Talk:Kathleen Kennedy (producer)

message: KK is obviously not a favourite among Star Wars fans, and I don't blame them. But let's be real here: this childish vandalism is gonna repeat over and over again after every single movie release. Can we just lock this page and be done with this crap once and for all?

message: It is odd that the whole controversy about how Kennedy and her treatment of various Lucas properties is completely unmentioned.   It's well documented, and you can take a NPOV on it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.51.227.35 (talk) 21:34, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Controversy 

message: She's been VERY controversial, so I think we should add a section about the intense fan backlash against her because of how bad it's gotten recently. 207.172.180.75 (talk) 10:33, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Also, any such changes need to be supported by reliable sources, not blogs, comment threads, social media, etc.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 15:47, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:   This "controversy" involves nothing more than theories and so far I haven't seen numbers that certify a MAJOR backlash. We need more than just speculations to write something; find credible sources that detail the issue with facts. If we included every internet controversy about a movie on Wikipedia, the damn website would double in size in less than a week. People whining about a movie on the internet does not qualify, we need numbers, articles, etc... As a SW fan I understand where you're coming from, but we're gonna need more than this to actually talk about that "controversy". --SwissTHX11384EB (talk) 23:27, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

message: has changed the employer to this article, Kevin Feige, and Jim Morris to Walt Disney. Kennedy is the president and employee of Lucasfilm. Feige is president and employee of Marvel, and Morris is the president and employee of Pixar. Is there some reason you're changing all these page without citations?

message: Cited source is an archive from 2017, but article text says as of 2020, no clue where they get this $7.5 billion number from anyways? List of highest-grossing film producers has her at #2 worldwide($12.875B) and domestic($5.485B). Those are were based off numbers in 2020, used from  & . Lead should be updated, not sure where $7.5 came from, but that can be change, 3rd to 2nd should be updated, and is there any reason domestic was being used instead of worldwide? She is 2nd in both behind Feige either way. WikiVirusC(talk) 20:58, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

"I remember Kathy came into the room with her steno pad and her pencil, and she was horrible at taking notes," Spielberg recalls. "She was terrible, and didn't know how to do it very well. But what she did know how to do was interrupt somebody in midsentence."[12]
To This:
"I remember Kathy came into the room with her steno pad and her pencil, and she was horrible at taking notes," Spielberg recalls. "She was terrible, and didn't know how to do it very well. But what she did know how to do was interrupt somebody in midsentence. We'd be pitching ideas back and forth, and Kathy — who was supposed to be writing these ideas down — suddenly put her pencil down and would say something like, 'And what if he didn't get the girl, but instead he got the dog?'

message: Why is she titled as Dame Kathleen Kennedy? She was appointed a "honorary commander of the Order of the British Empire". On the Queen's list, she is listed as CBE, not DBE. First, commander, or CBE, does not bring the use of prefix Sir/Dame as it is the third class order, while only the first two allow this (second class would be DBE, Dame Commander, which she isn't). Second, non-British citizens, which can be awarded only honorary titles, even if awarded one of the first two orders in hierarchy are not allowed to use Sir/Dame anyway, but can use the post-nominal letters depicting their order. So, she can't be Dame Kathleen Kennedy by any stretch of imagination (unless she switched to the British citizenship in the meantime), but only Kathleen Kennedy, CBE.

message: I've rolled back some additions regarding very WP:RECENT editorializing stuff that isn't central to this biography. Until there's consensus for adding this stuff it should remain out. Nemov (talk) 20:18, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  All of this is part of her career, not biography. All of it is also well documented and covered in the media and should be apart of her time at LucasFilm. Solo was five years ago. Not sure if WP:RECENT applies here. None of what I added is controversial material, adding what I wrote below for reference! The One I Left (talk) 20:24, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
