Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Lucasfilm CEO Kathleen Kennedy has stepped out in support of The Acolyte, addressing sexism in the Star Wars fandom. The Star Wars fandom has always been divided and divisive, and Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy has experienced a lot of hostility; Kennedy was even the villain of a South Park special.
As a lifelong Star Wars fan, Headland notes that she understands the frustration fans can feel - and has felt it herself. "I stand by my empathy for Star Wars fans," she told the New York Times in a text message. "But I want to be clear. Anyone who engages in bigotry, racism or hate speech… I don’t consider a fan." In truth, it's sad that such a comment even needs to be made.
The Star Wars Fandom Still Struggles With A Sense Of Ownership Close There's a sense in which Star Wars has always been plagued by a single question: who owns Star Wars? For George Lucas, the answer was always simple; he did. That's why he felt comfortable making the Star Wars Special Editions, and didn't much mind if he contradicted the old Expanded Universe in his prequels.
