It has nothing to do with anything.

Would you chastise her if her daughter was filming, and she kept mentioning how it was "her daughter?" No. The fact that a woman might direct is simply something she's proud of, and is certainly not a reason not to like a film, in and of itself.

No. Because she has someone in mind. That's different.

Of course its not. No one said that. It was just rightly questioned why that had to be tossed in there. If the director has been named already then use the name. I dunno.

I mean, we'll see what the movie is about and all that. Honestly though, Ive about had enough Star Wars anyway. Cant believe I keep saying that but its run its course and nothing they can make going forward will EVER touch the magic of the originals and even some of the prequels so this hardly matters.

Its just Disney recoverng their $4 billion bucks which I cant blame them for! . Go ahead and oversaturate and make a side film for everything. Whatevs.

Because the person doing the interview asked her the question. And she answered it honestly.

Nope, it certainly the hell does not.....but, like I said, THATS how *it* is. So, yeah. Just sit there and accept it. Dont dare question it.

Statistically speaking, it is still remarkable when a woman is director of certain kinds of genre movies.

You are probably right but it’s been proven they can do just fine. KKs comment just seemed strange but she’s quite the character so perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. Who knows, maybe it will be good.

Nope, read the tweet or whatever the hell you call that stuff. Maybe this is why tweeting is stupid? It takes things out of context and lacks details. Either way, zero reason for KK to throw that in there but that’s how she rolls. Whatevs. I just pray she doesn’t ruin more Star Wars stuff.

I'm exactly right. Statistically speaking few women have helmed major genre films of this kind. And so far ZERO women have directed a live action Star Wars feature film.

It's not a comment. It's a blank statement of fact and not at all strange to have been said while it's still statistically remarkable. When it's no longer remarkable then you'll stop hearing it being pointed out.

I think you've chosen to read way too much into it.

This. People don’t seem to realize social equality is like a pendulum, it swings back and forth to the extremes before it truly levels out. One day it will be something that has no purpose being mentioned, but that is not today.

You should probably listem to the interview so you can have an informed opinion.

Yeah that's why the directors of movies are predominantly males. Because they have the talent, naturally.

Who said only white men can be skilled directors? Quite a racist and sexist statement on your part.

How about hiring individuals based on skill, irrespective of their gender or race?
