>In an interview with the New York Times, Kennedy addressed her decision to cast a female lead in her second movie in charge, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. “I have a responsibility to the company that I work with. I don’t feel that I have a responsibility to cater in some way [to those particular fans],” she said. “I would never just seize on saying, ‘Well, this is a franchise that’s appealed primarily to men for many, many years, and therefore I owe men something.'”
its fucking over, its over, (((they))) won. why did you let this happen?
I didnt give a fuck the last three times you posted this fagbot.

I saw this thread on Sup Forums and there was a pretty good discussion about Jews.

Vote with your feet. (You're going to watch it anyway)

>Star Wars What are you 15?
Henry Jackson
Except they are, they are just pretending they are not for progressive brownie points
They literally reshot the movie to add more Vader to appeal to the retarded man child fan base, which i really wish they fucking didn't, can't we have one movie without lightsabers?
Jeremiah Ortiz
>male nerds will watch any star wars movie that comes out until they die >you can make 3 bad films in a row and they'll worship the series >they'll obsess over a character who dies offhandedly and was onscreen for like 5 minutes if his armor looks a little interesting Theres no reason to try to get their attention or interest, might as well try to hook the other demographics
Austin Gomez
I feel bad for little boys growing up. What do they have that's truly theirs?
Luke Brooks
>“I have a responsibility to the company that I work with. True >I don’t feel that I have a responsibility to cater in some way [to easily triggered stormfags],” Also true.
Zachary Campbell
Kylo Ren was literally designed to appeal to 12 year old boys
Jordan Wood
I was a diehard Star Wars fan until I saw TFA, I went in going with the mindset of "even if it sucks, I'll see the next one." And I'm not going to. Rogue One looks stupid and uninteresting and I don't care about whatever happens after 7 because the movie sucked worse than the prequels, and those at least had creativity, memes, and great EU shit based off of them. Fuck Diversity Wars and this cunt in charge of it, and fuck anyone who thinks appropriating male series and adapting them for cuckolds and women is okay.
Levi Powell
Dumb niggers like her and you are why the industry is faltering. White males are what made Star Wars successful. Every time a company starts spitting on them and announcing how they don't need them, they go under.
Parker Edwards
Only thing I liked about TFA was the bread scene and the aesthetics(it's going to age nicely compared to the prequels), Rogue One doesn't even make me excited, it's obvious they just shoehorned Vader in there as a way to sell easy tickets since they know for a fact normies love him.
Juan Murphy
I watched and consumed every piece of Star Wars merchandise that came out. I even stuck with the MMO before the retooling. But once the owners start announcing Star Wars doesn't owe me shit and I'm problematic trash... that's it for me. There are still plenty of franchises out there who are aware of who and what keeps them afloat, I don't need to be a cuck and hand my money to people who openly despise me.
Ian Jackson
Fuck off white men, your time is over. White women should be tools of the black man.
Isaac Martin
Nobody gives a fuck you dumb manchild cunt.
Go back to the reddit echo chamber where you can circlejerk about your children's franchise endlessly
Cameron Richardson
this. murifats live through their entertainment industry and the first fans have nothing else in their life.
Kayden Wright

