Part 2/10:
In her interview, Kathleen Kennedy repeatedly claimed that the Star Wars universe lacked substantial source material, particularly in terms of extensive books and comics. She insisted that the challenges faced during the production of the latest movies stemmed from an absence of a rich, predefined mythology to draw from, akin to other franchises like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.
Kennedy's Statement:
"We don't have comic books, we don't have 800-page novels, we don't have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be."
