A lot of diversity hires associated with affirmative action were layed off, but KK is a bit more than some ''diversity officer'' so I can see her sticking around.
Can't be fired and they also can't keep her around without losing more money. Their only choice is to keep her on payroll and try to quietly have someone take over until there's a big success and she "retires". The hostage situation she's created is tremendously based if she did it intentionally.
This is all rumors. If she says Spielberg fricked her, so what? He's almost 80. Nobody is that powerful and people with more power than her have been ousted before
The system-- and includes ALL sectors-- is probably very worried about Hollywood's lossof credibility and global relevsnce. They'll keep purging and will get rid of her eventually as you say in a way that cleans the slate and buries her disastrous mindset. Jason Kilar was completely ostracized after being removed from Warner and his day and date idiocy has become almost a forbidden subject in the movie industry. Kennedy will have a similar fate
The other anon is right. If she has dirt or not is completely irrelevant and I think it's not true anyway. I think she's just mad about white men making her pick up coffee for a few years. It's the image Disney is afraid of.
This could save her career
What if Sidero has a son of Ben Solo?
The Skywalker blood would still be alive.
Is Sidero Lando's daughter?
That would be interesting, the son of Ben Solo and Sidero being the grandson of Han and Lando
This is true. I agree the brand has been damaged and little can be done to redeem itself.
But I'll bet if it's taken over by someone else with a different vision there will be manchildren lining up to see it.
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature would have fired her years ago. The fact it's only now being discussed should tell you just how much of a dumpster fire Indy 5 is.
At this rate, they need to take bets on which is more likely to happen first, Kathleen Kennedy getting fired, or the projects Kennedy announces (Rey movie, Acolyte, Rian Johnston trilogy, etc) getting released
CANCELLED STAR WARS PROJECTS >The Benioff and Weiss Trilogy >The Taika Watiti Trilogy >The Kevin Feige Movie >Solo: A Star Wars Story Sequel >The Boba Fett Movie #1 >The Boba Fett Movie #2 >The Lando Carlissian Movie >Rangers of the New Republic >The Rian Johnson Trilogy >Rogue Squadron
AXED PROJECTS >Star Wars: Resistance >Book of Boba Fett >Kenobi: Season 2
QUIETLY CANCELLED >The Shawn Levy Movie >The Taika Watiti Movie >The James Mangold Movie (after Indy 5, if you believe he'll get a movie, I have a bridge to sell you)
MOVIES THAT HAD RESHOT MORE THAN HALF OF THEIR ENTIRETY >Solo: A Star Wars Story >Rogue One >Star Wars: Episode IX - Rise of Skywalker
five episodes of Obi-Wan wandering the desert scaring the shit out of Sand People and passing time playing space chess with himself and then in the last ten minutes of the last episode he fights Darth Maul
3 more weeks. Trust the plan. Disney will sell Lucasfilm back to George 5 million dollars. George will immediately begin production of his versions of Star Wars episodes 7-9 with an all white all straight male cast. Disney will go bankrupt and Kathleen Kennedy will have to explain herself to congress. She'll be in jail by the end of the year. Trust the plan.
3 more weeks. Trust the plan. Disney will finally have a cast and begin shooting that Rey movie and it'll be released. Rian Johnson will immediately begin production of his Star Wars Trilogy. The Acolyte will finally be released. Kathleen Kennedy will announce more Star Wars projects that will be uncanceled and be released like the Taika Watiti movie and the Kevin Feige movie. Trust the plan.
They will never fire her. She has to leave on her own in an "amicable" way. If she doesn't want to leave, then they can't do shit about it. They just have to eat the loss she dishes out for them and just hope that she runs out of IPs to ruin soon.
Indy flopping is small potatoes after Disney KILLED STAR WARS. I think they expected Indy to flop at this point.
Which begs the question why was the 5th movie needed in the first place.

Anon, Disney has 200 million dollars in cash fluidity. The "Indiana Jones" film bombing will make a LARGER loss than that. And next year they are contractually obligated to buy out Hulu, and that will cost them anything between 8-15 BILLION dollars.
