1) goddamn william shatner is a master troll, i assume someone else is handling his social media accounts cuz an 89 year old trolling on twitter is chefs-kiss
2) that quote is taken out of context, the full context is something like "Luke is whatever you want him to be. If you want him to be gay, of course he is gay!" dumb but he doesn't literally say luke is gay for everyone
3) interesting that shatner mentions he hasn't made a penny from star trek TOS since the 1970s, i assume the movies still give him decent annual royalties

I only knew Mara Jade from Masters of Teriskasi and she was awesome because she could do half of vaders dark attacks and half of Luke’s and they were the best of each side.
What little wiki reading i did… she should be happy not to be butchered by the nu-wars feminist I crap.

Not much of an announcement without a target date but good riddance.

A) We've heard this all before.
B) What better time to do it.
Indy's dead.
Willow's dead.
2026+ Star Wars is down to, what:
Mandalorian movie (Favreau's domain)
Ahsoka S2 and cartoons (Filoni's domain)
Mangold and Kinberg movies that are years off.
Booting her now, before any Mando success rubs off on her and before she has permanent marks on Mangold and Kinberg really is the best timing, but how much of Disney's Star Wars is her fault vs. Disney's top level execs remains an open question.
Sure, we love to snicker "The Force is Female!" when every surviving project is headed by an at least middle aged white guy, but that all of Disney' marketing and cultural relevance can't extend the brand beyond white guy nostalgia isn't solely on Kennedy.

I love that headline
"The prolific producer has presided over the 'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones' franchises through ups and downs since 2012"
What fucking Ups are they referring to? Both franchises have been absolute dogshit since her taking over and what little glimmers of hope, few and far between, were done in spite of her not because of her.

4 out of 5 star wars movies under her watch grossed a billion dollars. Of course if they released one now I fucking doubt that would happen. I will believe KK leaves when she actually leaves and her actual replacement actually starts running the show. If her buddy, Filoni gets the job it's going to be more goofball shit like Ahsoka and book of Boba Fett. If it's Favreau, it's going to be more gritty stories for men.

CNN —
Rumors that Lucasfilm’s longtime president may be leaving Disney have swirled for quite some time. But reports that Kathleen Kennedy will retire at the end of her contract may be jumping the gun.
Puck reported Tuesday that Kennedy, who is 71, is expected to step down as president of the storied production company behind the “Star Wars” franchise before the end of 2025. Several news publishers have followed with their own reports. But a source familiar with the matter tells CNN that’s not the case, emphasizing that “there’s nothing there right now.” Any announcement of Kennedy’s retirement, if indeed there’s anything to announce, will be made “public” when “actual decisions are made,” the source told CNN.
Lucasfilm did not respond to a request for comment and a spokesperson for Disney did not comment for this story.

listened to few people talk about she will have a farewell awards tour, life time achievements and all that stuff, so her exit will be a drawn out affair.
wonder if daisy ridley got paid anything upfront for new jedi

I hope not. That bitch fell into money with no talent. At least Kylo has ability and is a somebody.

At this point, who cares? Star Wars is dead and gone. They let KK raze the ground and salt the earth over the last decade. No one gives a shit because even a new boss can't salvage the franchise. The literal only way to actually save Star Wars is to decannonize everything that has come after the Disney purchase and immediately reinstate the Expanded Universe, but no one at Disney is willing to do that and so the franchise is effectively gone.
