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).

Looking Back at Big Babies

Recently decided to capture and upload the full version of Big Babies that was cobbled together in 2004, and I found it holds up better than I had expected and better than I had heard. The opening prologue discussion has an energy to it, although I did get a tweet from The Projection Booth asking, "does anything every happen in this?" which is a trade-off of front-loading some character development. The main body of the short may not allow the characters to be as accessible. I will eventually continue my plan to record a commentary track which I'm sure will set the world on fire. Funny how remarkably few views a new video an get. I have heard of algorithm working against a video, but I may have to explore that - a subject of zero interest, except that it would be nice to disprove the theory that someone has hacked my account and is reducing exposure to it. As for the subject matter of Big Babies, I don't carry it around so much. What I like is the glibness and whimsy of it, whether or not I would approach the same taboo type of topic again.
