They also don't do these women any favors with the shit writing and cookie cutter streaming formula

A lot of women in Star Wars are great actresses, saddled with bad scripts and poor writing.

Gender aside, shit management and writing is still shit management and writing Kathleen

Star Wars fans who want good stories and characters: "They just told me you were a shite producer. The fact that you're a woman never came up."

Also, remind Kennedy that the first and biggest reason good fans hate her is because she hired a white guy ...who's also shite at his job and fucked up a lot of good things about Star Wars lore.
