Kathleen Kennedy has worked with Spielberg for the last twenty years to create forgetable audience pictures with very few good exceptions.

 Just a small list of films Kathleen has produced:

Raiders of the Lost Ark

E.T.

Gremlins

The Color Purple

Back to the Future

Empire of the Sun

Schindler's List

Jurassic Park

 

Alot of those films are more then 20 years old and I had mentioned yeah there are a few exceptions.  I really meant to refer to films like War of the Worlds, Jurassic Park 3, Twister, Signs...

Films meant for big opening weekends and then forgotten soon after.  Thats the exact kind of thinking that would go into having the original OT as the main cast.  Great marketing hype but not good for the overall picture.
