In a shocking turn of events, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have been named the new heads of Lucasfilm, replacing Kathleen Kennedy. The move comes after years of criticism of Kennedy's handling of the Star Wars franchise, which has seen a decline in quality and box office performance in recent years.
In a statement, Parker and Stone said they were excited to take over the franchise and "make Star Wars fun again." They also promised to address some of the most common criticisms of the recent Star Wars films, such as the lack of originality, the overreliance on CGI, and the forced diversity.
"We're going to make Star Wars movies that people actually want to see," said Parker. "We're not going to pander to any particular group of fans, we're just going to make movies that are funny, exciting, and visually stunning."
Stone added, "We're also going to bring back some of the classic Star Wars characters that people love. Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett, all of them. We're going to make Star Wars great again!"
Here is a list of Kathleen Kennedy's failures as head of Lucasfilm:
- The Last Jedi, one of the most divisive Star Wars films ever made, which led to a sharp decline in interest in the franchise.
- Solo: A Star Wars Story, a box office bomb that lost Lucasfilm millions of dollars.
- The Rise of Skywalker, a film that was rushed into production and failed to live up to expectations.
- A lack of originality in the recent Star Wars films, which have largely rehashed the same plot points from the original trilogy.
- An overreliance on CGI, which has made the films look sterile and unrealistic.
- Forced diversity, which has alienated many Star Wars fans who feel that the franchise has lost touch with its core identity.
It remains to be seen what Parker and Stone will do with the Star Wars franchise, but fans are hopeful that they will be able to turn things around. After all, they have a proven track record of success with South Park, one of the most popular and critically acclaimed animated shows of all time.
Here are some ideas for how Parker and Stone could improve the Star Wars franchise:
- Focus on telling new and original stories, rather than rehashing old plot points.
- Use less CGI and more practical effects, to give the films a more realistic and immersive look.
- Respect the core identity of the Star Wars franchise and avoid forced diversity.
- Bring back some of the classic Star Wars characters that fans love.
If Parker and Stone can do all of these things, they will be well on their way to making Star Wars great again.
