I know this isnt Star Wars, but its Lucasfilm, Spielberg just noped out of Indiana Jones 5. creative differences.
Steven Spielberg Won’t Direct ‘Indiana Jones 5,’ James Mangold in Talks to Replace (EXCLUSIVE)
Steven Spielberg is handing the directing reins on "Indiana Jones 5" to James Mangold.variety.com
Reminder that Indiana Jones 5 is a Kasdan movie.
Kasdan previously swore off working on a Star Wars movie ever again.
Now it looks like something is amiss on his currect project.

I'm thinking production on a lot of Iger greenlit projects are getting hosed, Disney is bleeding cash. i mentioned the other day that they spent like 80 billion in just the last few years and they are still spending like crazy with hit or miss results. over 80 billion sounds like a lot of fucking cash to spend in a short time. what did they get out of the Fox deal? x men movies? nope. Deadpool in PG 13? that old Simpsons shit which nobody watches anymore? i think they put in Cheapek to slow their fucking roll.

i doubt its creative differences
obviously we figured it out a few days ago, he's gonna be directing his daughter instead
Mikaela Spielberg, Steven Spielberg’s daughter, comes out as porn star
Maybe she should’ve phoned home first?

Bob Iger leaving because of Star Wars feels far fetched, it's too good to be true. Surely KK would be gone first.
If it's connected, it'll be him spending too much to obtain IPs which don't have immediate value and Star Wars proving those kind of acquisitions can be risky and not necessarily pay off long term.
Like buying Fox and not getting Avengers level money out of X-Men for a decade because you need to develop the IPs first.
Perhaps the board want to slow down on that until they start getting revenue from the acquisitions.

Star wars was a dormant franchise in the process of being buried. it should have stayed that way. nobody at Disney really gave a fuck about Star Wars other than that it once made money. they juiced it for all that it was worth and now Star Wars is ruined.

The effect of public domain is overstated.
Mickey Mouse has been continuously used, so while the initial character design will become public domain, you can't for example make a Mickey Mouse cartoon where he is a magician's apprentice because Fantasia isn't in public domain. You could make him be a steamboat captain though.
One of the YouTube comic critics was looking into publishing public domain Batman in a few years, he abandoned it because repeating any Batman story, character or design still protected (so the last half century) even by accident, would be plagerism.

They can't touch KK. The source said shes going to burn the building down if shes forced out.
They switched CEO for optics. So Chapek can ask Kennedy or prod her into retirement.
Iger wasn't in position to do that.
Iger will resume CEO or have his contract extended sometime after 2021, where he will remain as chair for a few more years.
In the meantime, she's banned from the set of the Mandalorian S2.

Its connected in so far as to put someone in position who can get rid of Kennedy without triggering poor optics or said building burning.

Yeah, they pulled out the name of the planet and that there are some wild force wielders and that is not the point of the comment. Abandoning the extended universe for their new one has been nothing but a giant disaster. Mara Jade, Jacen and Jania Solo, Ben Solo. Each one of those is better than any other character they have produced thus far.
