And this is why I hate coming to this board anymore. Fun times, all!

Plus, it's not like Rian Johnson and Gareth Edwards had a ton of movies under their belts before being hired to make Star Wars movies.

If I'm wrong, then I'll be happy about it, trust me! I try to be optimistic, too. But it's frustrating to constantly hear "it'll happen, wait for it!" or "they're just hiring the right people for the job," like talented minority filmmakers don't exist. (Especially when people like Taika Waititi, Ryan Coogler, Patty Jenkins, Ava Duverney, and Jordan Peele have been garnering so much acclaim lately.) And ESPECIALLY when Kathleen Kennedy is helming the franchise and talks about the importance of diversity in all aspects of filmmaking. I understood and defended the ideas behind hiring JJ Abrams fo

I think that's what people initially believed, but George was like "oh yeah, that's the Falcon, yup."

Diversity in ideas you mean? I'd agree.Lol, no. I'm not going to argue about it though because people already think I'm the SJW harpy around here.

I know nothing about Game of Thrones (heh), so I really have no opinion on this, other than the lack of diversity in Star Wars writing and directing is still very, very disappointing.

They're not. Bob Iger mentioned in today's earnings call they were close to making an announcement on that.

This is what I get for saying more Star Wars is always a good thing.

He can live with me.

Iconoclasts? Really?

I wouldn't know, I can't get pregnant.

Natalie: You died of a broken heart. You don't scare me.

Counterpoint: Give me more Star Wars forever.

Yup. And, I mean, the point isn't really whether Kennedy makes good movies or not, but whether or not a company led by her can effectively produce a movie per year. It can. Bringing this back around to Solo, there won't be another Star Wars movie after it until December 2019. And then we don't know when the next one will come out, or what it will be.

I just get baffled when people act concerned about the quality dropping when we've already had the prequels. And I like them. But.
