| Faelco said: Soundwave, you're acting like if the only other option is to fire her and get a newbie to do the job. Why? Is it really inconceivable for you that they could give another of their big franchises to Kennedy and get another big producer (is she the only one in Hollywood?) to take Star Wars? The fans are happy, her image is safe, Disney can hope for a better trend... Minimal harm in this scenario. Just like "Don Mattrick got hired by Zinga, so we put his number two at his place". Perfectly normal in any kind of industry. |
It's not going to happen because anyone who really has any real understanding of how that industry works knows full well how that goes. Past that a lot of this is nonsense, 3 $1 billion grossing films out of 4 (soon to be 4/5) is remarkable business for any franchise, one misstep with Solo that wasn't even Disney's idea is not going to cause a change anywhere. If anything Solo not doing great business just shows they shouldn't use any of Lucas' ideas and were right to scrap his trilogy in favor of going with JJ Abrams.
As posted above Pixar in their entire 20+ years history with Disney only has 2 movies total that have hit a billion. Marvel only has 5, despite having almost 20 films produced.
The reality is it's far more likely that Obi-Wan movie that the fanboys were oogling about actually now gets iced for a few years in favor of focusing back on the big money trilogy films.
