Marvel is the model. Lucasfilm, with all their talent, has such horrible leadership. If star wars is going to continue (and it will because it was a huge investment) they need to start restructuring and get rid of DARTH Kennedy.

Marvel was lacking before infinity war and black panther. The last Jedi shoved SJW ideology down our throats, that’s my problem

Wtf The Last Jedi was so much better than Infinity War.

I enjoyed the open ended nature of everything. Many scenarios had no correct answer like Poe turning on Leia/Holdo, kind of like a real war. People wanted an on-rails experience where everyone only gets one option and they either succeed or lose and TLJ was the opposite.

I think it could have been better, but it's still up there as one of my favorites.

Solo isn't projected to do "very well". It's projected to do like $700-900 million. With a large budget to start with and the fact that they had to reshoot 80% of the film and replace the director and a cast member, it's entirely possible the film doesn't even break even during it's theatrical run.

Dave Finoli should take over honestly. His stories are incredible

I'd love to see you get your ass kicked.

Her statement is nothing like what the article implies - she says it is an 'assumption' that some have made that females may not be into Star Wars because of certain main characters. It is clear she does not agree with this assumption. She only states that it is their job to tell the best stories and not to put up barriers that might exclude people. She does not say 'we need less male characters in Star Wars'. Also, even if they did feel that SW was too male, Luke is hardly a major factor as a supporting 'mentor' role. He's not the POV character of the new trilogy anyway. Rey, Poe, and Finn are... If they wanted it to be less male they'd kill off one of them.

Hamill will be back for Ep. 9 anyway, just in a new, ethereal role. He's said plenty of times that he's just waiting on J.J.'s call, even if his enthusiasm is understandably diminished after his close friend's passing. His character has evolved and I - and I believe I'm not alone - am very excited to see how Luke impacts the events of Ep 9.
