Insider Rumor Claims Kathleen Kennedy Will Stay on as Lucasfilm Head “At Least” Until Q2 2025

by

As a seasoned gamer with decades of Star Wars immersion under my belt, I can confidently say that Kathleen Kennedy‘s tenure at Lucasfilm has been a rollercoaster ride for the fandom. While I respect her resilience and ability to weather storms, I must admit that certain decisions have left many fans, including myself, scratching our heads.

Beyond doubt, one of the most monumental franchises in history is none other than Star Wars. While Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm led to a major overhaul of both canonical and non-canonical works, many fans continue to align with the old categorizations, which offer a broader and more comprehensive scope compared to the current official canon that has been notably trimmed down by Disney. The Star Wars cosmos is an incredibly rich and captivating imaginary realm.

Despite the numerous upheavals and changes at Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy, the company’s president, has managed to maintain her position and continues to oversee the Star Wars franchise with Disney. Regardless of personal opinions about her management style, Kennedy remains a key figure in shaping the future of Star Wars.

Over time, Kennedy’s choices have drawn criticism from many fans, who believe she is responsible for the problems facing the franchise in recent years. Lately, there have been whispers about Kennedy considering retirement, yet it appears she will continue leading Lucasfilm for now.

As a dedicated fan myself, I’m excited to share some exclusive scoop I’ve picked up! The source is none other than Jeff Sneider, a trusted industry insider often referred to as TheInSneider. In his latest post, he hinted that Kathleen Kennedy is expected to continue leading Lucasfilm at least until the second quarter of 2025. This information was also circulated via a reliable fansite. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for more amazing Star Wars stories under her leadership!

According to reports, Kathleen Kennedy is expected to continue serving as the president of Lucasfilm up until at least the second quarter of 2025.

It appears that Kennedy isn’t planning to step down from her post anytime soon, according to unconfirmed reports. Regardless of one’s opinions about Kennedy or any alleged mistakes she might have made, it’s important to remember that she is not solely responsible for recent failures and there’s no justification for hating her based on this alone. Here are some reactions from fans regarding the rumor:

People are fed up with the persistent push that “The Force” is feminine. It’s become overbearing, and it’s time for it to stop. The excessive portrayal of powerful female characters in Star Wars is overwhelming and seems more like a joke than an integral part of the franchise.

In a more straightforward manner: It’s unusual for someone to be disliked by tech-savvy individuals, but this woman has managed to achieve that feat and even received an award. I find myself giving her credit despite the widespread disdain she seems to elicit. (lol added for humor)

I am not part of the “Disney is too woke” crow but. I agree she has to go.
Most of the projects under her have been cancelled or flop, all except Dave Filoni pet protects (and I think he should go too, I do not care about the rebels stuff).
