Yep. The article assumes that Kathleen Kennedy is the cure rather than the disease.

Ya think Yoda is going to come out as gay or trans?

It sounds like Kennedy would rather ensure that the story being told with this Disney+ series is as good as it can be on the page before they roll cameras

Sounds to me like there's not enough "Men Suck" messaging to suit Mz. Kennedy.

Fire KK. Give it to Filoni. Ewan is awesome, so don’t screw this up, Disney. Outside of the Mando, it’s all you do, but do try.

the only reason the Mandalorian did not get wrecked by Kathleen Kennedy is because it was beneath her notice.

There are no little Yodas, as far as we know.

Maybe he is trans species?

‘...seeing the Jedi master lending a protective hand to a young Luke and perhaps even a young Leia.”’

Huh, I’m by no means a serious SW fan, but wouldn’t such a plot require some big-time retroactive continuity gimmicks? IIRC, in the original SW, Luke barely knows old Ben Kenobi at the beginning of the movie and is unaware of who Leia is. So, what? They’re going to have the three of them going on adventures and then give the kids amnesia in the final episode?

The Mandalorian was great. Felt almost as much like a western as a space opera, and that was just the right tone to hit.

If Kennedy isn’t happy it’s got to be because they haven’t forced enough pointless PC, SJW, Manhating into the stories...

Kennedy is proof that cow$hit as well as cream floats. How that woman still has a job is beyond me... one of, if not the most profitable film franchise in all of history and she has effectively destroyed it and still has a job.

“Kathleen Kennedy” was a #1 Twitter trend most of the day, that is how much she is despised by Star Wars fans.

“in the original SW, Luke barely knows old Ben Kenobi at the beginning of the movie and is unaware of who Leia is. So, what? “

Luke knows Ben as a “strange hermit that lives out beyond the Dune Sea”. I don’t think Luke “barely” knew him, but it’s clear that he doesn’t know him closely.

As far as Leia is concerned, she’s on another planet at this time. Ben was familiar with the nearby space port (Mos Eisley), so it isn’t unreasonable that he took a couple of excursions to Alderaan as needed.

One final note, I am embarrassed that I know that much about a fictional universe though I loved the movie as a kid and couldn’t stop watching it :-). I wore out a copy of it that was on CED Videodisc :-) .

Did you not see the Mandalorian? Next season (sorry, spoiler), they will be searching for the planet of the Yodas.

Do or do not. There is no try.