Thomas Lewis
This is like Game of Thrones that have basically devolved into a feminist fanfic fantasy.
They know men are dumb and will watch anything with dragons. So they make it pander to women for maximum market penetration. It's going to bite them in the ass once men get tired of dragons and realize there's nothing in the story that appeals to them.
Hudson Nguyen
What's the likelihood that the protagonist will be openly discriminated against in the movie because she's a woman?
Austin Baker
How much of a meltdown will white people have once the movie industry completely ditches the west and caters to China?
Logan Green
...
Kevin Perry
This is the second movie where a white woman is leading a multi-cultural gang against the white man.
What the fuck are they doing? What the fuck did white people ever do to the Disney shits?
Hudson Harris
The Ritalin they force on them
William Lopez
she'll be out when this underperforms anyway
Julian Ward
>They literally reshot the movie to add more Vader to appeal to the retarded man child fan base 1) Show me evidince they added more Vader PLEASE 2) To appeal to the manchild fanbase? Why is that word thrown around so loosely? Vader is the most popular villain ever. EVERYONE but you wants more Vader. Since this isn't going to be like a war film then the next best thing for EVERYONE but you fucking retarded girls who aren't tired of weightless fights is to add in more Vader.
Noah Johnson
The only compelling character is meant to appeal to 12 year old boys? Then what the fuck are 90 percent of movie goers when they shill Rey and other boring brainless nonsense?
Luke Perry
>not even a jedi >still beats 5 storm troopers together in melee combat >hispanic man watches in shock as she does this alone while he holds his gun uselessly (i wonder what this means????)
This was only ok before because of the force. Now what's the excuse?
Connor Howard
Kathleen Kennedy is a very smart woman. I can't really imagine her believing her own statement: "Well, this is a franchise that’s appealed primarily to men for many, many years, and therefore I owe men something." Because that would be missing the point. Star Wars fans are fans because its a great universe with interesting characters. Fans don't really care about who the main protagonist is as long as its a good Star Wars movie.
Carson James
like ghostbusters right
Juan Rivera
that design doesnt make any sense wtf
Julian Turner
please stop posting this, it's making me fucking depressed, everything i like is being turned into a SJW shitfest, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Duke Nukem, etc.
Anthony Kelly
White manchildren will always see a Star Wars film. They keep adding this diversity shit so they get females, niggers, China, etc. to pay for their movies. Disney will pander to everyone so they can money
Noah Harris
Maybe stop having the taste of a manchild. This is reality's way of telling you to grow up.
Jace Allen
She's right. They shouldn't cater to anybody. Unfortunately they cater to gay-ass SJWs but that doesn't mean they should now counter-cater to men. They should stop with it entirely.
Jose Reed
>saying this on Sup Forums >saying this on Sup Forums
Julian Green
Honestly, nothing she's saying in that article bothers me. But it does crack me up a little bit, because I think she'll find that it's easy to cater to male Star Wars fans, and flat-out impossible to cater to feminists. Because even though she's in charge of one of the hugest film franchises in the world, and making an honest effort to include more women, it's already NOT GOOD ENOUGH, NEVER GOOD ENOUGH, NOTHING IS EVER GOOD ENOUGH!!!!
Now, if there was only a way to piss off the lotr manbabies...
Hunter Campbell
The Hobbit already did that job.
Jackson Collins
DRUMPF white supremacists BTFO
Gavin Kelly
This sounds all too familiar
Lucas Thomas
Wasn't an overwhelming majority of Force Awakens preorder tickets bought by men?
Logan Edwards
WTF does it matter? (((They))) could make a movie that was nothing but Daisey Riddley farting for 3 hours and it would still be the highest grossing movie of the year just as long as they put "Star Wars" on the poster
Aaron Lewis
you mean they didnt put her in for men.
Leo Phillips
men will go to watch the movie anyway.
Nathaniel Anderson

Wyatt Thompson
I actually liked the hobbit. An unexpected journey was comfy as fuck
Thomas Barnes
I feel there are a lot more tards that will go see this just because. but they'll pay and whine later.
Adrian White
Yeah they didn't. Men want to see her in distress and in skimpy outfits not running around pretending to be a 110 pound badass.
Andrew Murphy
Sup Forums generally is a place where manchild taste gets shit on
Rebbit is the manchilds dream
Colton Ross
i cant understand people that obsess over the most mainstream and vanilla things, like star wars, superman, bacon and weed.
don't you feel uneasy when you realize there's pretty much nothing unique about you?
or do you tell yourself "no one is special anyways, so why bother"?
Wyatt Evans
She is right tho. No life neckbeards go watch it anyway
Eli Myers
>he fucking believes this
Logan Nelson
Truth is male Star Wars fans are so laughably beta that they will still go anyway, and put up with this abuse. It's like the Nintendo diehards who will buy any shit like Amiibos.
Levi Barnes
You do know that no matter how a woman acts or looks, men will still love her, right?
Mason White

Gabriel Anderson
Wew, I don't even like star wars but this has to be the most hipster thing I've read all day. People don't like things to feel special.
Jeremiah Robinson
You're missing the point He's wondering if people with 100% mainstream/vanilla taste are even aware of how boring or stupid they are
Jonathan Bell
>People don't like things to feel special. Sometimes they do. Or at least to feel like they belong.
Daniel Lewis
>someone happening to like star wars means they have 100% mainstream taste

Brody Diaz

Chase Watson
If you LOVE star wars, obsess over the EU,or get emotionally involved in how good new Star wars movies are then yeah you're completely tasteless
Asher Butler
I don't mean like, I mean obsess. I mean the people that tag themselves as "geeks" and "gamers", yet they only have a superficial interest, just enough to enjoy the social benefits of belonging to a massive group of people.
Look at all these youtubers that do movie reviews, their walls plastered with star wars, gamer and 80s blockbusters shit. If they had a real interest in their "field of expertise", they would quickly realize things like star wars and harry potter are literally designed to make money by appealing to the largest possible audience, everything else is an afterthought.

