Part 6/8:

This turmoil comes on the heels of previous revolving-door scenarios within Lucasfilm. Over the past few years, numerous scripts have been rewritten, projects canceled or delayed, and creative staff dismissed—all reflective of a broader pattern of instability within the studio's handling of Star Wars.

The timing could not be worse for Disney, especially considering the franchise's waning popularity and the growing skepticism among dedicated fans. Many critics and fans believe that the persistent behind-the-scenes chaos is a sign of deeper issues at Lucasfilm, culminating in the belief that Kathleen Kennedy's leadership has contributed significantly to this disarray. Despite calls for her ousting, she remains at the helm, overseeing a franchise struggling to find its footing.
