Alleged Lucasfilm Insider Spills the Beans

On May 26, 2018, on the /tv/ board on 4chan an user titled Lfl did an AMA session with the users. Given that the source was anonymous and his refusal to prove his credentials, we should take his information it with a grain of salt. Though I felt like resposting most of what he revealed. I know I am posting this with the good chance that OP was just roleplaying, but time will tell whether any of this is real or not.

>any talk of firing kathleen? She’s certainly not in good standing after the Last Jedi debacle. Absolutely hated in my department and by a lot of others I know of.

>Let me guess this is a thread where you pretend Lucasfilm is in shambles because a single movie is underperforming. Far from it, actually, but we’ve seen better days. TFA killed a lot of the creative/“anything goes” vibe we had, as evidenced by the “Art Of” book. Seriously, take a look at how cool some of the concept art we had that was thrown out for a safer approach. However, R1 was a blast to work on and felt like the old days. TLJ and Solo were very awkward to work around. A lot of wasted potential with Solo and a lot of in-fighting with both productions.

>tell me about Indiana Jones, news on the 5th film, are more films in the future? It’s in development hell. 2019 is a lucky shot in the dark. Overall, I don’t know much beyond the fact that it’s barely been moving along.

>Do you wish Kevin Feige was in charge? Are toy companies pissed off because of the lame characters and designs? Possibly. There are a number of people I’d rather have in charge of the writing, mostly some of the creative veterans like Filoni or Leeland. The general idea around here is that a “hands off” producer who could also keep things under control would work best. Hasbro is actually pissed off at the way information is handled and the focus on “earth tones” and less interesting visuals in both background aliens and main characters. Going forward there will be a push for more “toyetic” and PT-esque designs. I’ve seen some interesting IX designs, especially Kylo/Rey, who both have “battle armor” on. Kylo has some sort of red crystals on his. Not sure if Kyber or whatever.

>Is the next anthology really Obi-Wan? Any plans for Maul in other anthologies? Yeah, Obi-Wan is the next anthology. Bit of a poorly kept secret at this point, but the announcement should happen within the next 3-4 months. I’ve seen some concept art and it’s honestly breathtaking. I have a great feeling about the film as long as it isn’t stiffled creatively. Don’t believe any bullshit about Thrawn being in it. As far as I know, he’s not. Next movie is up in the air, but talks are revolving mostly around a Boba Fett/Bounty Hunters movie. After that a Solo sequel is planned depending on how well this movie does. That’s where Maul should be making his next appearance. If Solo bombs then he’ll appear in the Fett movie. Considering the Mandolorian connection between them, it’s not a bad idea in my opinion.

>When’s Kuntleen getting the boot? How exactly are you going to right the ship for Episode IX? How much internal division is there at Disney/LFL about the direction the franchise is taking? Kathleen isn’t going anywhere until post IX. If that and Solo underperform then she’ll probably be chained to a smaller project that no one cares about, (ala FOD) and given creative control to herself. 9 is going to be very different. Timeskip, more “toyetic” designs. Personally, I think the damage is done at this point. A lot of higher-ups were gunning for JJ to do all 3 movies and are losing their minds at the idea of SW becoming unprofitable. By the way, Johnson’s trilogy will most likely not happen. Overall there is a very tense atmosphere in the upper-class of the company. Very competitive overall. Lower on the ranks, everyone seems a little bit more disgruntled than usual and a lot of the “magic” is gone. A lot of people are just happy to be paid.

>Is there any truth to the rumor that they are abandoning the trilogy structure for a continuous MCU style? That’s bullshit. Trilogies will always remain. Now, the anthology movies are a different case. Those will be handled more MCU-like.

>Anon you’re exposing yourself as a fake too easily here. Nobody shills on 4chan. It wasn’t JUST on 4chan obviously, but on the internet as a whole. Journalism sites, fan sites, ect. I think the lesson Disney learned is that shilling for a SW movie is pointless when the fans are so opinionated.

>How did they try to defend it? Rian Johnson was being toted around as a “true fan of both the OT/PT” here and that was the narrative/marketing strategy for awhile. Backfired when the movie actually came out and marketing had no idea how to handle it, so damage-control mode was engaged.

>Tell me the truth, how much posting on the Star Wars reddit is paid for? I go there for a good laugh every now and then, it’s the only community I’ve seen where people are so determined to be positive about TLJ that they will include stuff like “TLJ was my fav SW movie btw” at the end of completely unrelated posts. Reddit is a huge center of the marketing campaigns, especially since the site is such a hivemind and opinions get parroted once they’re popular enough to stand on their own. /tv/ is very similar, but contrarian, and harder to control. The Force.net is another, albeit smaller, center for damage control.

>what’s Rian like? Weirdo. Easily one of the weirdest fucking dudes I’ve met, and I only met him twice. Words cannot describe how awkward he is.

