The Walt Disney Company has a huge problem on their hands. Bluey is now, hands-down, more popular than Star Wars and Marvel combined... and Disney doesn't own Bluey. They license the cartoon dogs from the BBC! For years, the conventional wisdom around Disney+ has been...
For decades, fans of Star Wars have pleaded for the original theatrical cut of the 1977 classic to be made available on streaming platforms. Yet, despite Disney’s ownership of the franchise, the unaltered version—without the A New Hope subtitle or the controversial changes made in later releases—remains elusive. However, for a brief moment, a solution seemed to emerge from an unexpected source.
A new rumor has surfaced from Film Threat’s Chris Gore and Alan Ng, suggesting that Disney has been quietly looking to sell Star Wars for the past seven months—but reportedly, there have been no takers.
CNN took another credibility hit this week after it seemingly ran defense for Kathleen Kennedy in what now appears to have been a blatant PR move, according to information shared by Puck’s Matt Belloni. The network published an article contradicting Puck’s report that Kennedy is planning her exit from Lucasfilm—citing a vague, anonymous “source close to the situation” who claimed there was “nothing there right now.”
Now, Belloni has exposed exactly who that source likely was—Kennedy’s personal publicist, Simon Halls.
The ongoing Kathleen Kennedy leaving Star Wars saga has taken an amusing turn as two Hollywood journalists, Puck’s Matt Belloni and Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr., are now publicly feuding over the story of her rumored exit from Lucasfilm.
After weeks of speculation about Kathleen Kennedy and her rumored retirement Lucasfilm, Deadline has now published an exclusive interview in which Kennedy flatly denies she is leaving anytime soon. This comes after Puck first reported that Disney was planning for her departure by the end of 2025, with The Hollywood Reporter and Variety following suit.
Disney has officially released the trailer for Andor Season 2, and while fans of the critically praised but underperforming Star Wars series may be excited, there’s something unusual about how the company is handling its release schedule. Instead of the standard weekly episode drop, Andor’s final season will be released in four “chapters,” each consisting of three episodes. That means the entire season will air in just four weeks—an approach rarely used for major franchise content.
With Puck, The Hollywood Reporter, and Variety all reporting that Kathleen Kennedy is set to retire from Lucasfilm before the end of 2025, it seemed like the long-rumored end of her tenure was finally happening. But now, CNN—an outlet struggling with dwindling relevance and collapsing ratings—has inserted itself into the conversation, citing an unnamed source who claims “there’s nothing there right now.”
After more than a decade at the helm of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy is reportedly preparing to retire, leaving Lucasfilm by the end of 2025, according to a recent report by Puck, with The Hollywood Reporter soon following suit. While rumors of her departure have circulated for years, this time, it appears to be more than just fan speculation.
It’s official: Skeleton Crew is a flop. It has become the lowest-performing Star Wars project to date. Not a single episode of Skeleton Crew made it onto Nielsen’s streaming ratings charts—a grim first for the once-unshakable franchise.
Daisy Ridley has seemingly confirmed that her upcoming New Jedi Order Star Wars Rey movie will be overtly political, following comments made by the film’s new writer, George Nolfi. As Lucasfilm struggles with audience fatigue and declining interest, it appears the studio is once again prioritizing messaging over storytelling.
The cast of The Acolyte continue to tout the show's ratings, despite the fact that objective numbers show that hardly anyone watched it. However, this group of people seem insistent on doubling down and trying to blame anyone but themselves or creator,...
The Gina Carano lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm is still moving forward, and the former Mandalorian star has provided a fresh update on her legal battle.
