    Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

    So we have some bad news.

    The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

    I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it

    TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

    To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

    I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

    I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

    I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

    I'll see you all around.

    With so many regards, Duke William Of.

    Ah, well... At least we'll have a reason to bring her on board if she is indeed fired. Which is not a sentence that I thought I'd ever say about Kathleen Kennedy of all people, but life finds a way, I guess.

    I will vote on a principle against getting her anywhere near LucasFilms...You don't put a fox in the Henhouse

    Alan wants to fire her. And not even for any good reasons too, he just thinks Kennedy is far to dangerous to keep around in the company.

    And because he thinks well… you'll see. But well he removed her name from The producer credit from Superman.

    This will effect the future turn.

    Gosh darn it, Alan, you were on the path of being a reasonable human being!

    NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


    ...Why must you hurt me so...I may have my sympathies for the Kennedy, but no way in hell do I want her near Lucasfilms! We must not take that chance with this new and improved timeline.

    If you look past her tenure of leaderschip of LucasFilm, you can see she did a lot of good things for a lot of good films. The way I see it, she's a good producer and not a good president. So long if we don't give her the keys to Lucasfilm we're fine.

    Yes, a good list of movies that all had good directors, good staff and good writers...all of those things she's not. The moment she tries on her own she flops, and I'm not going to take a chance on the destroyer of Lucasfilms now that we're actually on a good direction in this quest.

    This is not like Eisner, this is too much risk.
     
    K.K. would be a boon for us, I don't get the hate she receives from people considering she's been working with Lucas since the 80s.

    What I'm peeved about is Alan still getting shafted even though he's about to bring a shit ton of money to Columbia.

    It would be because of the direction modern Star Wars, besides Andor, has gone under her leadership. Straight down the freakin' drain. :V

    Still, I'm not opposed to her joining because of the power of one thing: omakes. That and the fact that she is canonically trying to improve herself in-quest.

    I suppose it's just down to me liking modern Star Wars then(aside from the last film good god why did they ruin everyone like that?)

    I don't know and I don't care...She can find herself working for someone else.

    What? Superman is on its way to be a blockbuster and this Batman film is gonna make even more than it. How is he gonna fail?

    He had to take a massive loan to buy DC... And then another loan to finance the movies.

    Even Superman doubles or triples the box office it made in OTL, it won't get the investment back
     
    Sorry, I guess the main reason I'm so invested in Alan is because of the unjust way he was sacked in the OTL. The board literally wanted to hire back a dude who'd stole 60k from them and Alan didn't wanna do that for moral reasons. Him buying up DC and it being his last big shot tonsave his ass was so dang enthralling to me.

    Wait, that wasn't an original plot?

    Oh gosh, it isn't, what on earth were they thinking?!?!

    That only shows how much of a parasite she is in OTL that she was able to drive her career off of greater men and women than her.

    I think that's an unfair discription about her. While I will completly agree with you that LucasFilm under her direction has been shit, to say she's a leech is a bit much. Have you looked at her filmography? ET, Who Framed Rogger Rabbit?, Jurrasic Park etc. and she's been nominated 8 times for best picture. Also we're in 1978 not in 2015, we're in a position to foster her good traits and try to curb her stupid traits.

    You already have.

    As a storyteller she's miles better then otl, because you gave her the reality check and help she needed to learn.

    She's no steve but she is far more capable and not blinded by her ego

    And willing to listen and that is the most impressive thing

    Hey I know, we should fund and produce a Batgirl film, do months of shooting and have everything nearly done, then just say fuck it and make it a tax write off.

    I hate WB.