>What’s Pablo Hidalgo really like? Awesome irl, but a bit of a dick online. He’s constantly bombarded though. Personally, I think Matt Martin handles fan relations much better and more enthusiastically.

>Why is Disney afraid of using classic aliens? Why are all their alien designs fucking shit and the exact same earthy-brown muppets? Honestly, the art design in the Disney films are fucking boring, uninspired and more Dr. Who rather than Star Wars. Don’t even get me started. The reasoning behind it is despicable too. That brown/earthy skin tone is cheaper to cast for the prop department than recreating the colorful classic puppets/mask. It’s all about cutting corners. The amount of humans in the recent movies is so fucking boring and everyone agrees. Hopefully that’s something fixed with the “toyetic” initiative in future films.

>what is the general opinion of the movies and characters (rey, finn, poe) in the office? Not hated, but the general opinion is that nothing will come close to George’s movies/characters. Gotta admit, it was funny to watch some of the OT purists at LFL start to appriciate the PT when TFA came out. I think those movies will age a lot better now that George is gone. I know a fair amount people who really enjoy the ST characters. Rey is obviously the most popular, but everyone seems disappointed that Finn was sidestepped and turned into a joke in TLJ/TFA.

>Are they really talking about recasting Leia? That seems like such a shitty thing to do. Unfortunately, I can confirm it’s been talked about. No idea who the picks are, but it’s a better option than CGI Leia IMO

>Do you know why Trevorrow was Fired? What happened behind the scenes in rogue one between Edwards and Gilroy? He literally had no idea what to do with IX after Rian’s Rape and flipped out. I don’t blame him, who the fuck even cares about IX in the fanbase now?

On Overwatch and Good Sportsmanship

Someone called me “disillusioned” for saying ‘good game everyone’ after a match in ovw so sit down kids its time for a little lesson in good sportsmanship. 

I’ve been playing competitive sports since before I was 10, including several different sports. For the sake of simplicity I’ll just be comparing it to tennis. After every game, no matter if you lost horribly, or you stomped your opponent, no matter what you always, always go up to them and shake their hand and you say ‘good game’ or ‘great game.’ It’s polite, it’s good sportsmanship, and it shows that you actually care about the game itself rather than just winning it. 

I have no tolerance and no respect for people who rage after they lose a game, or put the other team down when they beat them. When you play a game or a sport against someone else, you treat them with respect- I don’t care whether it’s online or irl. We all lose sometimes, and yes we all rant to ourselves in our minds or maybe even off of mic/ chat. But the point is- that’s where it stays. You don’t start ranting at people, you leave it where it’s you and maybe a friend are there to hear it. 

There’s also a huge difference between working with your team mates when things are going wrong, or yelling at them and being passive aggressive. I had a team mate the other day who got super passive aggressive about little things, to the point where he left even though we were doing those things because we were pointing out his entirely unnecessary tone. And here’s the thing- that’s not working with your team. You can phrase the same request as “hey that turret is up could (x counter) get it?” rather than “why aren’t you getting the turret i’m looking at you (x counter)” or “maybe its not obvious but get that turret.” Because if you’re being a rude asshole people won’t want to work with you, because you’re not working with them either. 

A different game someone went on mic after the fact to rant “good fucking job team” when we lost. Similarly in another recent game, two people decided that they were the only ones doing well and therefore they’d just yell at everyone else and when that failed go and stand in the corner doing nothing for the rest of the game, and then yell at us some more when the game ended. Behavior like that not only shows that they don’t understand how team based games work, they’re just generally unpleasant people (one of them proceeded to act the same for every game, ranting whether he won or lost) who ruin the game for anyone else playing it. It all goes back to treating people with respect- including your team mates. If your team is doing bad, try to work with them. And if it doesn’t work then it doesn’t work, but yelling at people isn’t going to help in any way. To go back to the tennis analogy- tennis is a bit of a strange sport in that it’s both a team sport and an individual sport. You can win your game, but if your team mates lose theirs you can still lose the match. Personally I think that works pretty well compared to overwatch- no matter how well you play, you can’t win unless you work with your team. Encourage them, don’t put them down. If they mess up repeatedly, give them polite advice and encourage them to want to get better, and eventually they’ll get it. If you yell at them or put them down it’ll only make things go worse. 

When people act like pissed of 10 year olds with no filter, it ruins the experience for everyone, including the people acting like that. And yes there’s a certain amount of that that’s “expected” but that doesn’t mean it should be tolerated. Overwatch is multiplayer game and in any competitive games or sports there’s an expectation of good sportsmanship. That’s how I was taught through sports growing up, especially when I lost, and that’s how you grow and improve. So yeah, no matter how badly we lose, or how quickly we win, I always leave some kind of message at the end, at the very least a small ‘gg’ if I can’t get myself to type out the whole thing. If things go really bad, even no comment is better than raging. Sportsmanship is just as important in overwatch and other games than it is in sports. Do it, stick with it.
