Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy Says She Doesn't Need to Cater to Male Star Wars Fans

>"I have a responsibility to the company that I work with. I don't feel that I have a responsibility to cater in some way [to those particular fans]," Kennedy told the New York Times in an interview focused around Jones. "I would never just seize on saying, 'Well, this is a franchise that's appealed primarily to men for many, many years, and therefore I owe men something.'"

>Likewise, characters of other races than caucasian have begun to get the spotlight in Star Wars more frequently. The Force Awakens featured a black male and hispanic male lead alongside the female main character, and Rogue One's diverse crew includes a man of Pakistani descent, a black lead, two East Asian leads, a hispanic man, all able to lend their points of view and represent their respective peoples alongside the white characters.

The problem is there really isn't much you can DO with Thrawn without making the show ABOUT Thrawn, which they don't want to do.

He isn't there to turn people to the dark side, he isn't there to run recon, he isn't there to brown nose Sheev. He's there to kill rebels, and he's actually good at it. Unlike the inquisitors and Vader he hasn't really got anything distracting him from that.

But again, they're insistent that rebels be about side characters nobody cares about. Mandalorian Supercommandos unrelated to Thrawn had to show up for Sabine's arc, despite her being the least popular character. Hondo and Diet Jabba's episode was so horrible even in the recon video they mentioned they had to basically rewrite large swaths of it at the last second just to make it watchable. Rex's episode was basically just a giant shaggy dog story about how it apparently takes everyone 20 years to realize the man in the spooky black hood ruling the galaxy fucked them over.

If it had been just the Thrawn episodes and nothing else, I could buy it. He lets them go a couple of times to track them down, then tests his commanders. There's nothing inherently wrong with the idea. But the problem is he has to sit there with his thumb in his ass for months on end.

The other issue is there really isn't even anything for the actual cast to DO this season. With no inquisitors to fight there's not anybody important to get into a duel with or fight in a dogfight until Vader invariably shows up in the last episode. I got excited with those interceptors because Baron Fel could have been an actual challenge while holding back Thrawn but it turns out to be some other guy that didn't really matter. Darktroopers could have been another decent thing to play with but they're basically just glorified mall cops now.

The rebel alliance is essentially just kind of fucking around at this point. They have no central figure to rally against that they can actually fight like an inquisitor. They have no set theater of operations like Lothal or Garel to play off of. They have the fighters now, but Phoenix Squadron has done fuck and all even compared to last season where all they did was die like redshirts. All there is to accomplish is just bum around looking for spare parts like this is Cowboy Bebop, which was fine and dandy when it was one cell doing whatever in season one but playing the exact same plot when you tried to escalate the scale simply does not work.

Crashing this franchise with token survivors. Is it a Disney policy now to only hire people who will lose them as much money as possible on everything they make? Don't they realize their profits would go up if they didn't go out of their way to attack their customers?

>>371

I wish I could let it rest but Star Wars is everywhere these days. It's on the internet, TV, radio, billboards, newspapers and even on signs in the grocery store. Even my extended family want to talk about it when I see them, and these are people who probably didn't care about Star Wars when it was around in the 70s and 80s. It was like this last November/December too when TFA was coming out, the whole world just goes mad with it.

If there was a way to ignore what's happening to Star Wars right now that didn't involve cutting myself off from the modern world completely to live in the woods, I would do it in an instant. But it's inescapable. So all I can do to deal with it is come here and commiserate.

I don't know why they had to strive for a twofer by making up Rae Sloan. They already had a decent black Imperial character with roots in the prequels as well as Legends material with some profile.

Oh, right, Disney is pandering to people who let Red Letter Media do all of their critical thinking for them and are mostly pretending that all prequel stuff not referenced in the Clone Wars CGI cartoon never happened.

