So long as she has nothing to do with it, it should be successful.
“I think that in an interesting way, it has all the DNA of what George (Lucas) was always interested in. He was trying so hard in pushing technology, but at the heart of it, it was still focused on storytelling and characters, and also a kind of lived-in feeling to everything,” she continued.
So this was reply to a question about the Mandalorian.
In other words, being still FOCUSED ON STORYTELLING AND CHARACTERS…
Gess, if only she tried that with the disney prequels.
Kennedy then detailed what Lucasfilm is doing to plan for the future of Star Wars, “And now we’re stepping back. Stories have been told within this universe over the last 40-odd years, and there’s now the realization that this is a mythology that actually spans about 25,000 years, when you really start to look at all the different stories that have been told, whether it’s in books and games.”
This is quite a shocking comment given Kennedy previously told Rolling Stone that Star Wars did not have source material.
She explained, “Every one of these movies is a particularly hard nut to crack. There’s no source material. We don’t have comic books. We don’t have 800-page novels. ”
Kennedy added, “We don’t have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be.”
No source material, but 25,000 years of mythology they could use?
They had George Lucas’ outlines for the next trilogy of HIS Star Wars, and they decided to throw it out.
Storytellers? Really? Ruin Johnson did not give a dame about the next iteration, and very little on the previous one. He wanted to make “HIS” star wars movie.
Retire/quit already KK.
The future is NOT with you nor your anti-fan ideas.
