It’s kinda weird, because back when Lucasfilm was independent them making original films / new adaptations made more sense (following this vision of letting people make their movies). But now that it’s owned by Disney it doesn’t seem all that much a difference (Disney will still ensure the film follows their values, even if it’s Kennedy in charge instead of _____).
That being said, it’s always nice for Hollywood to focus on more original stories. So I’m positive.
