If we're getting a live-action Ahsoka, then I really hope that the actress has an easier time of (stage) fighting in the montral/lekku costume bits than Shaak-Ti's actress did.

It's been almost 20 years since Ep II. I know it's not like makeup and effects was in it's infancy at that point, but still the quality of the tools they have at their disposal have still increased dramatically.

Plus, I wouldn't count on her doing much fighting anyway in the Mando series...

The idea that Kennedy wouldn't or shouldn't be allowed on set is beyond idiotic on every conceivable level. That's simply not how the world works, and speaks to a complete detachment from reality or utter ignorance on the part of the commenter.

The emoticon implies something is funny. How is your sexism funny?

Well this thread went downhill fast. 🙄

Because of the way the sequel trilogy turned out, both financially and critically?

You mean financially amazing and critically, on average, better than both previous trilogies?

They did do some experimentation with lekku that aren't 30 pounds of solid rubber in the prison break episode, and how viable that is in action scenes.

You stated "directly responsible for." I think you might actually offend Favreau and Filoni if you stated Kennedy was "directly responsible" for The Mandalorian.

But, yeah, based on her current position at Lucasfilm, she will almost certainly have her name attached as an executive producer. No matter if she had her hands in the project or not.

Again, it seems a few of you simply do not understand how things work... You simply say "nuh-uh," cry "sexism!," and call it a day. That's not how you win an argument in the real world.

As for a live-action Ahsoka? Cool. Although I would have rather seen Ashley Eckstein take over the role again.

Yeah, executive produces totally don't have their hands in projects they're attached to. You're response isn't predictable at all.

Having worked in Hollywood there are executive producers who do the work and executive producers who in charge of the whole company and dont do much on a production.

wikipedia, for all that it's worth, describes the job ranging from standard producer with a bit more power to glorified accountant or copyright/royalties manager

so apparently the position can describe anything from direct producer to someone barely involved apart from signing a paper and nothing else

obviously we don't really know her total involvement in the project but "executive producer" could mean anything

Textbook you cant discuss the problems you have with something because the other party will pull the sexism card rather than actually discuss the issues. This is how some people shut down intelligent discussions.

Er, the sexism card was played by the sexists, not the people pointing out the sexism.

He's got a point though, she's president of Lucasfilm and until recently (before the mandalorian season 1), she had the sequels to occupy her

Her total involvement into TV series no one knew wether they would be successful is less likely than a remote approving role. She had more important things to manage

Guys, guys, can we get this thread back on track?

So, healthcare in the Star Wars Universe, eh?

The SW show used to anchor Disney Plus is of course only a remote concern for the boss of Lucasfilm. Yep. Sure.

In importance compared to managing the movies and the end of the (controversial) sequel trilogy considering that Favreau and Filoni have a history of being successful with their star wars shows (except resistance)?

Frankly yes, I can totally see her leaving the matter in their hands instead of micromanaging the thing

ok can we get back on track, has there been any official confirmation anywhere? I saw articles and videos supposedly confirming ahsoka in season 2 but none of those I saw quote any source

I'm not expecting anything official until much closer to release.

And without it being leaked, I wouldn't be expecting anything official until the episode in question airs.

No. People pointed out issues they had with her decisions. You guys said the complaints were because shenis female. Instead of actually addressing the complaints. I see this happen all the time here. Someone will say i dont like x decision. Then people like you go it is because you hate girls. No. It is because they didnt like a decision.

This didn't happen in this thread.

And we generally do not know what decisions she did or did not make. Haters like yourself just attribute whatever you like about Star Wars media to whatever male creative type is present, and whatever you don't like to Kathleen Kennedy, while we literally do not know who made what decision, or if anybody from Lucasfilm was even involved whit this or that decision. And of course in the case absolutely know she wasn't to blame (like when Disney forced JJ Abrams on Lucasfilm), she still gets the blame.

Dr. Freud, your slip is showing.

FFS! Let it go you muppets!

Can we please just talk about the game and what we love about Star Wars?!? Stop with this vitriol! It has been going for years and it is tiresome, and honestly not healthy for you. There are countless threads about Kennedy etc. Let's not make this another one.

Be that strong person and hold back on any further comments. Don't feel you need to rebut on any comments already said. Bring the thread back on topic.