Kennedy expedited the ruination of Disney, in other words. If this doesn't get her "retired of her own free will", it means she literally has to have videos of Disney executives eating small children alive. Regular sex blackmail doesn't give you such an umbrella.
Supposedly Black Rock is going to just take care of everything but that's beyond /misc/tier moronation. Disney will be acquired by an entity that actually has equity and power within the next couple years. Crazy how people still love big corporations while claiming they hate them
Cinemaphile loves to parrot this but ESG was about diversity in boards of directors and corporate higher-ups, not about literal diversity in the products. That's why everyone got pissed off when Blackrock started pulling that shit, because they were telling them how to run their companies.
the funny thing is ESG is literally tokenism at its finest. every board of directors just threw some random brown girl on it to kill two birds with one stone.
Is this your most recent boogeyman? Is Tencent buying up everything no longer sexy?
>Hurr durr, they will get billions of dollars of free money.
morons, Blackrock et al. are investor funds. If they started actually giving out money, with no returns, or as a bad financial move, they would get sued into oblivion. The one, and only, thing they are contractually obligated to do is to earn money for their investors.
Yes, the pretense is that there will a return in investment. Disney is currently neck deep in debt; has no financial successes this year; has a catastrophic financial state; had to close down their hotel; and is firing people left and right.
In no fantasy land could you defend this in court as a sound financial decision, and not gambling.
They use retirement accounts. They don't give a shit. If they frick up, the government has to bail them out, because the government wouldn't want a bunch of angry boomers voting against them, now would they?

Agreed. The left is dead, they just don't know it yet.
>it means she literally has to have videos of Disney executives eating small children alive
She'd be in just as much trouble if she knew about those videos and didn't report it.
She will piss on all of your misogynistic graves while continuing to control all of your childhood favorites. You will keep impotently gnashing your teeth while she adds girl (ewwww! gross!) to every franchise you love. Die seething, b***h.
Black person, I never gave a frick about Star Wars or Indian Jones bullshit, LMAO, I just love watching woke companies die. I think her doing everything to destroy Disney is fantastic,
It's just to test the waters with the shareholders. Disney only cares about them. Not the fans or the parks or whatever. They are terrified of their shareholders just dumping everything for a loss.
I, not even joking, own 55 shares of Disney. I paid close to $8,500 for it a few years ago. It was worth less than half of that last time I checked. I would sell and take the loss for tax reasons, but I am holding because it will eventually come back.
The fact that the gaming division is so badly managed is baffling.
>no lightsaber dueling game >no bounty hunting game >no action-adventure games based on the sequel trilogy >no star wars strategy, tower defense or puzzle games >no racing games >no card collecting games >no rpgs set in the universe
I mean what the everloving frick are they even doing. You can mine the property for shit to make games out of for the next hundred years and they've been doing frick all with it.
That game with the redhead was servicable but a bit too difficult for randos to pick up and essentially dark souls with a star wars coat of paint.
Whatever they're doing with KotOR can go frick itself. I just wanted a physical copy of KotOR 2 with the restored content mod and they couldn't even manage that.
The sequels are so bad that the Lego games only covered the first and third movie, and they are so shit that not even the Legos can pull any joke or funny moment because these are already part of the real movie, the fricking legos can't parody their movies!
We used to get at least two Star Wars games a year for decades. Frick those braindead homosexuals, they don't get how George sold Star Wars at all. He was all about toys and games for boys for years and they just didn't get it.
Part of it is down to the fact AAA games take fricking ages to make nowadays. Like Jedi Survivor came out three and a half years after Fallen Order whereas 20 years ago it would have been around 18 months. They could still make some lower budget stuff to fill the space in between. I imagine there's loads of indie developers or mid-level companies like Focus or THQ Nordic chomping at the bit to make a Star Wars game.
If all your fables about BlackRock were true, answer this simple question - if Disney has access, through them, to infinite money, why do they have to cut costs, cancel projects, shut down establishments, and fire people, including their fricking Chief Diversity Officer?
They overhired during the pandemic, so they're simply trimming the fat now that we're getting out of it. They may have access to ESG funding, but parts of Disney still want to make money.
