that IX and Indy might be the only feature films that may happen under Kennedy. The only thing it actually does say - and which isn't merely part of your interpretation - is that other SW-projects of the "near future" (which in itself is as unclear a term as it gets) might focus heavily on tv. That doesn't really say anything at all, because the tv-shows are obviously in production right now, while the following movies are much more vague yet. Non of this really says much about future plans either, because it is merely THR stating what is currently known to the public, not what Lucasfilm itself actually says about the future.

More like you took the vote of convidence by Disney and somehow tried to twist it into meaning something entirely different. Showing nothing more than your usual bias against Kennedy and the recent works of Lucasfilm.

A proper evaluation of what transpired would have been you acknowledging that your opinion of what Disney thought was completely and utterly wrong. Instead you tried to move the goalposts, while also pretending that there are things to be read between the lines which simply aren't there. Which is kind of odd, because you can be of the opinion that changes are necessary or that there was something wrong with the most recent movies while also accepting that you were wrong about what Disney was thinking. You don't need to cling to obscure theories that get debunked with each and every new news, because your opinion on what should be done and what Disney is actually planning to do, are in no way connected and thus don't depend on each other.

 

You shouldn't worry about me. Focus on the topic.

 

Haha. Yes, now is NOT the time to focus on what @2Cleva is saying or has said in the past. Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.

 

She only got a three year extension over a time period where only one Star Wars movie is most likely to come out since even 2021 seems to be very unlikely since as I said on another board rushing into production with anything at this point seems foolish (they will want to take their time especially since this is going to be "all new" material, have to get off on the right foot). Therefore this is a vote of confidence...with a massive asterik in front of it. Reminds me of an NFL HC who gets a short extension where the team is trying to allow it a quick escape clause in case the team falters quickly.

A 5-7 year deal would been a bigger seal of approval. This is one with an out clause. I don't blame Disney. It's a precarious time in the franchise history. It's moving into uncharted terroritory.

 

You realise production doesn't start with the release of the film? She'll be overseeing the most creatively rich phase of their development.

 

I guess she got fired, then.

 

Her contract might be extended but that does give her 3 years and 3 months because we are approaching December of 2018 but alot of fans are going to start another boycott starting with unfortunately star wars episode 9.

2021 is 3 years but we have 3 months til December 31st. My math is bad guys sorry.

 

what

 

I'm guessing this news means there definitely won't be a film in 2020, but maybe in 2021?

 

We won't know for sure yet, still could happen but unlikley. they will have 2021 not later, maybe sooner. Celebration we know for sure. either a new spin off or got's first saga movie.

 

Does she still have creative control of the star wars universe?

 

Of course she does...

Is this Earth? Are we still humans or have we been body-snatched? Somebody, do something!

 

This is bad news, Kathleen Kennedy might be a good producer, but terrible with creativity.

 

She’s produced two of my top Star Wars films, so I don’t agree.
