At the same time though...before I'd really comment I'd need to really know what Kennedy's goals are.
I thought the new Trilogy was awful. Not 'Prequels Awful' but not far off.
However....they made bank. Lots and lots of it.
Kennedy isnt the Director of these shows or anything, my understanding is that her job is to make money. She appears to have done that.
Now...could one make the case that if her new Trilogy hadnt sucked out loud that she potentially could have made even more money? I think you could say that fairly, but its still conjecture. |
All KK did was burn off all the good will the brand had. The last trilogy had diminishing returns with each movie to the point where making a new film profitable would be challenging. Star Wars disneyland is losing tons of money. The toys aren't selling outside of baby yoda. KK's bungling of Star Wars plus Disneys bungling of Marvel are probably the biggest contributors to disneys plummeting stock value and billions in upcoming cuts.
The success of Mando was in spite of her and her numerous attempts to hijack the shows intended storyline (booting off Gina, bringing Baby Yoda back, there's a lot of rumours that Favreau hates KK).
I don't know how a star wars fan can have anything but hatred and contempt for what KK has done to the brand.
