What's wrong with Kathleen Kennedy?

I see that a lot of people on here hate her for something to do with the new Star Wars. I was curious what things she's done that have pissed off so many (possibly ex) fans?

One thing I heard on here was that
Rian Johnson was basically forced to do everything the was the studio (and thus Kennedy) wanted and was given specific directions on how to do everything with hardly any creativity. Is that one true?

Who was more responsible for VII and Rogue One's lack of quality or originality, the directors or the studio (Kennedy)?

Can you guys list some of the reasons for her awfulness for me so I can catch up? I'm seriously curious.

shes a woman

HOLY FUCKING SHIT
WHO FUCKING CARES
WHY DON'T YOU WRITE A FUCKING EMAIL TO HER INSTEAD OF BLOGGING ABOUT IT ON THIS BOARD EVER HOUR ON THE HOUR
FUCK OFF

she's incompetent, she got where she is by fucking her way to the top.

>The Force is Female

Literal truth considering how much dumb shit feminists try to force down everyone's throats.

Thought that was Trump from the thumbnail.

lol gay

So...would you, Sup Forums?

She was a personal assistant with no creative ability who happened to be around for Lucas film's most successful movies, and ended up controlling it all. It's one of the things about Hollywood I don't understand, can anyone just be anything? Every comedian is a writer/actor every sound guy is a producer/ actor every actor is a producer/director/writer. You have billions of dollars going in and out and no one appears qualified for anything they're doing.
Amy pascal wrote like a fucking toddler in her leaked emails for Christ sake.
I remember Harris wittels talking about Sarah Silverman just giving him a job randomly since he was doing stand up (and failing) at the same club she was, and how he felt like a fraud his whole career since literally anyone could do what he was doing. He described it as sitting at a table for 2 hours a week, and watching South Park the rest of the time making 200k a year.
Giv Hollywood bullshit job pls.

looking at the box office, it's starting to bite hollywood in the ass.

I'm sorry if I hurt you user, but that's my first time asking.
I'm bored so I'm writing a petition to have her fired (ik it won't accomplish anything, it's just for fun) and hoped for some concrete examples of her doing a shitty job/being a shitty person and exerting excessive control over directors' creative choices and damaging the Star Wars universe in other ways.

I'm a big Star Wars fan, not the biggest, but I do read some of the novels. I don't know anything about behind the scenes, but just look at the results. It all feels so regressive. Like VII was a film that could have been made in the seventies with the same script. And I feel like Lucas held off on the prequels because the technology wasn't there for Podraces or giant space battles or Coruscant. When Lucas made the prequels he didn't just rehash old ideas. He took advantage of technology that didn't exist in the seventies to create stunning visuals. For example, I heard Jakku was originally planned as a water planet like space Venice. That would have been awesome! It would be new to the Star Wars universe and the chance to be very creative visually. At least when Lucas revisited Tatooine he had awesome Podraces. But Jakku was just bland. Boring. Fuck nostalgia. Star Wars has always been around. I want new ideas, expanding the universe, real creativity. Lucas had that with his prequels even if the execution failed in places. Say what you will about Hayden Christensen's acting, but Anakin's a far more interesting character than Rey. We already knew Anakin's story and it's still more exciting. That's how bland the SW universe is now.

As an example of Disney's small scale thinking, look at AotC. It launched a whole sub franchise with comics, cartoons, novels, etc. But what's connected to TFA and TLJ? A few novels that very loosely connect or expand the stories. Most of Disney EU now is set during the OT. Who cares? There should have been a steady string of content about Rey, Finn, Kylo set between VII and VIII just like Clone Wars continued Anakin's story between films. At least something to give these characters more depth.

George Lucas sold the rights to a hack like her so he could get revenge on the people who bitched about the prequels.

Imagine the worst kind of social climber who uses backstabbing, snitching, deception to further her career without having to develop any skill for her actual job. There, you got Kathleen kennedy

First time I find a person who gives straight opinions about SW-movies which are totally opposite of mine

jfc the titties on that middle girl HNNNNNG

Well what are yours?

If I understood their comment right, it means they have literally terrible opinions about Star Wars in every conceivable way.

You mean you like TFA? I could understand someone liking it, but I can't understand someone being a huge fan of it and wanting to see a huge franchise. And that to me is Disney's narrow thinking.

I agree with most of this. George is and always was an idea man. The OT was mostly excellent because he had a huge team of people reigning him in and helping him create the world that many of us fell in love with as children and that we still find fascinating to this day. Giving him complete control over the PT was a poor decision but I'm not sure if anyone at Fox cared because it made Fox and Lucasfilms a RIDICULOUS amount of money.

The first time I watched TFA the nostalgia points hit home quite nicely. It was predictable nostalgia bait but I had fun in the theater, watching it on the big screen with huge speakers and John William's sound track blasting me back to childhood. I have no desire to watch it again, honestly I will probably go see the numbered films in theaters if only because going to see movies in a theater is a fun experience and something I don't do that often. But, I won't watch these new films regularly (maybe once a year each) like I do with the OT and to a lesser extent the PT.

she was good friends with George and or at least pretended to be. until she betrayed him once she took over and broke all ties with him. and turned star wars into pro feminism/diversity.

am i the only one who is happy we have Kathleen as president? She knows exactly what to do, she has a clear direction for the franchise, a direction which I am fully behind. In her hands the universe is flourishing.
Thank to her and to the fans for forcing George into selling you've saved the franchise that delusional old man almost destroyed. im not ashamed to be a star wars fan again

t. K.K.

Slayyy ever day.

Rouge one was good

She's not even his good friend, she belongs to Spielberg's team. It's another hack he threw at unsuspecting Lucas. Kasdan is also a hack who was doing nothing before Spielberg dragged him from the gutter to Indiana Jones, a story entirely made by Lucas. And you got this JJ Abrams scumbag, again a Spielberg's creature

No shit. It's always been about who you know. 99% of people in a successful position knew the right people. The self made men who started from nothing and worked your way up are the Steve Jobs/Notch/Bill Gates characters that you always hear about. They're the exception to the rule. For everything else on life, either have connections and know people, or be destined to fail.

This. I'm experiencing this first hand.

>be 24. Decide to start working for my business for the first time in my life
>I have little to no experience. He starts me off at $15. I'm already making the same as one of his secretarys. Fast forward to a year later and I'm making $18.50 and I'm only 7 bucks behind some of the higher up guys that are below my dad. Lol. Feels good to come from success. I can tell people hate me but i dont give a shit. Give it 5 years and I will be making more than all the other employees minus the top bosses.
