Kathleen Kennedy is set to step down as Lucasfilm president by the end of the year after 13 years at the helm. Originally planning to leave in 2023, Kennedy extended her tenure but is now making moves toward her exit. Her leadership saw Star Wars come back with The Force Awakens and the other two Rey movies. The brand also expanded into streaming with The Mandalorian, but the film franchise struggled under her watch, with creative shake-ups and abandoned projects. With The Mandalorian movie and Grogu set for 2026, speculation is growing over who will take her place, with Dave Filoni emerging as a top contender. 🎥 PuckNews #kathleenkennedy #starwars #lucasfilm
