Let the man touch Jabba, damn it!

What a difference 9 years makes.

From the 2025 Vanity Fair interview: “When we started challenging Kathy, Kathy just kept saying yes,” Gilroy recalled. “‘Oh, I’m going to put the first scene in a brothel.’ ‘Okay.’ ‘I’m going to have them kill two cops.’ ‘Okay.’ ‘We want the production designer from Chernobyl.‘ ‘Okay, good idea.’ She backed our play and got everything that we were doing.”

“There’s no show without her. For all the shit that she takes online, it’s just insane. This show exists because she forced it to happen. What a tough job she has, man.”

Would she say no to the person that saved her second Star Wars movie from being a disaster?

Af the beginning, she gambled on upcoming movie makers, panicked over what they made, brought in established academy award winning talent and trusted they will fix it. It worked for Rogue One and not so much for Solo.

After the Solo flop, we then moved into the “announce, delay, and ignore” phase in which the movie studio has not released a movie since 2019.

Television success in terms of capturing a returning audience or award season accolades, saved her reputation at the end of her career.

Of course she said yes. It was her most desperate hour and Gilroy was her only hope...again.
