This week, rumors swirled in Hollywood about Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, potentially retiring by the end of the year, leading to much speculation about who might succeed her in one of the film industry’s most prominent positions. There were even whispers about whether Kennedy was leaving voluntarily or being pushed out by Disney. However, Kennedy has now clarified the situation directly. Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that she is not retiring as head of Star Wars at this time, and expressed a lifelong commitment to filmmaking. Nevertheless, she admitted that she has been discussing her successor with her superiors for several years, suggesting that her reign over Star Wars might be nearing its end, even if she remains Lucasfilm President in 2026.
Kennedy made it clear to Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr. that there’s been a misunderstanding regarding her stepping down as the head of Star Wars and Lucasfilm this year. Contrary to rumors, she is not retiring from movies; in fact, she emphasized that she intends to continue working until the end, making films being her ultimate passion. She has had discussions with Disney’s CEO Bob Iger and Co-Chairman Alan Bergman about who might succeed her in the future.
Kennedy declined to reveal which candidate might take over as the head of the Star Wars universe at Lucasfilm. However, she did mention that they have a pool of internal talent ready to manage both the business and creative aspects.
She may reveal her successor within the next few months or a year, as Kathleen Kennedy is currently engaged in the production of The Mandalorian movie and Shawn Levy’s Star Wars film. However, she has indicated that she plans to stay involved even after stepping down, with the aim of helping the new person succeed.
Kathleen Kennedy’s tenure as head of the Star Wars franchise is nearing its conclusion, yet it’s not quite there yet. And even when it does end, she won’t truly be departing, much like how characters in this series never really disappear – they just move on to new adventures.
