Hopefully her salary is of some consolation.

Star Wars is too busy chasing ideas that easily lead into merchandising.

The relief is ours. Leave show business.

That's 14 years too late and if they kept her that long with all the good franchises she fucked up i won't hold my breath for the next one they put in charge.

Good? There hasn't been a good Star Wars movie in the last 14 years.

I thought Revenge of the Sith was pretty good. I actually liked Attack of the Clones. I'd also forgive anyone for saying Return of the Jedi or even The Empire Strikes Back was the last good Star Wars movie.

Personally, I think Star Wars itself is the only great Star Wars movie. The rest are just sequels (or prequels). I will admit that Empire was good and that Jedi was fun, but The Phantom Menace was fun, and it gets shit on for it. And I liked the other two prequels.

At least we can agree all the sequels from this generation were shit. I actually enjoyed parts of The Last Jedi, but mostly Luke at the end. The gravity from the bombs in space to "oh I guess Leia has been a Force user this whole time" annoyed TF outta me. And, while I do enjoy Daisy Ridley's and Adam Driver's work, I really don't like anything in the sequels associated with Rey or Kylo.

Say what you will.

I liked solo, a difficult story to shoehorn in, a tricky script to weave without much retcon, still a great story and surprisingly good Han (lacking only some darker hair dye) and Lando (no notes; outstanding)

I loved rogue one, and not just for the perfect ending.

Andor was perfection tarnished only by the knowledge it was ending.

TFA was derivative but still good. TLJ killed the sequels by killing the story and setting up the third movie as all but unmakeable. It's maybe killed anything else after it, and I pin the lack of a 10-11-12 series on that mess.

Mando was good until it focused too much on the child. It could have been Caine, traveling the universe and helping people in need while catching bad guys. 81 episodes at least.

Obi+wan was fucking incredible and, like Andor, only tarnished by ending.

These were, on balance, good years. We're gonna get Abrams or Berman, and know what franchisicide looks like.

I think everyone else got a whole lot more than just a bit of relief.

In a few years: "Somehow, Kathleen returned"

So say we all.

"just in time, too -- I almost had to watch a Star War."

Is she the one who hated Star Wars and tried to destroy it?
