1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,319
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. So I'm gonna bring this up very quickly.

2
00:00:02,399 --> 00:00:05,200
Dyn't refer to it. We did a like the first topic.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:06,480
I think it was like forty five minutes where we

4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,039
gotnet to everything right because we talked about Kennedy, Star Wars,

5
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,560
the history, who could replace her? This is one thing

6
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:13,640
that I want to get because even the headline of

7
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:16,199
the article, so she did an interview. This is not

8
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,160
like a scoop, not like an OH source of say,

9
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,920
Kenny sat down with Deadline and here's the headline. She's

10
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,559
not soon retiring and the films that and the films

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,519
that will keep her in Star Wars orbit for years

12
00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:32,159
to come. So that's the headline again, she is not

13
00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:35,039
soon retiring and the this is very.

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: Weirdly worded, like it doesn't feel ai but it feels

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,320
like a hack job of an article title.

16
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: Look at that hatchee. Now listen, I just made up

17
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:43,679
a word.

18
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: And we know I stumble on stuff all the time, right,

19
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,439
but that's not me misreading that, right, the films that

20
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,119
will keep her in Star Wars orbit for years to come.

21
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,119
Speaker 2: That yeah, they just wanted the orbit pun. They just

22
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,479
wanted the space pun. But at the cost of like

23
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,439
a legible headline. So this isn't even saying she is

24
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,200
soon retiring?

25
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 3: Is I think it says not? I think my the

26
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:05,120
GV logo is cutting it off.

27
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's not soon retiring, right, which is also a

28
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,640
strange sentence.

29
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: But it's so this is the odd thing, right. So

30
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:13,280
I saw this credit to uh, it's whenever are now?

31
00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:13,519
Speaker 3: Right?

32
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,359
Speaker 1: But with the ga Chadham on Twitter, Chris Bogo shared it,

33
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,400
and I saw the head this headline right away, right

34
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,040
if she's not retiring, Oh boy, Okay, there's some scoop

35
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,319
of stuff that didn't go well. She's putting a caboche

36
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,000
on it. And I'm not gonna spend a long time

37
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,120
and I'm gonna go down to the very last question of

38
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,599
this article, or the second last question here, two final questions.

39
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:36,200
Deadline says, will you step up as lucasfilm boss? This here, Kennedy,

40
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,959
we really don't know the stage. There's so much going on, Mike,

41
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,599
I don't know.

42
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,079
Speaker 2: I read that. I love the Kama, Mike. I loved

43
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,359
her adding the interviewer's name just has like an air

44
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:50,959
of like she's so pissed off and exhausted of this

45
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,519
and I love that first.

46
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: And to play that this is why this whole thing

47
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,680
is deadline. Then asks when it happens, who will make

48
00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:59,640
the decision. It's my decision. This is one hundred percent

49
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,200
my decision, and that's what I want to get on that.

50
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,480
I think this article was either if it was whether

51
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,759
it was just a scooper that heard something and just

52
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,080
wanted to go fast, or it was somebody that's like,

53
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:13,520
I don't like Kennedy.

54
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:14,599
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell.

55
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Somebody, because like the puck we went over, this puck

56
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,800
is like a business one they put out and then

57
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,120
like all the other Steer scoopers jumped on and said, oh,

58
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,199
I've heard the same thing, so we don't know. But

59
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,960
this definitely feels like this was not she's leaving. It

60
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:29,360
still sounds like she's leaving. Just sounds like the message

61
00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:31,960
that they wanted to put out was her announcing or anything, right,

62
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:34,479
because even the cliff notes of this article tried to

63
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,560
find somewhere she talks about like the Mandalorian movie and

64
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,039
the Sean Leavy movie and stuff, how she's like, oh,

65
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,719
I got many projects coming up. These are products she's

66
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:45,759
working on right now. That of course, yeah, we'll released,

67
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,439
but she could still be retired. You're still a producer

68
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,159
credit on them, right, Like George Lucas still gets credit

69
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:52,360
on Star Wars movies, but he's.

70
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:52,879
Speaker 3: Been long gone.

