As far as I'm concerned, Kennedy also completely missed the reason why Solo didn't do as well as the other Star Wars movies. It wasn't the recast of Han and Lando, it was the bad release date (Memorial Day hasn't been a guarantee in 20 years) and also the movie being released five months after the last Star Wars movie. Does anyone think that Solo would have done better if they had pasted a de-aged Harrison Ford face on top of modern day Ford or even another actor? No, it only would have resulted in armchair quarterback losers making You Tube videos showing how they could do the face replacement better than ILM did.
Now that being said, if they don't want to recast old characters, that's fine by me because it'll hopefully force them to something else in the SW galaxy. Also, I agree with her that moving away from the Skywalker saga is vital and I hope they start doing something new soon. Unfortunately, everything on the cover of Vanity Fair (Ahsoka, The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor) is straight from the previous movies or TV shows so while I want to see those shows, I guess it'll be a while until they actually move away from the Skywalker saga.