Interestingly enough, I listened to the audiobook version of Lost Stars at a time when there were no other new novels out, and Claudia Grey wrote that multiple species and ethnicities graduated from Imperial military academies. It didn't really matter if your planet was some Outer Rim bumfuck populated by humans or the only source of velociraptor-taurs in the the Galaxy; if you fuck with Sheev you get the shackles.

So yes, she depicted the Empire as uncompromisingly oppressive and tyrannical, but it doled out equal opportunity promotions and punishments.

Now watch it be quietly ignored as writers who have no connection to Star Wars outside of seeing two movies in the theater when they were little kids and recognizing shitty pop-culture reference jokes retcon whiteness into having meaning for the Galaxy all because Trump became President.


 No.419

The only reprieve is that Trump will never actually CARE.

I think a lot of people at Disney got the wrong idea because Obama was a star struck type who loved to make pop culture references and Bush had his own issues with the media and think if they whine enough Trump will cave. But Trump already has all the power he needs(and only needs one more state to amend the constitution however he wants). Back in the day he even said Obama needs to spend less time on Star Wars and more doing his damn job.

They're burning Star Wars to the ground, but the damage will stop with Star Wars.

Either they really hate money or they only want to sell their wares to people with a completely black and white world view like them. Imperial stuff always sold the best and old fans seemed to really enjoy books that portrayed the empire in a morally gray or even positive light. I like the rebels and I get what they're fighting for but there's no fun in only publishing these weird self-masturbating stories that all boil down to "we're so good and perfect and we always beat the evil empire who only do bad things just because they enjoy being evil".

I wonder if any of these new authors have ever thought about what the average imperial soldier's perspective is and why they do what they do. Maybe they, like Wendig, just don't want to understand the bad guys because it makes them feel evil just for considering it. I honestly didn't realize that writing villains with understandable and interesting motives was such a rare skill for authors these days.

It was gonna happen regardless of who was gonna become president. Difference now is they'll be so desperate to shill their shit more forcefully and faster than before that people will realize just what kind of ride they're being taken on now. They think that by shilling harder and turning SW into a modern political piece they'll somehow change things, but all they'll be doing is dooming themselves.

That became painfully evident with TFA and all the shitty new Kylo media and the fact that he's somehow a "not sith" and how pure evil the sith are. Fuck I miss the moral gray from the old games.


 No.427

>>425

Every time something morally grey like Potentium Theory or Kyle using Force Lightning was introduced into canon there was a command from the top with either George Lucas or Leland Che to retcon it as being a Dark Side ploy to obfuscate the very clear line between objective good and evil.

Star Wars is at heart a morality play. Disney didn't change that. Jedi are good. Sith are evil. The Dark Side is corruption. The Empire is oppressive. The only enduring moral subjectivity that didn't catch Lucas' attention and piss him off before he suddenly did a 180 when writing the Mortis Arc for The Clone Wars had to do with well-meaning individuals seduced down the wrong path, but it was still evident from the narrative tone that they were in the wrong.

I prefer the complicated shades of grey way of doing things myself. KotOR II is one of my favorite games because of its ruthless deconstruction of the established norms and patterns in the IP. Trouble is that Lucasfilm/Arts never seemed to tolerate that point of view for long.

There's at least one person on the story group (don't know if it's Hidalgo or not) who is blocking the effort to recanonize material from KotOR, Dawn of the Jedi, etc. though because as far as he's concerned Star Wars is a sendup to morally black and white pulp fiction and it's simply not meant to be deconstructed.


 No.429

>>421

Battlefront: Twilight Company by Alexander Freed has a few chapters dedicated to the perspective of an Imperial stormtrooper who never defects or ceases to believe in the moral validity of the Empire as a structure. She only becomes frustrated in how the medical services try to speed her through a bare minimum recovery program to get her back on patrol ASAP, but Freed doesn't exactly depict the rebels as tender bleeding hearts overall. The ones that are come across as kinda stupid.