71
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: So that, yeah, it was like kind of a weird

72
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,159
gas lighting article. I think that just was put out

73
00:02:57,159 --> 00:02:59,719
there to like, Okay, hey, we didn't want we wanted

74
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:01,400
to be I want to break this. For some reason,

75
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:03,199
somebody put out there. We weren't ready to share it,

76
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,719
so let's put the cabasche on it. But everything is

77
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,080
just like even then, I want to find the quote

78
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,280
is here you go Deadline says, how far down the

79
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560
road do you expect before a change gets made? Then

80
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,800
you will go off and produce these two big stars things.

81
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,280
Kenny says, We'll probably make an announcement in months or

82
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,400
year out. I have every intention of sticking around to

83
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,879
help that person be successful. So again it's so it's it's.

84
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: We'd be like staying as like an advisor advisor role

85
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:26,319
or something.

86
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Kind of like what I did a few months with Chappick.

87
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,599
Obviously we talk about that in the newscasts. That didn't

88
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:32,240
work out, and we could see a world where even

89
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:35,159
Kenny comes back but it's so weird to be just like,

90
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,680
here's the very first paragraph. Uh, let's see the truth.

91
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:41,439
This is what she They just asked, are you retiring?

92
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:41,919
What's the truth?

93
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,199
Speaker 3: This says?

94
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: The truth is I just want to say loud and clear,

95
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,680
I'm not retiring. I will never retire for making movies,

96
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:48,719
which makes sense. She could do other stuff, but lusam,

97
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,960
I will die making movies. This is the first thing

98
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,960
that's important to say. I'm not retiring. What's happened at

99
00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:57,120
Lucasfilm is I've been talking for quite some time with

100
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,159
Bob and Alan about the eventual succession might look like.

101
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,719
We have an amazing, amazing bench of people, and we

102
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:05,719
have every intention of making the announcement in the months

103
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,000
or year down the road. So I just that's why,

104
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,719
because I just want to talk about this because I've

105
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:13,479
seen this everywhere, like so many articles, headlines, news like

106
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,639
Kathleen Kenny's.

107
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: Archtime should go anywhere.

108
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:18,079
Speaker 1: That's where you have to, like, Taylor ask me today, right,

109
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:19,439
I'm not sure IF's on the disc where I share

110
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,120
that Christian Richards and Dexter and I'm like, oh, another

111
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,800
serial Kay. He's like, well, how you know that I'm like, well,

112
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,399
did you click the article? He's like, oh, well, you

113
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,199
know me. So that's not just telling folks like go

114
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,040
out and read the thing for her to say, Hey,

115
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,199
I'm not retiring.

116
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 3: But what is it? Or is it again?

117
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: The we have we have a succession plan, we have

118
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,399
an amazing bunch of people, every intention of making an

119
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:41,199
announcement in months or a year down the road.

120
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah that means nothing right when it comes down to it.

121
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: But like to me, it was like, Okay, the report

122
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:48,319
that came out two nights goes she's retiring at the

123
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:51,360
end of twenty twenty five, and what she's saying, well,

124
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:53,319
we have a succession plan that might come out in

125
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,279
the months or a year from now, which even then,

126
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:59,279
if she were, let's say, retire in February two thousand

127
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,600
and six, would give that Scooper credit and say like, yeah,

128
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,240
that's pretty close to the end of twenty twenty five, right,

129
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,120
Like right, that's around then. So the only other things

130
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,839
that's gonna bring up, which was funny is she talked

131
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,480
about these projects. She confirmed, Yeah, Mando and Grog's going

132
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,680
going good. Oh and that's what I was gonna say too.

133
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:17,639
That last thing about we have an amazing bunch of

134
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:20,279
people here. Obviously who knows that she gets her way.

135
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,399
But to me, when you read through like the tea

136
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,560
leaves and like between the letters, I think that's literally

137
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,680
saying like when we're talking about a was it five

138
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:29,680
year someone else? I think it sounds like they have

139
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:33,240
every intention of someone on the team, right or multiple people,

140
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:35,279
like she's making it sound like they're working on a

141
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,120
succession plan with people that are around them. Obviously could

142
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,879
not happen, but I feel like that is her intention.

143
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,839
And even that original article said that she wants to

144
00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:46,839
be like she would prefer being fullony or someone she's.

145
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: Worked with right, same way George picked her.

