Kathleen Kennedy NEEDS TO BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY For Lucasfilm’s SURVIVAL

I wish I was joking or being hyperbolic, but I’m sadly not. Lucasfilm is seriously on the verge of death after the failures of Star Wars, Willow, and Indiana Jones at the box office and with audiences, and it’s all the fault of Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy!

I can’t believe an entertainment studio with two of the biggest Hollywood brands in the history of cinema attached to its name is on the verge of death and irrelevancy, but here we are.

In the wake of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny failing with critics, most audiences, and at the box office to be the last Lucasfilm legacy brand to meet a horrible reception, it seems impossible for Disney to keep on Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy as all of the turmoil and destruction that has plagued Lucasfilm is all her fault. And, even though I don’t like calling out people like this, that woman deserves it for the damage she’s caused.

I know it’s been a long while since Lucasfilm has been associated with success, but can you remember when the words Lucasfilm and greatness were synonymous with one another.

Whether it was Indiana Jones, Star Wars, or even the original Willow film, watching a Lucasfilm movie/project always guaranteed great and revolutionary visuals, brilliant cinematography, moving stories, heroic characters, LIKEABLE, RELATABLE, AND FLAWED protagonist and even sometimes antagonists, evil villains that made your blood boil, and the classic relief from one’s problems and troubles in the real world.

Sure, Lucasfilm in the 1970’s, 80’s, and 90’s was far stronger of a brand than it was during the 2000’s and early 2010’s (mainly due to unjust fan backlash towards the Star Wars Prequel trilogy and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), but a Star Wars and Indiana Jones film/show during those 50 years was a product that everyone could sit back, enjoy watching, and know a certain storytelling quality would be on full display.

That comfort has been completely destroyed by Kathleen Kennedy in the decade following Disney’s $4B purchase of Lucasfilm.

Always the #2 to George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and the various directors heading the Indiana Jones and Star Wars movies, Kathleen Kennedy, the former assistant to Spielberg and underling of Lucas, was promoted to the president’s role of Lucasfilm once George Lucas was bought out.

And, if I was a conspiratorial-minded person, I’d think that Kathleen Kennedy just performed the most successful sabotage job against George Lucas and Steven Spielberg for never getting promoted to the top while under their employment as she destroyed the harmony of general fan enjoyment, created toxic divisiveness through “Controversy Farming” added into the films, and split the fanbase against itself in what appears to be an irrevocable tear.

But, since I’m not, I just think Kennedy is a degenerate, crony corporate, useless, utter buffoon who couldn’t tell a good story even if she was given the opportunity to adapt the Lord of the Rings, the Iliad, the Odyssey, Dune, Les Misérables, and every other legendary novel into a movie or film. Wait, you know what, I shouldn’t even put that thought into the universe as I may have just invertedly cursed all those stories to get the Kennedy-Lucasfilm treatment.

Anyways, I know fans (or should I say corporate sycophants and the people she has blackmail on as there’s no other explanation for her stay in power) of Kathleen Kennedy will point to the box office success of the films she’s produced since leading Lucasfilm, such as The Force Awakens ($2.07B at box office), Rouge One ($1.06B at the box office), The Last Jedi ($1.33B at the box office), and The Rise of Skywalker ($1.07B at the box office), but these box office totals are TOTALLY misleading.

First off, there isn’t a Star Wars movie in existence that can’t generate at least $1B at the box office as every single film made by Lucas, such as The Phantom Menace ($1.77B at adjusted box office), Attack of the Clones ($1.09B at adjusted box office), Revenge of the Sith ($1.35B at adjusted box office), A New Hope (pure domestic: $1.54B at adjusted box office), The Empire Stikes Back (pure domestic: $771M at adjusted box office), and The Return of the Jedi (pure domestic: $769M at adjusted box office), would have made over $1B if it came out today.

And those figures don’t include late 1970’s and early 1980’s dodgy international box office tallies, which would push these movies to well over $1B if they even made 30% (and they most certainly did) of their domestic income.

So, the $1B benchmark is null and void…and especially so considering Solo: A Star Wars Story ($392M at box office) is the only Star Wars movie to not reach the adjusted $1B threshold, but also failed to turn a profit. Moreover, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the only film made under Kennedy’s stewardship, is set to be the lowest grossing (predicted $300M at box office) Indy film and earn at least a $100M loss for Lucasfilm.

And that’s under the one and only Kathleen Kennedy.

Rather, it’s best to look at the audience reviews of these films and T.V. shows made by Kathleen Kennedy to determine the success of her stewardship. Without further ado: The Force Awakens (6.7/10 on Metacritic), Rogue One (7.6/10), The Last Jedi (4.1/10), Solo (6.1/10), The Rise of Skywalker (4.6/10), The Mandalorian (8.3/10), The Book of Boba Fett (5.3/10), Obi-Wan Kenobi (6.5/10), Andor (8.3/10), Willow (2.7/10), and now Indiana Jones 5 (4.2/10)  are the major films and shows to come out under Kathleen Kennedy.

Does that seem like a great track record to you?

Out of 11 major film and television releases, the best average score of all these films produced by Kathleen Kennedy is a 5.8/10. Seriously? A barley average score with not a single one of her $1B films scoring better than 7.6 with fans.

I mean, it looks even worse when you see George Lucas’s track record with 12 major films, which includes the unjust fan reviews the Prequel trilogy and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, is a 7.7/10 with numerous “Metacritic Must-See Films” (ex: A New Hope, The Empire Stikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and American Graffiti) awards.

Perhaps the comparison might be better or worse for Kennedy if you use other metric sites (which tend to be skewed towards crony corporate films and producers like Kennedy and her movies), but the result is still the same. She has destroyed the brand of Lucasfilm and her status at the company must be terminated.

Or else Lucasfilm will be permanently destroyed.