>they will tank your stock by pulling out
That's... not how stock works. You need a buyer for them. You can't just dump them on a sidewalk, like a Black person newborn.

You're one one among tens of millions ( and rising) who are no longer spending a dime to watch movies that bore/antagonize/insult your intelligence. Hollywood and its handlers have finally realized they're losing the audiences and ESG idiocy made that worse
Disney overhired and are making big cuts for sure. The lockdown freaked out all the corpos like we haven't seen before. Hires and fires were going on in every industry. It has nothing to do with politics, it's just money, and they're losing a lot of it.
Same reason why I make my own money even though my parents are rich enough to take care of me. You want to show daddy that you can make it on your own.
anybody think it's less to do with her, and more to do with our gay ass times being an impossible environment to make good movies in. if there were any good movies coming out, and Lucasfilm and Disney were the only dumpster fires, then it's their fault. but everything sucks, and it all sucks in the same way. there's the way movies look, which is flimsy barf. there's the way actors look, which is annoying and unpleasant. wokeness and all that too, but take out the fat ethnic trannies and the movies still look like shit.
they'll fire Kennedy and replace her with somebody who will continue to make bad 2020s movies.
>take most popular movie, toy, and media franchise in the world for boys and men >declare it a franchise for girls only now >No more male heroes, nothing but ugly, frumpy women >toy quality plummets >toys stop selling entirely because boys want cool male soldiers and Jedi and girls want feminine toys like Barbie not action figures, it appeals to no one >franchise dead

This is true, and the new boss will have a few years and many projects they can frick up during that time. If Disney knew what they were doing, they would have already fixed shit before Indy 5 was made. Also, KK is not the only problem, the entire staff of Lucasarts needs to be gutted, they are mostly terrible.
Agreed. There isn't a single good person there. They are all leftist counts that are complicit in ruining everything George Lucas built. Every last one of them needs to be fired, no exceptions.
You Black folk need to stop coping. She will never be fired, and furthermore that a good thing, because her projects always cost Disney hundreds of millions of dollars.
They are literally never going to fire her, she's basically untouchable there, they are just going to hope she dies while she continues to sink disney.
I think she only held on as long as she did because of Iger and she pushed the diversity angle hard. Chapek wanted to get rid of her, but somehow she managed to persuade everyone to let her stay until Indy 5 was released, the BO performance of that movie was her last chance and she fricked it, now everyone including Iger is sick of her and she is on her way out.
rumors of her getting fired go back for years, I would hold off on celebrating till she is GONE.
Even after she is gone whoever replaces her will just be better at hiding the woke.

Why not just "remove" her altogether if she's costing them billions in revenue?
If anything, they could just sell LucasFilms back to Lucas for pennies on the dollar as long as he promises to take her with it.
That's admitting failure and defeat just as much as firing her.
Indy 5 being the biggest flop of all time isn't failure enough?
It's chuds' fault that it's a flop, not Lucasfilm's. Kathleen is doing everything right.
Is doing something that relies on chuds to succeed right?
They can always blame the pandemic for that. Which they will and do.

I think we are way past that, even if they removed every corrupt c**t in office, no-one would fight ww3, especially after all the failours of the recent wars.
Agreed. The left is dead, they just don't know it yet.
>it means she literally has to have videos of Disney executives eating small children alive
She'd be in just as much trouble if she knew about those videos and didn't report it.
What is there left in Lucasfilm to ruin? American Graffiti? The Radioland Murders?
THX-1138 sequel, THX-1139
As true as there being a Rey movie in development
they should hire feige since he's basically out at marvel
just a matter of time now amirite
She will piss on all of your misogynistic graves while continuing to control all of your childhood favorites. You will keep impotently gnashing your teeth while she adds girl (ewwww! gross!) to every franchise you love. Die seething, b***h.