>>male nerds will watch any star wars movie that comes out until they die It's dangerous to take that for granted.
You can get away with it a few times, but it will bite you in the ass eventually.
Camden Young
What if the woman you love starts acting like a dude and tries to be a badass towards you? Would that turn anyone on that's not a beta bi-sexual genderfluid numale? No.
Noah Rogers
>hurries over to marvel thread to chortle about dc cucks
Isaac Baker
Why do you people watch this bullshit anyway? It has disneys name on it now fot fuck sake and george lucas is gone from it. If you care about star wars anymore youre a loser.
Owen King
elaborating further because I have to leave right now:
if you truly care about film and still can't stop talking about star wars, like those fucking losers at RLM, then you're not authentic. you're doing it for the money, you know that you could make a difference in people's lives by recommending films that will, at the very least, make them think.
now, if you think you're a hardcore fan of star wars and don't really care to look past it and enjoy more meaningful and rewarding entertainment, then you just don't care enough. you have no passion in you. if you don't have passion or authenticity you're most likely a shitty, boring person.
Liam Russell
it's hilarious
>popular blockbuster film well liked by normies >becomes obscure due to years passing by >nerds find it, nerd guys like it >nerd girls want to know what the deal is about, they bring their chad boyfriends who then pretend to like it >'nah, this movie would be better if we see something like...' >original nerds move away from it because now is just normie shit >"we don't need to cater to the fanbase that made this movie series great" says the hambeast >suddenly the movies are shit and no one is going to watch them because they are not fun and mysterious and fantastic, they are just a vehicle for politics.
fuck them and any one who watches this shit.
Isaiah Rivera
It's actually pretty smart when you think about it. Make a show catering to stronk womyn who don't need no men. So feminists that they can do things without the need of men. If and when the show gets canceled you can blame men for it's failure.
A good example is Girls. It lasted 4 seasons and trust me, no one, will remember it or Lena Dunham in 10 years.
Jeremiah Howard
That's OK. I don't need to cater to they're wallets.
Dylan Sullivan
I hope she's strapped in tight for when Disney execs come knocking about why the fuck she's trying to alienate their main demographic.
We all love a faux outrage to get self righteous about, but to Disney shekels>"progressiveness" every time
Juan Wright
Judging from the idiot they hired as screenwriter, the main point of the new movie is to shit as much as possible on the old fandom.
Leo Hill
Isn't she the woman who couldn't get Shia Lebpuef's name right?
Isaac Ross
Kek.
Its stockholm syndrome. Sooner or later they'll break though. Personally, I'm going to go out of my way to convince all my friends not to waste money on these shit-tier movies. I'd rather see practically anything over these uncreative messes.
Grayson Ward
Their main demographic has demonstrated for decades they have no standards and will throw their money at anything with a star wars logo slapped on.
I mean just look at the EU comics, worse writing than sonic fanfic.
Anthony Cooper
shut up homosex
James Gomez
I don't much will change with until this trilogy is over. Then when the new one starts up, people might finally realize it's just a cash grab and stay home.
Joseph Harris
>the first male fantasy safe space is being invaded by women
Shocker
Joseph Collins
Most of the men paying to go see Star Wars are bluepilled and don't know any better. They don't even realize how much of a soulless cash grab infused with SJW kikery the franchise is now.
Christopher Diaz
I'd really like to see this eat shit to cap off a banner year of meme magic
Nathan Carter
>tfw they're too big to fail
Jayden Rogers
If you're a male nerd loser I dunno how you haven't switched to anime and manga, at least they cater to their demographic
In 2016 western nerd culture has turned it's back on you, it's for feminists and ethnic minorities now
Kayden Butler
I don't get why they're pushing these new Star Wars movies for the female and minority demographics so hard.
I can't even think of a single girl I've met who likes Star Wars, and even if they're wearing a Star Wars t-shirt or something, they usually have only seen attack of the clones and couldn't name more than a couple characters. Same with minorities, although there are definitely many exceptions if they're men.
John Bell
COME BACK, GEORGE ALL IS FORGIVEN
Camden Richardson
I unironically have a very real respect for him now.
Owen Sanchez
I blame high school jocks for it. They stopped bullying nerds for like 1 generation and instead started playing CoD with them and this is what happens.
Ryder Morales
What? How? This Disney dreck is awful, but George is a lazy fat aspie who probably couldn't be bothered to get off the couch to make another movie.
Nolan James
We need to start a campaign to get kids to bully nerds again
It's the only way
Levi Lewis
they tortured him into quitting. like 10 straight years of fucking with him telling him he ruined star wars.
Caleb Nguyen
No, Star Wars fans bullied him into quitting
This is what they get
Joseph Taylor
That's because it previously pandered to them. When something goes your way, cognitive dissonance makes it difficult to analyse flaws in something you like, which is where fanboy mentalities come from.
However, when a discord hits, you start being more willing and able to give a critical look at things, and that's why this is a retarded idea to introduce that discord by actively attacking them, or stating you'll ignore them. Using their demographic as a given only works if you continue to pander to them while bringing others in. If you actively attack them, you'd better be damn sure you're making a product that will survive the scrutiny its goi g to then get, because otherwise it will get picked apart.
Given that Disney wants to turn this into a decades long franchise, they absolutely don't want to lose their slavish base, because, as you said, they're the ones that eat shit and demand more. Sure, chances are the sequel trilogy and the first few spin offs will make a mint no matter what they do, but if they cause enough discord while doing so, they'll get diminishing returns.
Liam Edwards
George may not have made a good film in a long while, but at least he tried to create something a new in each movie. TFA is just a shitty version of IV.
Robert Martin
>That's because it previously pandered to them. And? What's wrong with that? It's called demographics. I don't expect chick flicks to pander to me.
