In a new interview with New York Times, Disney Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy and The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland share thoughts on the upcoming Disney+ show THE ACOLYTE including a lament of "Toxic" male fans.
Leslye Headland Hopes the Force Is With ‘The Acolyte’

In the article Kathleen Kennedy says “Operating within these giant franchises now, with social media and the level of expectation — it’s terrifying,” Kennedy continued. “I think Leslye has struggled a little bit with it. I think a lot of the women who step into ‘Star Wars’ struggle with this a bit more. Because of the fan base being so male dominated, they sometimes get attacked in ways that can be quite personal.”
The article also continues:
It is a version of the same misogyny and racism that greeted Rey, the female Jedi (played by Daisy Ridley) who made her debut in “The Force Awakens” in 2015, and that drove Kelly Marie Tran off social media when she appeared in “The Last Jedi” (2017). Kathleen Kennedy, who runs Lucasfilm, has also experienced it, with “South Park” harshly attacking her in an episode last year. The cartoon depicted Kennedy giving the same feedback to “Star Wars” creators over and over: “Put a chick in it! Make her lame and gay!”

Yes Men were the reason Star Wars failed,they stopped watching it.
-
I'm black, and I don't give a shit about diversity or representation, I just want good stories and characters I care about.
-
They made it clear, it's not for men...we listened.
-
Imagine taking over a long standing franchise, then start attacking it's fan base from the onset, and wondering why they aren't supporting your endeavors.
-
Why is KK assuming our gender identity?
-
They say this series isn't for men, men say okay not watching it, then they blame men for not watching it 🤡🤡🤡
-
When you blame your customers for your product failing, you are looking in the wrong direction for any solutions.
-
What fan base? Men aren’t watching Star Wars at this stage.

If I own a pizza and pasta restaurant and 70% of my sales are pizza, I sell more pizzas. Now I wake up and decide to sell all pasta and I lose 70% of my sales what do I do. Cry, blame the pizza lovers for being pastaphobic, pasta racists, toxic pizza boys. No I sell pizzas and keep my customers. Starwars is dead and they killed it. And blaming fans from walking away from a rubbish Disney franchise because they changed it is old and tired. Nobody cares and the blame game doesn't work anymore.
-
So she admits a Male Dominated Audience and makes product for Women. BRILLIANT!!!
-
Blaming customers for not purchasing your product is not a winning strategy....
-
Old school star wars fans HATE what disney has done with star wars
-
Kathleen Kennedy: "We don't write stories for male audiences!" Also Kathleen Kennedy: "Why aren't men watching???!!!"
-
Why did my steakhouse fail, I aimed it at Vegans and said meat eaters were not welcome, I just don't understand.
-
Blaming men is like blaming the Dogs for not liking the new formula of a previously well loved Dog Food
-
When you give people what YOU want, instead of what THEY want.. you have an ego problem.
-
I am a female fan and I think that Disney has destroyed the franchise, K Kennedy does not speak for me.
-
If “the force is female”, then so is the failure…women not accepting any accountability, I’m shocked! Well, not really…
-
Has anybody simply tried telling Disney that most women don't really care about Star wars?
-
so the problem with star wars is they know their fanbase and refuse to make something we like
