Just something I've noticed.

Nah mate, it's something you've made up or imagined, frankly. I've never seen that, and you can't provide a single example to support this prima facie ridiculous claim.

These days die hard TLJ fans are few and far between.

There are exactly the same number now that there were when it came out, maybe more, so this is just a weird thing to say.

Or you're sealioning things. It's a forum not a academic paper. Reference something you saw on a forum or reddit 6-8 years ago.

Look hard enough you'll find all sorts of opinions.

"Prove it" isn't sealioning.

"Please explain this concept in detail to me, I'm really interested!" when all you want to do is waste someone's time is sealioning.

Don't ruin another term like gaslighting, gatekeeping, and so on got ruined, just because your position is indefensible.

If something happens regularly, like you're claiming, I can absolutely find it on the internet. That's really all there is to it. But you're clearly admitting you can't, so that's that.

(His script is pretty awful, Jenny Nicholson goes through it here

Jenny Nicholson is a national treasure. And that script is absolutely horrid. Worse than the movie we actually got.

She certainly is! And yeah, like, as bad as The Rise of Skywalker was, this is somehow worse (even featuring that trademark Trevorrow misogyny, putting a bit of sexual violence into Star Wars, something I'm sure we all wanted... /s)

No I'm saying it's not worth my time finding it and red text as well.

I wasn't claiming it's a common opinion. Remember you can find peopke whose favorite SW movie is AotC. Or any of them.

You can go trawl through reddit posts on Kathleen Kennedy of you want. Similar opinions are there.

Oh I believe that. I was one of them and I know there are others. I was one of them right up until some months after the movie I bought the DVD of AotC and watched the DVD of AotC, and realized I must just have been in an incredibly good mood in the cinema when I went to see it lol. Because that was a baaaaad movie. It was a really nice day, I was in LA, and I saw it a really nice cinema, I think that all helped (I have often been in an inexplicably great mood when in LA - it's not even a nice place!).

Actually knew a guy who loved it 2002. Can't reference that.

Cross forum drama is against the rules but go find the Kathleen Kennedy threads in r/star wars, r/starwarsEU, r/saltierthancrait and r/saltierthankrayt.

Not hard to find but some are R18 content wise so not linking them. I haven't crawled through it. The two krayt/crait ones are basically insane opposite sides of the coin. Even I'm not that brave generally. You have been warned

Grifters have been saying Kennedy has been leaving for years. She'll be 72 so retirement isn't that unusual. I don't blame her for ST troubles but shareholders/Iger. Rian for his writing on TLJ.

I'm going to bring up West End Games' Star Wars RPG that was first released in 1987 I think. As hard as it is to believe, WEG was pretty much the only source for new Star Wars material after around 1985. Kenner was no longer producing toys, the Droids/Ewoks cartoon wrapped up in 1986, and there was no expectation that we'd ever see a new Star Wars movie ever. When Timothy Zahn wrote the Thrawn books he was given RPG books from West End Games to use as a reference for the setting.
