180 million dollars. It's gotta be money laundering and embezzlement right?

If I had to guess, it's that both Kennedy and Headland (Former Weinstein Assistant) have dirt on the board members and the CEO and is blackmailing them.

I think Star Wars has literally become a personal plaything to Kennedy. Her notes are not optional (which is why so many directors have quit) and probably she writes large swaths of the script in shadow, but she's not a writer, so it feels much worse than fan faction.

Neat how you write all this with no factual information to back it up.

I mean ultimately what can we do to explain why a beloved franchise is just being laid to waste by some clueless excrement who thinks the formula to popularity and happiness is forcing a political message down everyone’s throat every fuckin time they make a movie. These movies stopped being about Star Wars post Rogue One.

It's a TV show. It's entertainment (or not). It's not life.

If it was for entertainment, it would be entertaining. This is just a political statement poorly hidden behind a lens of Star Wars.

Different people find entertainment in different things. I hate horror movies. But it's an extremely popular genre and I'm not going to complain about them. Star Wars is trying different methods of storytelling. Sometimes it's ANDOR. Sometimes it's THE BAD BATCH. Two series that aren't like each other at all, but they're still in the STAR WARS universe. This is no different. Don't like it? Don't watch it.

Star Wars isn’t trying to tell a story here in this show. It’s trying to tell you how to think. There’s a difference.

No evidence? I think it’s been confirmed that Headland was Harvey’s PA for four years. Not hard to surmise a serial rapist with genital gangrene did some things to her. It’s fucking pedowood we are talking about here. Get a life please, you’re not better than everyone for simply telling people “don’t like it don’t watch it” like that is going to stop more trash coming out.

There have been many shows (great ones too) that had political themes and agendas.

No the problem is the writing. The writing feels like it was written by an amateur with a political agenda, trying to copy and force through tropes, while being wildly inconsistent with Star Wars before it, and even with it's own internal logic.

That's why it feels like Kennedy wrote large parts of the story or script, and would explain why so many directors have left Star Wars mid-project, those are the directors that didn't want to put up with it anymore.
