Dude, her firing had absolutely nothing to do with "Cancel Culture" or Twitter or anything related to Social Media.

Her firing was akin to Mel Gibson's disappearance in Hollywood after making Anti-Semitic remarks caught on tape.

Studio heads and talent agents tolerate all kinds of nonsense, from drugs to alcohol to property destruction and sexual harassments to people just being miserable assholes.

But the one thing you cannot do in Hollywood is equate anything to the Holocaust or the suffering of Jewish people. Bob Iger is Jewish, as is Jeremy Zimmer. They're not going to tolerate that for one second, which is why she was ultimately fired.

I can understand why people outside of Hollywood can't wrap their heads around that concept but everyone in town with half a brain knows better than to insult the Jewish community in any way, shape or form without serious repercussions to their career. It's the highest form of disrespect in this business and flat out dumb to even broach that line.

------
That said, I'm kind of happy this is no longer in development. The Mandalorian is at a crossroads in its storytelling and no one knows what The Book of Boba Fett holds. We just saw Luke in The Mando, the Rogue One Prequel and Obi Wan will launch in 2022 with new movies by Kevin Feige, Taika Waititti and Patty Jenkins, not to mention more series in development (Ahsoka, The High Republic and so on).

I don't want Star Wars just for the sake of Star Wars. It's already a bit too watered down as is, IMO.

He was promoted early last summer to Executive Creative Director but for some reason, the "news" just got out to the public in the past couple of days.
