This.
The factors that killed SW as an IP:
>Greedy shareholders who demanded a near immediate return on a $4 Billion investment (lol, lmao even!)
To put this into perspective, it would have had to make MCU levels of cash to even get close to making it's money back. That's 16 MCU films in the course of over a decade.
>Putting KK in charge of Star Wars
She's a shit producer. She's horrible with money, the worst sin a producer can be guilty of. I've heard figures as high as 20% over budget for every SW project she was directly in-charge of.
>"Creative differences"
KK had no vision. She knew what she liked but not what she wanted to do with the IP. So, any writer assigned to one of her projects was flying blind and she'd just show up and change things on a whim. She fired multiple writers over "creative differences" because they gave her what she asked for but not how she wanted it. "Give me XYZ. But not like that. Or that. Or that. Or like that either."
>Toxic work environment
KK HATED Favreau for upstaging her with the Mandalorian and actively tried to sabotage his work later. The only reason Gilroy got away with Andor is because KK didn't give enough of a shit to meddle. Rian Johnson was a "Yes-Ma'am" and his final product was a disjointed mess because of KK's demands and his lack of spine to tell her that her ideas were retarded (like Favreau did). KK actively worked against her own creative staff over petty bullshit. KK also hates nerdy men and had a hate-boner for Gina Carano for being prettier than her (yes, she's that petty).
>PR
Attacking the fans for not liking nu-Wars was the dumbest PR move in film history. Directors, actors, and producers linking up with "journalists" to write hit pieces against their own consumer base is peak retarded. Also, KK hates nerdy men, so she allowed it to go on instead of putting a stop to it. She got away with it by telling shareholders that "controversy generates more money".
