This is a rumour. And given the history of rumours surrounding Disney Star Wars and their accuracy, id say probably not, no. |

BUT, considering the level of proliferation of these rumors, it sounds like news the bulk of SW fans are truly hoping for. |

If KK is out (and given how horrible everything Star Wars has been since she was given the helm, she should be) then I'll be opening my bottle of Lagavulin 16...
I mean, I'll open it anyways... its a 16 year old Scotch... but I'll pour a double in celebration when the word is given.

It's kind of sad in a way. If you had told me 10 years ago that Star Wars would be so bad that I would literally be toasting the removal of Lucasfilm's president, I don't think I'd have believed you. There are times when I truly can't fathom how this franchise slipped to become what it is today.

“You think you know the depths of corruption that plague the Jedi?” Saso hissed. “I’ve seen it, I’ve experienced it, I even embody it. Every breath I take is an affront to their lofty ideals and idle Force worship… and so they seek to exterminate me.” He looked deep into Barriss Offee’s eyes, “they were not successful in purging me from the galaxy, and neither will you be.” Make Jedi pouches: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=37304.0Make Jedi food capsules: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=38006.0 |

Agreed. I'd have answered how can you make bad star wars? (No need to mention the holiday special)... This is how. Part of it is okay... I enjoyed Rebels (Have to watch the rest though), Mandalorian is great. |

Pretty much because everyone involved lost focus. George saw a $#!%ton of dollar signs. KK saw a social agenda platform. All the directors (save Mr. Howard) saw an opportunity to leave their mark on something they "loved" from their childhoods/youth. And all the actors.....well, who in their right mind, in this day and age is gonna turn down a roll in a SW film? |

This. I remember seeing an interview with Ruin Johnson on his writing of TLJ. He was ralking about starting and thinking to himself "Why is Luke there?" Now the fans had a ton of ideas...He's in self exile and doesn't know hes needed. He's looking for something, protecting something...or someone. He's hurt and healing. RJ's idea? He's there to die. That "I" think was the issue. It should have been "WWGD" What would George Do. Then go from there. This is why Willy Wonka didn't want an adult to win his factory. |

I'll keep saying that reducing what KK did to "a social agenda" is wrong. There were lots of strong female characters in SW. What happened had more to do with a lack of vision and coherence. Having three different directors, not working together, without writers and full plot for the trilogy is what killed it. They tried to sugar coat it with a social agenda. I really think it was bs or damage control. |

I don't see it as a reduction because its both. She had an agenda (The Force is Female) and it clouded the vision and created a mess. Yes, there were many strong female characters in SW.....but the majority of them came from the EU which they decided to ignore. It wasn't any one thing. |

^^^ THiS We had a ton of strong female characters.....that were better written. Darth Zannah, was exceptionally powerful, and not just because she was a woman. But instead of keeping with tradition, we got a lot more women involved with inversely less character development. Meanwhile ALL the male lead characters have to have the strong females hold their hands and show them the right way to do everything. It was a ridiculously thin veiled agenda. I will have to say this though... Despite its innumerable shark jumps and plot holes, SWR actually had some terrific character development. Characters of both genders had room to grow and improve. Both had shortcomings. Both had their varied skill sets, and authority within the group shifted as skills developed. But they also had longer to grow them. |

Think about this..... How many Female villains can you name from Disney SW. Not antagonists..... Ventress, Mother Talzin, Admiral Sloan, Bo Katan even Governor Pryce weren't true villains. |

I'm still not so sure about this.
Maybe it's because feminism is more laidback in m'y country or because social justice isn't that Big.
But I see the lack of vision more as incompetence than political agenda.
I don't mind strong women Heroes or gay heroes. As long as they are well written characters. And that's the problem I have with their movies. Badly written characters and poor storytelling.