146
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: So they talked about Mandalori and Grogo movie. Whatever they

147
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:55,639
did confirm, I'll try, Oh where was that? There's some

148
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,920
other good quote too, about or something about plans. Let

149
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,040
me do a control f here, here we go plans.

150
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,839
There's a good quote. Okay, let's just do the word plan.

151
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:08,680
You know, there's a lot of plans.

152
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: I think here go.

153
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: So Deadline asked the flurry of press coverage, it sounds

154
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,319
like chaos. What's the reality Kendy chaos? Question Mark, there

155
00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:22,519
has never been any chaos because we know exactly what

156
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,240
the plan is. That just made me fucking laugh. And

157
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,519
we've been covering stars the whole time. We know exactly

158
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,879
what the plan is. There's been made like there's I'm

159
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:33,120
sure there's been concepts of a plan, but not the

160
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,000
actual plan. But the only other things here. She confirmed

161
00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:39,240
that it looks like it is going. You have the

162
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,040
Manu Grogo movie next to film, and Shawn Leavy's movie,

163
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:44,680
So she did confirm that Ryan Gossling is in that

164
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,000
and that's supposed to take place like five to six

165
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:50,560
years after Fork Awaken, Force Awakens. Then she said they

166
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,000
are working on three to four things currently, and which

167
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:56,079
was odd to me, is even down here, I'll find it?

168
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 3: Where is? Yeah?

169
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:01,519
Speaker 1: Any others I've forgot in the deadline person asked after

170
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,480
they talked about the ones I talked about. She says, well,

171
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:06,800
I keep waiting for Tayika. He is working on he's

172
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,079
working with another writer now.

173
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: He's so busy. Yeah, I love him, blah blah blah.

174
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: So what was surprised me was we heard the Taika movie,

175
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,160
and then in this whole article she never once mentions

176
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,920
that Ray movie, which I thought would be very curious

177
00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:23,160
because like last year they announced it, they said we

178
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,240
got a writer. So she says like, hey, yeah, we

179
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:28,000
got Manelin Grogu coming out, we got the Sean Leavy movie,

180
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:28,879
we got another one, we.

181
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: Got Taika's Ray's movie.

182
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:32,879
Speaker 1: At one point, we're supposed to start filming this year,

183
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,920
and it feels very odd that she not in this

184
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:36,920
this Deadline article.

185
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,879
Speaker 3: Guy even at Mike even asks, hey, any other any.

186
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,959
Speaker 1: Other projects we haven't talked about. No, I mentioned the

187
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,480
ray one. So I'm just gonna say people, we're gonna

188
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,680
talk about Dazy Ridley. But later on maybe there's a

189
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,680
reason we're talking about her because her schedule is gonna

190
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,000
be cleared up again. So just buck up as always.

191
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,800
But yeah, yeah, I just want to share that because

192
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,879
there's some some stuff in there that's interesting.

193
00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:59,399
Speaker 2: But that's a I mean, I didn't read the whole thing, obviously,

194
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:01,519
I just bits you popped up there. But that is

195
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,040
a pretty weird article, even though she's talking, is kind

196
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,959
of strange, and I don't read other articles with her,

197
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,600
so maybe that's part for the course. But that is

198
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:12,000
saying that there's no chaos, we know what's going on.

199
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,600
Seems like this article is chaotic. You can't even answer

200
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,000
these questions in a regular human being way, so we'll see.

201
00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:19,839
Speaker 3: It was weird.

202
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:21,879
Speaker 1: It just felt like, hey, there's lots of fire, let's

203
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,360
take a bucket throw water on it. But then the

204
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,399
fire is still going because you it really conferred like

205
00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:30,079
I don't know, maybe maybe she took an abundance to

206
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,559
maybe she thought people thought she was retiring in general,

207
00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:35,360
and I just took it as from Luca's film or whatnot.

208
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, so look up for that.

209
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,799
Speaker 1: Who knows me next weekly Geek, there'll be another article

210
00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:43,679
or another thing coming up. But to me, like Scooper said, hey,

211
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,320
she's tiring in the next year, and she says, well

212
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,639
the plant, that's not true, but the plan is in

213
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:48,639
months or a year to come.

214
00:08:49,159 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. If it walks like a duck, wacks

215
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:53,720
like a duck. I think it's a duck, but just

216
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:55,440
might be Howard. Yah. Yeah,