If it's worth anything, Freed also wrote for Bioware's The Old Republic MMORPG and is usually cited as responsible for its best stuff like the Imperial Agent class story.

In general a writer should be able to invent a character with plausible motivations without vindicating their beliefs with tone and mood. Even Claudia Grey's books, which feature characters acting as mouthpieces for pro-Republic interpretations dressing down what are essentially fictionalized strawmen of real life Empire fans, tried to give characters who'd want a Galactic Empire better hopes and ideals than the will to power.

We should also realize, though, that normies just don't seem to care about alternative takes from the antagonist's point of view, and the new management wants broad appeal. I read some of the Amazon reviews for James Luceno's Tarkin book, and one of them was from a reader who didn't understand why anybody would need a book about Tarkin.

Paraphrasing: "He doesn't need a motive to be bad. He's more interesting when he does bad things just because he's an evil man. Psychological excuses won't justify it. People need to read about the banality of evil and how it applies to real-life monsters like the Nazis. They didn't have good reasons to do what they did; they were just bad people."

It boggles my mind how a human brain can find a simplistic, shallow character without a meaningful past experience shaping his behavior "more interesting" than a round, well fleshed out personality let alone include as part of a 7 paragraph review. I can only assume they are retard savants and blowing bubbles into their chocolate milk while perusing a thesaurus.

Unsurprisingly, there were actually more imperial fans compared to rebel scum in pic-related, but because of the sjw morons running the show now and trying to make the Empire a literal KKK rather than The Fictional Space KKK, they'll never be imperial/villain fans again…

>It boggles my mind how a human brain can find a simplistic, shallow character without a meaningful past experience shaping his behavior "more interesting" than a round, well fleshed out personality let alone include as part of a 7 paragraph review.

And there were so many people who said they loved the old media/EU but as soon as TFA was announced, they were quick to say "who cares about depth anymore?! Its Star Wars man! Forget that shit!". People I knew who used to be so sophisticated and refined in their tastes and who seemed like true fans suddenly turned into drooling media zombies while the masses just took that shit in as expected but with even more fervent hunger.

That's another thing that's mind-blowing to me. I hoped that this possibility was just the result of a poorly worded tweet and the writer was trying to imply that in Star Wars human supremacy is the stand in for white supremacy, but after that infantile safety pin debacle it's probably safe to interpret it literally.

It'll be funny watching them scramble to solidify that, though, since they already had black and oriental extras in First Order uniforms for TFA.

I could let him just enjoy my older comics and novels, but what then? He would eventually want to immerse himself in Disney shit too and discard everything as soon as he realized Disney discarded it all and labeled everything Imperial as "bigoted" imagery.

When it was written as "The Empire is a white supremacist (human) organization," I thought that the parenthetical notation was supposed to infer that Imperial anthropocentrism is metaphorical for white supremacy in the real world.

It's a facile symbolism kind of like how mutants are supposed to reflect marginalized groups in the Marvel setting, but I didn't immediately conclude that they wanted to make the Empire biased in the favor of white humans.

Now, though, despite filling little places in the new canon with colored and queer characters I think their butthurt over Trump winning is such that they actually will try and shoehorn white chauvinism into Imperial/First Order doctrine.

It's positively engrossing. I've never seen this much partisan hysteria in a developed nation just because the "wrong" guy won a close election. It's been a month and there are still salty, passive aggressive editorials being printed in periodicals and outwardly hostile transparently polemical memes churning from the entertainment streams. I'm starting to think that the next election will creep up on us with wealthy or famous leftists still raging about it as if it all happened yesterday.

same. also, chewbacca dying worked for several reasons:

- it had george lucas' approval

- he got crushed by a moon doing a very noble act (saving han's son, which makes sense since he had the life debt and anakin was basically an extension of han), and didn't go out like a bitch trying to tell his kid "you're grounded, now let's go home"

like, yeah it sucked, but it also made some hella good character development for han afterwards. now chewie is just a wookiee co-pilot doing fuck-all in the movies. they should have fucking blown up the falcon since they were killing han in the movie, there's no point to that ship existing without him.

