Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm since Disney's acquisition of Star Wars in 2012, is reportedly stepping down, marking a pivotal shift for the franchise. During her tenure, Kennedy orchestrated major releases including the sequel trilogy and various Disney+ series. However, fan dissatisfaction has persisted, with critiques about a lack of clear direction. The franchise struggled with some box office failures and numerous projects being canceled due to creative differences. Her exit follows disappointment in other properties like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, further complicating her legacy within the company.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy is reportedly planning to step down at the end of the year, a seismic move with long-term implications for the future of the film and television franchise.
