A new behind-the-scenes book, Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood by Maureen Ryan shed light on some of the issues facing Lucasfilm in recent years, mostly where its streaming shows are concerned. While not as scathing an exposé as the one that covered shows like her takedowns of toxic set environments on LOST or Sleepy Hollow, she revealed that there are still issues to be examined at the house that built Star Wars.
The first anecdote covered in the sections dedicated to Lucasfilm concerns a source known by the pseudonym Emma, who was hired to work on expanding Lucasfilm’s existing IP with a spin-off of some kind. Emma worked with a person at Lucasfilm (who is given the pseudonym Derek), who she believed did not understand the assignment despite being well-connected within the film and television industry. Emma noted that despite her hopes to make an impact on the project in question, she was mostly hired to “babysit” Derek as he put out subpar scripts and contributed to a chaotic set environment. It was indicated that this is one potential example of the issues that have happened behind-the-scenes at Lucasfilm with problems being brought to the company’s attention but not sufficiently acted upon.
Another anecdote concerns someone under the pseudonym of Christopher, who indicated that the pursuit of making movie-quality television shows often come at the expense of television writers. While Christopher does not appear to be a Lucasfilm employee specifically, he expressed concern that directors and producers from movies have taken the reins of these sort of projects. Case in point, Emma noted that one Lucasfilm showrunner (presumably Derek) dismissed concerns about micromanagement of a writer just because of their status as an executive. Emma also had concerns about budgets at Lucasfilm, as it seems that the company is willing to overspend on projects instead of approaching them with a fiscally-sound mindset, with the budget on one project doubling and potentially further increasing following her departure. Despite that approach stemming from confidence following the success of The Mandalorian, it may no longer fly in 2023 with Disney tightening budgets on their projects going forward.