BnRP
Black person, I never gave a frick about Star Wars or Indian Jones bullshit, LMAO, I just love watching woke companies die. I think her doing everything to destroy Disney is fantastic,
>impotently
Just by not watching your shit movies and letting them flop and then making fun of them we can ruin your livelihood though
I actually hope she isn't fired, that woman alone has cost Disney billions in revinue, I hope she keeps going so the mouse will burn down. It's based.
underrated
Let Devil Mouse burn
She must have some serious dirt on someone, because no matter how hard she fricks up, she will never get fired.
A mere consolation prize if true.
FIRE IGER
it's not like her successor gonna be any better anyway. They will keep going in the doomed direction no matter who's in charge.
this. the best we can hope for in current year is picard s03-tier slop
I WANT TO BELIEVE
I cannot BELIEVE they think anyone wants to watch an entire Rey trilogy. She already had a trilogy and it made the prequels look good by comparison
It's just to test the waters with the shareholders. Disney only cares about them. Not the fans or the parks or whatever. They are terrified of their shareholders just dumping everything for a loss.
I, not even joking, own 55 shares of Disney. I paid close to $8,500 for it a few years ago. It was worth less than half of that last time I checked. I would sell and take the loss for tax reasons, but I am holding because it will eventually come back.
>it will eventually come back.
LMAO, no it won't moron, Yidsney is completely fricking doomed, won't survive the recession Biden created.
Unless Disney does a full 180 on the shit they have been pushing for over a decade at this point, it won't.
It's almost as if none of you incel homosexual NEETS have never had a real job before.
no
being retired with 40 million doesn't suck though, good luck moving out of moms basement
We don't even have basements down here. Just booze and a garage fridge.
I'm actually in your mom's basement. Better call the cops before I get to the top of the stairs. I'm black btw.
She has to have some blackmail material on the Disney higher-ups. Doesn't make sense why she is still around.
Good riddance. But anything short of giving Lucasfilm and it's IP back to George Lucas AND firing every single employee there is not enough.
Euchads are in control trust the force
Great
When do we get the sequel do-overs?
Kathleen Kennedy is Spielberg's Ghislaine Maxwell. What better explanation is there at this point?
Frick whoever pulled the plug on Lucasarts.
The fact that the gaming division is so badly managed is baffling.
>no lightsaber dueling game
>no bounty hunting game
>no action-adventure games based on the sequel trilogy
>no star wars strategy, tower defense or puzzle games
>no racing games
>no card collecting games
>no rpgs set in the universe
I mean what the everloving frick are they even doing. You can mine the property for shit to make games out of for the next hundred years and they've been doing frick all with it.
That game with the redhead was servicable but a bit too difficult for randos to pick up and essentially dark souls with a star wars coat of paint.
>>no rpgs set in the universe
They've tried to remake KOTOR. Twice. They're on their third attempt now.
It's funny, and kind of touching, that the Old Republic Era has managed to resist any Disney shit being inserted into it.
Whatever they're doing with KotOR can go frick itself. I just wanted a physical copy of KotOR 2 with the restored content mod and they couldn't even manage that.
The sequels are so bad that the Lego games only covered the first and third movie, and they are so shit that not even the Legos can pull any joke or funny moment because these are already part of the real movie, the fricking legos can't parody their movies!
>The sequels are so bad that the Lego games only covered the first and third movie
They did all of them.
We used to get at least two Star Wars games a year for decades. Frick those braindead homosexuals, they don't get how George sold Star Wars at all. He was all about toys and games for boys for years and they just didn't get it.
Part of it is down to the fact AAA games take fricking ages to make nowadays. Like Jedi Survivor came out three and a half years after Fallen Order whereas 20 years ago it would have been around 18 months. They could still make some lower budget stuff to fill the space in between. I imagine there's loads of indie developers or mid-level companies like Focus or THQ Nordic chomping at the bit to make a Star Wars game.
If all your fables about BlackRock were true, answer this simple question - if Disney has access, through them, to infinite money, why do they have to cut costs, cancel projects, shut down establishments, and fire people, including their fricking Chief Diversity Officer?
nta but i dont think they have infinite money just moar than they should have
They overhired during the pandemic, so they're simply trimming the fat now that we're getting out of it. They may have access to ESG funding, but parts of Disney still want to make money.
