Should Kathleen Kennedy Be Fired or Step Down?
On one hand, Kennedy is the President of Lucasfilm, not the President of Star Wars. Although Lucasfilm has focused primarily on Star Wars for the last five years, she has also put another Indiana Jones movie into pre-production, and might possibly begin work on a Willow sequel. Some people have pointed out that she is a movie producer first and not a Star Wars fan, but they fail to realize she wasn't hired to run Star Wars. She was hired to produce all movies from different franchises.
On the other hand, she hasn't done a good job as a producer of the movies that have been released. She has clashed with the directors of almost all of the movies released or are yet to be released, even removing a few of them during production. I still don't understand how after a year-and-a-half of pre-production and four months of production (not to mention however long the process was to "interview" for the job) she decided that Phil Lord and Chris Miller weren't the right directors for "Solo" after all.
I don't have an answer to the question. If she's kept around, people won't be happy. If she's removed, another group of people won't be happy, especially if she's fired so a man can take over her job. Either way, it seems to be lose-lose.

How To Remake "The Last Jedi"
How to remake #TheLastJedi:

Make it EXACTLY like "The Empire Strikes Back" because it is the best and only good Star Wars movie, but don't make it too much like "The Empire Strikes Back" because people will complain that it's just a beat-by-beat retread.
DO NOT under any circumstances introduce new Force abilities that have not been seen in any of the previous movies, even though every Star Wars movie has done exactly that.

Also DO NOT depict Luke as a failed Master, because there have never been any Jedi that were failures in any of the previous movies. Remember, that was not J.J. Abrams' intention for the character of Luke when he wrote that Luke was in hiding on a far away planet.

And finally, remember that Star Wars movies are made only for you and your nostalgia, and not for a wide audience. And also, do not use any CGI ever, only practical effects.