I'd never dream of buying a book with the Legends slave brand at the top. Even if the sales encouraged Disney to hire the old writers again, I think that ship has already sailed.

Old Star Wars is dead and they'd only start ruining that with the same corporate mandates and pandering if they brought it back as continuation of where it left off a few years ago.

>>460

>Mind if I steal your idea?

Sure, and the more people who do it the better. Everyone is trying to sell their old Star Wars books on the internet now and the lack of demand means a lot of the best stuff with end up going unsold and simply thrown in dumpsters to be burnt. There's always a small hope that someone with one of these stashes of old books might end up in a position to do something good with the material in the future. Hell, maybe an EMP war will wipe out all the Disney-era digital content and our children will get to grow up with just the old movies and books like we did.

Anyway, I'm starting off with my old copies of the Thrawn trilogy already and my next immediate targets are Shadows of the Empire, the Dark Forces books and Hand of Thrawn. Might become a nice hobby to collect things like these over the next few years.

Imperial figures sold the most because they actually looked like Star Wars figures. Rebel trooper figures just look like your generic US marine soldier, and not sci-fi enough for Star Wars.

If they made the Mando's actually like best canon's Mando's, I might watch it for just that.

A Spartan-like Warrior Society dedicated to the pursuit of honor, glory, and conquest. But Disney will never portray them as such.

Marvel did this with their comics, and they crashed so hard that most of their die hard fans have abandoned ship to DC.

Yeah that little bit bugs me.

Was Kylo such a piece of shit that his own father couldn't get through to him, whereas Darth Vader couldn't even justify killing is children, no matter the reward?

Never again. Now they're just hipster terrorists for hire. I never even fucking liked the old Mando Dark Horse EU comics by that old pretentious bitch, but the way her awful concept was re-used with far better depth, writing, precision and delivery by other EU authors and in the games made me fall in love with Mando culture…

i don't have a link but i can tell you from browsing /co/ a few weeks back that it mainly involves the gender/race-swapping controversy (that's literally the only reason they even sell now, they want people to get shocked over it and i'm sad to say i know people who think it's actually good despite the damage it's doing to these long-loved characters) and the fact that they stopped selling at newspaper stands and moved mainly into the digital platform, which people don't give a fuck about paying for.

Sort of. He WANTED to be that much of a piece of shit, but he was fooling himself. The scene with Kylo and Snoke where he demonstrates this inverted, perverted concept of the Force in which the Dark Side is enlightenment and the Light is a seductive easy path to comfortable weakness foreshadows it. He thought that he could sever his ties to the half of his nature inclined to the Light by forcing himself over the Rubicon and killing his father, but the regret and doubt instead compromised his ability to channel the Dark Side.

Disney's position is that novelizations of films are canon where they don't contradict or confound the movie scripts. The TFA novel goes into greater detail (which is on wookiepedia) about how this background information halfway justifies Kylo, who trained in the Force arts since age 10, was shot in the ribs and then beaten by Friendly Negro 2187 and Muh Rey.

Basically, the meta infers that killing Han was a mistake. Kylo was only able to get his head back in the game long enough to put up a decent fight before Rey's instant perfection powerup because he used the pain from pounding his wound to, in a manner of speaking, hot wire up a little more Dark juice.

Hey, I'm not saying it's how I'd have written it. Just that I understand what they were trying to do.

>Yavin 4

Didn't most of the indigenous Yavin 4 people die out long before Anakin became Vader? By that time, there was no big native kingdom still ruling over major areas of that moon. Most of the Yavin Temples and tombs aren't in the shape they were then they were in their prime last time I checked.

Yeah for sure.

But shy do you think that women can't ever handle primarily male-oriented franchises? Because of their lack of a y chromosome, menopause, and no penis?
