Knowing evil/monopolistic compagny tendancies, yup.

Since Luke is dead, there is nothing to care about anymore so i was out at that point. Rian Johnson tanked any potential the new trilogy had so i'm done.

Star Wars is dead. Long live the force.

"Lore depth" is garbage nerds argue about on the internet. 

Which characters in Star Wars actually have a PERSONALITY that can carry an entire 2 hour film? You don't have to be a nerd to "get" Tony Stark or Peter Parker or even Thor or Starlord or Deadpool or get T'Challa's relationship with his late father and kid sister. That stuff is all very universal. 

They are funny, flawed, have clear character arcs they have to go through, and they are immediately human, Boba fucking Fett is not. Obi Wan is an asexual hermit monk ... this stuff Star Wars fans are oblivious to, they think a great character is having a lightsaber or a cool helmet.

Marvel has always excelled even compared to DC at having relatable characters, that's always been their calling card. It's not a coincidence that the 4 Star Wars films that are universally loved pretty much all have Harrison Ford ... he's the only character/actor in the films that actually feels like a real person. Remove him and the franchise loses its beating heart and lightsabers become the second most interesting thing left in the films. 

Marvel can also cross genres, Star Wars really cannot either. You can't have yearly Star Wars films without fatigue ditto for Jurassic Park or Tolkien or Fast & Furious or really most franchises. You need at least a 18 month gap, more ideally 24 months, even more ideal 3 full years. Marvel is a rare exception, not the rule, people don't want yearly instalments of anything unless there is a strong logical reason for there to be a new movie every year (ie: Harry Potter being structured as a story from day 1 that follows Harry through successive school years). Otherwise people just eventually say "you know what, they're clearly just milking this now, I've had my fill of dinosaurs or lightsabers or hobbits so I'm going to skip this next one". 

The boycott wasn't the only factor obviously, the high budget due to the director change, poor release window too close to Avengers and Deadpool, as well as fatigue from releasing just 6 months after Episode 8 were all factors as well, but the boycott is definitely a factor for sure.

KK is absolutely responsible for the problems currently facing Star Wars. 

1. She tried to forced too much diversity into a series known for primarily white male leads, which caused some backlash (justified or not).

2. She allowed Rey to be designed as an overpowered Mary Sue character because she wanted Rey to be a feminist role model, because in KK's eyes "the force is female". Rey being a Mary Sue is one of the most hated things about the new trilogy. 

3. She allowed a trilogy to be made that kills off or ignores most of the original main characters to instead focus on new characters which a large percentage of the fanbase don't even like that much

4. She backed up Rian Johnson's stance on Luke as a character instead of listening to Mark Hammil's ideas, which resulted in the Luke in episode 8 that everybody hated, their childhood hero reduced to being a bitter old hermit. 

5. She sided with Rian Johnson instead of Colin Trevorrow in regards to the direction for the trilogy (rumor has it that Colin was unhappy with what Rian was doing to Luke in episode 8 and that Rian planned to kill Luke, same as Mark Hamill, among other creative differences)

6. She continues to support Rian Johnson in spite of extreme fan backlash to episode 8 and Rian's unwillingness to admit that he made mistakes while developing it. 

7. She initially picked a comedy duo of directors to direct Solo originally and expected them to make a serious movie, and somehow didn't expect there to be creative differences. That decision led to expensive re-shoots for Solo which lead to a huge budget for the movie which is part of the reason why it flopped.  

8. She gave the go-ahead to release Solo in the crowded May window instead of in the December window that it would have practically had to itself.

The boycott wasn't the only factor obviously, the high budget due to the director change, poor release window too close to Avengers and Deadpool, as well as fatigue from releasing just 6 months after Episode 8 were all factors as well, but the boycott is definitely a factor for sure.

It's not about diversity, it's about them pointing out diversity. It feels like forced diversity versus doing it naturally and story wise. Feels like fake diversity. That is why people are upset. They don't care what sex or race people are. Hell, I was excited for a kickass female jedi. Sadly they haven't given her any character. She is a boring mary-sue.

2. She allowed Rey to be designed as an overpowered Mary Sue character because she wanted Rey to be a feminist role model, because in KK's eyes "the force is female". Rey being a Mary Sue is one of the most hated things about the new trilogy. 

