Kathleen Kennedy strikes again: New 'Star Wars' film sets worst record possible for Disney | Blaze Media
Disney still can't escape Kennedy's disastrous influence.

You could all see this coming a mile away. Disney, which his now perhaps the most woke corporation in the US, took control of the Star Wars movies and destroyed it.
Disney had projected $97 million to $98 million for the four-day opening but got nowhere close. In fact, the movie now ranks below "Solo: A Star Wars Story" — which took in $84.4 million in its opening — as Disney's lowest "Star Wars" debut. To make matters worse, the "Solo" movie only had three days to attract fans to its opening rather than four.
For many people, that is a boatload of cash, but for "Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu," its worldwide total of $168 million is barely enough to recover its budget of an estimated $165 million.
But the movie producer takes no ownership of creating a movie most don't want to see. No, no, no, once again, it is a Left wing loon who blames racism and sexism and a bunch of other nonsensical things.
Disney still has another Kennedy project slated for the same time next year with "Star Wars: Starfighter," set for release on May 28, 2027. Kennedy is credited as producer for that film, which features much bigger star power than the most recent flick, which included the outspoken activist Pedro Pascal.
Pascal has openly talked about helping co-stars with their gender journeys and comes from a staunch communist family in Chile.
"Star Wars: Starfighter," however, has more widely liked performers like Ryan Gosling and Amy Adams attached to the film.
Kennedy took "Star Wars" fans head-on during her time at the studio, even accusing them of attacking women who were unhappy with her productions.
In what has now become a trope, Kennedy blamed a "male-dominated" fanbase for the reason the show "The Acolyte" underperformed.
"I think a lot of the women who step into 'Star Wars' struggle with this a bit more. Because of the fan base being so male dominated, they sometimes get attacked in ways that can be quite personal," she said in 2024.
Kennedy noted that "anyone who engages in bigotry, racism, or hate speech ... I don't consider a fan."
It reminds me of how democrats ran a subpar candidate in Kamala Harris, and then blamed her failure on the same sort of things.
Sad.
