This news is coming from some LUCASFILM PR releases..
Lucasfilm announced that after 14 years of leading the studio, President Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down from her role. Kennedy will return to full-time producing, including the studio’s upcoming feature films The Mandalorian and Grogu and Star Wars: Starfighter.
So gone.. but not totally..
Dave Filoni, who worked closely with creator George Lucas to build the Lucasfilm animation department on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and helped launch Star Wars live-action series alongside Jon Favreau on The Mandalorian, will take on creative leadership of the company as President and Chief Creative Officer and Lynwen Brennan will serve as Co-President.
While she is not being trashed by Lucasfilm on the way out, fans are certainly pointing out her biggest flops..
This summation from detractors on social media:
– Over a dozen high profile canceled projects
A Star Wars Trilogy that damaged the brand
Indiana Jones 5 was seemingly meaningless
An inability to get anything made; even simple slam dunk projects like Rogue Squadron
The Willow Series was a complete disaster and there’s no way to legally watch it anymore Outside of Rogue One and Andor..
Another reaction: Finally, the long nightmare ends. Kathleen Kennedy is out as Lucasfilm president after 14 years of turning Star Wars into a lecture hall disguised as space opera.
