Well, there is no doubt that Patty Jenkins is an outstanding filmmaker, with a pretty great track record to boot.

But what happened after the success of the original Wonder Woman isn't uncommon. Friends come out of the woodwork and want favors, gigs, etc. and so on. And most people want to help their friends in the business, because so many people struggle to get great gigs on a set like WW1984.

But it becomes a problem when a director of that stature just hires everyone they know, which sometimes empowers those people to make bad decisions. And bad decisions generally lead to more bad decisions until things just spiral out of control

Patty Jenkins will have a solid support group at Lucasfilm, something she didn't really have a WB because they've hired and fired their upper management many times over the past few years since being acquired by AT&T. At Lucasfilm, she'll not only have resources like Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau but other A-List directors like Peyton Reed, Taika Waititi, Deborah Chow, Tony Gilroy and so many other highly successful filmmakers to lean on.

Having that support and experience in the Star Wars galaxy will make all the difference in the world.
