Overlord DVD's youtube channel reported a rumor from an anonymous Disney employment. Overlord DVD pointed out that he cannot verify the authenticity of the rumor but it does neatly explain Kathleen Kennedy's actions to this point.
Kennedy's Original Master Plan
Step One: Kathleen Kennedy assumed the Disney sequel trilogy would be commercially and critically successful because, you know Star Wars is a license to print money. She underestimated how easy it is to be a creative.
Step Two: Bask in the credit for a successful franchise, use this leverage to take over Indiana Jones and create another commercial and critical success.
Step Three: Slowly let slip in interviews that Kathleen Kennedy was the true brains behind Star Wars and Indiana Jones as evidence by how successfully she handled the franchises. George Lucas took all the credit because he is/was an evil misogynist.
Now she has to to damage control. She is saying that her Star Wars projects did subpar because manbaby misogynists cannot handle strong female characters.
The Mandalorian ruined her ability to damage control. Cara Dune proves that most male fans do not have a problem with strong female characters provided they are well-written. The other problem is that the most successful part of Star Wars is the part of Star Wars she had the least creative control over. Finally, the hypocrisy of the cancel culture mobs shows that even if Kathleen Kennedy is sincere about her SJW dogma, her followers do not have the moral high ground in this instance.
Honestly I don't think Kennedy can crawl her way out of this one. Then again I'm not her. I don't think she cares about money. She is about sixty right and already a millionaire. She could retire in luxury if she chose I think she is concerned with legacy. I see three options for her.
1-She is really delusional and she is continue her original plan to usurp the credit for George Lucas previous movies. This is actually the best case scenario for Star Wars fans because this cannot possibly succeed and eventually Filloni or someone like will take over Lucas Film.
2-"If I can't have it, no one can!" She will move from accidentally burning Star Wars to intentionally burning Star Wars down. I do not think the franchise can recover from this.
3-Kennedy accepts that she cannot win the Star Wars battle and prepares a golden parachute. In this case the golden parachute would probably be a spin off division of Disney that she has full control of but Kennedy Inc. gets insulated from the rest of Disney.
Or I could be way off base with my guesses. The rumor makes a lot of sense. Otherwise the only rational explanation is Kennedy wanted Star Wars to fail.
