There are rumors suggesting that the initial reports about Kathleen Kennedy‘s departure from Star Wars and Lucasfilm by the end of 2025 might not be accurate.
What’s now said about Kennedy?
It appears that a report from CNN suggests that rumors about Kathleen Kennedy retiring at the end of her contract might be premature.
According to a source well-versed in the subject, they informed CNN that it’s not accurate as currently, there is nothing of significance on the site.
Kennedy, Disney, and Lucasfilm have yet to officially comment.
According to CNN, any announcement they might make will only be revealed once the final decisions have been solidified and made available for public knowledge.
Variety says more of the same
According to a separate source familiar with Kennedy, the initial report by Puck was considered as merely speculative, and no final decisions have been made. (Variety’s report also mentioned this)
Damage control
According to recent reports, it’s anticipated that the formal declaration will be made during Star Wars Celebration in April. If the rumors of Kathleen Kennedy’s retirement are true, it seems the information may have been prematurely disclosed, and now they appear to be managing the fallout – Kennedy, Disney, and Lucasfilm are working to contain any potential damage.
In contrast, it appears that every couple of months, there’s a fresh rumor circulating about Kennedy leaving Disney and Lucasfilm. It has been suggested that Kennedy was planning to retire last year, but she chose to continue her work and fulfill her contract which is set to expire in 2025.
Lines up with Bob Iger’s exit as Disney may be righting its path
Previously mentioned, the possibility of Kennedy stepping down coincides with Bob Iger’s exit from Disney in 2026. It seems likely that Disney might be under new leadership by then and could shift its focus. Already, it appears that Marvel is making changes to reflect this potential transition.
