Star Wars Leak | Kennedy Behind Gina Carano's Firing, Source Claims (RUMOR)

The core fanbase did not like Episodes VII, VIII and IX - especially VIII. Kennedy disparaged the fanbase and notoriously told Michael Arndt Luke was distracting in his original outlines and that Luke "represented the patriarchy and male-driven narratives" so he had to go or be sidelined and then Rian and the "story group" Kennedy hired retconned Luke. So Kennedy was already hated and she resented Jon Favreau's Mandalorian winning back fans, and especially hated seeing the surprise return of active, heroic Luke in the finale. She is a psychopath and a lot of people at Lucasfilm are hurting because of her. Gina just got to be the scapegoat. It gets exhausting to fact check people on this. Bots and "stans" made it a mission to inflate the anti-Carano reeeeeee! Now because Disney caved (to mostly fake accounts) slactivists are emboldened and may go after Rosario Dawson. These decisions hurt the brand. Carano may be conservative but no more than Stallone, Chuck Norris or any number of action stars we enjoy seeing content from. Jon Voight has crazy views but I like seeing him act. And how often did we compare the orange con-man-in-chief to Hitler, and people who don't like the way comic books have gone (comicsGate) to Nazis ? The bar for hyperbole is already set. And to demand someone put pronouns in their bio is absurd. Busybody imbeciles. But it is Kathleen Kennedy and her faction that are to blame. It is unfortunate that (by Kennedy's design) Favreau's shows that stole her thunder will suffer as core fans (real fans, not those claiming cultural real estate) withdraw from Disney plus and hurt the bottom line (while likely pirating the Favreau and Filoni stuff or Marvel).
