Shareholders were mad at how much Disney spent on the IP and demanded an immediate return on investment. This meant Disney didn't have time to come up with a well-thought-out plan for their film trilogy. When that didn't work they simply started producing as many cheap tv shows as possible to help consumers justify the cost of Disney Plus.

stupid soulless corporatism and filoni fanfic fetishism. if George had kept holding the reins, the IP at least would not have entered the sad neutered state of being that all major IPs have been in in the modern corpo-gay era. I think his ideas likely would have been bad too, just not stuff that sucks the essence out of Star Wars.

Someone post the quote of her or someone high up at Disney bitching about the fact that they didnt have any IP to build on like one year after they declared that all of the SW literature wasnt canon
These people went to Ivy League schools

You underestimate her power. She's a key figure in the fall of Hollywood in general that we will see complete over the next 20 years. They will look back and blame her in particular, among others.

It was George Lucas. If he hadn't made the prequels such juvenile laughingstocks, he would never have sold the franchise out of spite.

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".

They just need a good movie and it will be back. No one cares anymore that The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian season 3, Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Acolyte sucked after Skeleton Crew and Andor Season 2 were good.

Believe it or not she's finalizing her "legacy" at Lucasfilm by overseeing the complete restoration of the original theatrical OT. This will be released to coincide with "SW 50" in 2027 similar to "Jaws 50" from this year.
This is the same reason Spaceballs 2 releases in 2027. Expect to see additional documentaries about the process of making SW along with a documentary chronicling the restoration the restoration efforts. Rest assured, this will be the best the OT has ever looked in terms of clarity, film stabilization and color. It will make the current 4k releases look like mediocre trash in comparison.

A lawsuit for releasing the unaltered OT? Get a grip LMAO. This isn't speculation btw. It's based on recent leaks.

The fans.
The original trilogy produced two groups of fans: those that liked Star Wars for its space adventure, friendship, western gunslinger/eastern samurai vibes, the buddhist concept of the force, etc etc etc - and those that liked laser swords and boom zooms.
The second group massively outnumbered the first group even in the 80s and 90s. They flooded star wars magazines and forums were retarded wish fulfillment desires (We wanna aee Yoda fight with a lightsaber! We wanna see the clone wars! We wanna see trained Jedi fight! We wanna see Stormtroopers fighting more!). Lucas was aware of this extremely vocal group when he was making the prequels and mistakenly believed that just because fans want something doesn't mean you should give it to them.
Of course these were all terrible ideas but it's what the majority of stat wars fans wanted and still want, they just don't realize how lame and uninteresting all of that zoom boom nonsense is. George is still to blame for being too soft hearted and giving them what they said they wanted, but ultimately the shittification of the franchise rests solely with the fans of it.
