I bet you too could’ve produced Star Wars and landed on that list a few times. It’s /Star Wars/.

Sure, but she also did ET, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, The Sixth Sense, Twister, War of the Worlds, Back to the Future, Lincoln, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Gremlins, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Seabiscuit, Shindler's List, The Color Purple, The Goonies, The Land Before Time and much more.
Anything in the last 15 years?
The five Star Wars movies she oversaw from 2015-2019 made $5.92 billion at the box office, but let me know if that's not enough money for her to be considered successful.
You mean the ones that are widely panned, sold no merchandise, and poisoned the franchise? Those movies? I wonder about the people who defend those movies, I really do.
People get far too much up in arms over some movies.
You can't not give her credit for Star Wars and then try to blame her for the bad ones.

Either she matters or she doesn't, you can't only give her blame while denying credit for the same job.
