"Depressingly, Kennedy seems to be excited about AI and wants to work with the tech to make new stuff. She also told the outlet that she's been planning this exit for a few years now and hand-picked her successors, Clone Wars creator Dave Filoni and veteran ILM manager Lynwen Brennan. And while she'll still be around producing future Star Wars movies, including Ryan Gosling's Starfighter and the upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu flick, it's clear from this interview that Kennedy was tired of Disney not wanting to take more risks on projects like Andor."
"[James] Mangold's is really on the back burner, as is Soderbergh's [Ben Solo film]," Kennedy told the outlet. "I think the ones by Taika and Donald [Glover] are still somewhat alive. That's going to really be up to the new team to figure out. Dave, I know that Dave [Filoni] and Lynwen [Brennan] are very much on board with what Simon [Kinnberg]'s doing, and that would be a new trilogy. In the timeline of things, that takes you well into 2030 plus. So that's really what's up next."
Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down as Lucasfilm president after serving since George Lucas left following the Disney deal in 2012. She planned this exit for several years and selected Clone Wars creator Dave Filoni and ILM manager Lynwen Brennan as her successors. She will continue producing future Star Wars films, including Ryan Gosling's Starfighter and an upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu movie. Simon Kinberg's proposed new trilogy remains active toward a 2030-plus timeline, while James Mangold's and Steven Soderbergh's Ben Solo films are on the back burner. Kennedy is enthusiastic about using AI and has expressed regret about one past Star Wars project. She grew frustrated with Disney's reluctance to take risks on projects like Andor.
