On the one hand, Jon Favreau is a proven blockbuster filmmaker with a strong command of fantasy storytelling.
On the other hand, announcing that another straight white dude is helming a Star Wars project ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY is… not great.

Good grief. Of course Favreau is totally qualified for this Star Wars job. Plenty of women & POC would ALSO be great at it, but none have been hired by Lucasfilm. Both of these things are true. And announcing on the day that's supposed to celebrate women is really poor timing.