So they are getting money from ESG... but they still want to make money... and they need to trim the fat... because they're not making money?
Are you high?
>getting money from ESG
They are getting Loans, wich they have to pay back eventually..with interests
It's not a loan. They invest in your company. If you don't do ESG, they will tank your stock by pulling out. You wouldn't want that, would you?
>they will tank your stock by pulling out
That's... not how stock works. You need a buyer for them. You can't just dump them on a sidewalk, like a Black person newborn.
The bubble won't last forever, not least with Biden destroying the American economy
i'm just one americhud but i'm totally demoralized. i don't want to spend a single penny on any entertainment or anything wasteful. i save and spend only on necessities: food and fuel.
You're one one among tens of millions ( and rising) who are no longer spending a dime to watch movies that bore/antagonize/insult your intelligence. Hollywood and its handlers have finally realized they're losing the audiences and ESG idiocy made that worse
Disney overhired and are making big cuts for sure. The lockdown freaked out all the corpos like we haven't seen before. Hires and fires were going on in every industry. It has nothing to do with politics, it's just money, and they're losing a lot of it.
Same reason why I make my own money even though my parents are rich enough to take care of me. You want to show daddy that you can make it on your own.
anybody think it's less to do with her, and more to do with our gay ass times being an impossible environment to make good movies in. if there were any good movies coming out, and Lucasfilm and Disney were the only dumpster fires, then it's their fault. but everything sucks, and it all sucks in the same way. there's the way movies look, which is flimsy barf. there's the way actors look, which is annoying and unpleasant. wokeness and all that too, but take out the fat ethnic trannies and the movies still look like shit.
they'll fire Kennedy and replace her with somebody who will continue to make bad 2020s movies.
This was either made by someone over the age of 60, or under 17.
turns out the force isn't female
Never was.
>take most popular movie, toy, and media franchise in the world for boys and men
>declare it a franchise for girls only now
>No more male heroes, nothing but ugly, frumpy women
>toy quality plummets
>toys stop selling entirely because boys want cool male soldiers and Jedi and girls want feminine toys like Barbie not action figures, it appeals to no one
>franchise dead
Here some level headed thoughts on ESG
Stop shilling your own israelitetube channel homosexual.
Nah, she still has to ruin THX
I'm always going to love it, even if it doesn't make sense to me anymore.
She has been arrested and is awaiting private trial in Guantanamo.
Is she with tom hanks too?
trust the plan
Why didn't females like her films?
Shes doing a great job, hope she stays on indefinitely
Who cares she ruined countless franchises and made hundreds of millions of dollars in the process. She won regardless of when and if she ever gets fired
A legacy of ruining franchises is not winning. No one likes her.
Like she has anything else left to ruin.

none since 2020? guess she turned it around
no, and each time one of these rumours is started she will end up staying for another 5 years
Who cares? She'll just be replaced by some other globohomosexual c**t and the same shit will continue unabated.
This is true, and the new boss will have a few years and many projects they can frick up during that time. If Disney knew what they were doing, they would have already fixed shit before Indy 5 was made. Also, KK is not the only problem, the entire staff of Lucasarts needs to be gutted, they are mostly terrible.
Agreed. There isn't a single good person there. They are all leftist counts that are complicit in ruining everything George Lucas built. Every last one of them needs to be fired, no exceptions.
Not a chance. Blackrock's bidding is not yet finished.
You Black folk need to stop coping. She will never be fired, and furthermore that a good thing, because her projects always cost Disney hundreds of millions of dollars.
It was posted on an image, so I believe it.
They are literally never going to fire her, she's basically untouchable there, they are just going to hope she dies while she continues to sink disney.
I think she only held on as long as she did because of Iger and she pushed the diversity angle hard. Chapek wanted to get rid of her, but somehow she managed to persuade everyone to let her stay until Indy 5 was released, the BO performance of that movie was her last chance and she fricked it, now everyone including Iger is sick of her and she is on her way out.
rumors of her getting fired go back for years, I would hold off on celebrating till she is GONE.
Even after she is gone whoever replaces her will just be better at hiding the woke.