True

Yep. There is a big difference between handing off a torch and ripping the torch from someones hands. I felt Han's was fine, but everyone elses was just an insult. Hell, you blink and you probably didn't even notice Ackbar died. Luke, well enough has been said about Luke I don't need to go there.

4. She backed up Rian Johnson's stance on Luke as a character instead of listening to Mark Hammil's ideas, which resulted in the Luke in episode 8 that everybody hated, their childhood hero reduced to being a bitter old hermit. 

Again not going to touch Luke at all. We all know they butchered him. It's a sad state when a company ignores an actors thoughts on the character when it's such an iconic character that is synonymous with that actor.

5. She sided with Rian Johnson instead of Colin Trevorrow in regards to the direction for the trilogy (rumor has it that Colin was unhappy with what Rian was doing to Luke in episode 8 and that Rian planned to kill Luke, same as Mark Hamill, among other creative differences)

What is it with Johnson she likes? What has Johnson done besides this movie? I have no idea on him. But he has to be the most hated person in the entire Star Wars fandom and I don't think anyone has ever said something good about him. Any hatred towards Snyder is dwarfed by the Johnson hate. Yet they seem to not even acknowledge it and just live in their own bubble.

Haven't seen Solo, but as for TLJ, I did have some person who I wouldn't take as a fanboy, just some older gentleman who is a guy, thus has seen Star Wars. We didn't say much, but one of the real only things he said about the movie was he hated the little joke quips they had. Said they felt weird, out of place and tacked on. I would have took him as an everyday joe who would have loved those jokes, but he hated em.

8. She gave the go-ahead to release Solo in the crowded May window instead of in the December window that it would have practically had to itself.

Yea never understood putting that movie out when it did. Why not now? What movie is coming out now? Feel like there were lots of better windows for what since day 1 announcement was luke warm at best.

She also delivered the highest grossing Star Wars film since the original. 

And the lowest grossing one is the one with a white male lead, the three other ones with a female lead have all crossed 1 billion WW. If anything an arguement can be made that they have short changed Rey and Finn to force feed in an old fart Luke Skywalker in TLJ which led to unsatisfying story arcs in TLJ for both of what should be your main characters. 

Disney has the final say on release dates too, no producer just tells the studio when they can release a film, a producers role is to make sure the production gets finished on time/schedule/budget mainly. 

Thoughts above.

Cameron is a good director, but is very unoriginal.  He really hasn't written anything good since Terminator 2.  And his biggest box office successes have more to do with luck than his films.  Titanic came at the height of Leonardo DiCaprio fever, so teenage girls were seeing the film over and over.  I wouldn't say it's a bad film, but I haven't felt the need to watch it in more than a decade.  I would have personally preferred something based on fact concerning that tragedy, not a fake love story. 

As for Avatar, it was all the 3D hype surrounding the film, not the film itself, that made it a big hit.  That and the newly emerging Chinese market was thirsty for any big spectacle film.  If that film launched today, when there is no 3D hype and the Chinese are more selective, it would probably have done half of its original take.  I mean, it really left no impact on society.  No one knows the characters names, except maybe the general name of the aliens, Navi.  There are no memorable lines from that film, either.  I have yet to see a kid dress up as a Navi for Halloween.  I think it's funny that Cameron thinks he can finish out his days making umpteen sequels to such a forgettable film, as if it will be his SW.  Especially when said sequel is 10 years too late.  Avatar 2 probably won't hit $1.4B, half of the original.

It's pretty obvious why they like Johnson. He agrees with their politics and he's a good little boy who will put anything into the film they ask for. I guarantee that it was Lucasfilm/Kennedy that wanted the cute animals in the film to sell more toys. Unfortunately for them, it backfired. 

For how much money Avatar grossed it seemed to have barely any cultural impact. It actually seems forgotten today.

I just don't get why they trusted him with STAR WARS. I just looked at his resume and it's not worth the risk, imo. Is identity politics really worth risking billions?

I mean what his best movies is Looper and Brothers Bloom? your gonna put that on your biggest franchise.

I see his did a couple tv episode that were praised, but TV and movie are completely different. You can always tell when a director is/was a tv director. The movies just come off with a sort of tv/soap opera drama, or this cheesy closeup views that they use on tv. Makes you feel like your watching some tv show season finale versus what should be a big budget holleywood movie.
