Part 2/11:
Leslie Hedlund was announced as the showrunner for a new Star Wars series for Disney+. What raised eyebrows is her past — notably, her role as a former personal assistant to Harvey Weinstein. Hedlund herself confirmed the show would be female-centric, a move that some believe was deliberately leaked or promoted by Disney's internal factions, possibly influenced by Kathleen Kennedy's camp. This connection to Weinstein has fueled speculation about the motives behind her hiring, and whether her appointment was purely based on her talent or influenced by other factors.
