Kathleen Kennedy Steps Down as Lucasfilm President After 13 Years at Helm
After over a decade leading Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy has officially stepped down as President of the company, marking the end of a major era for the Star Wars franchise. Kennedy, who helped guide Lucasfilm through its Disney acquisition and oversaw the development of major films and Disney+ series like *The Mandalorian*, *Andor*, and *The Rise of Skywalker*, is stepping into a producer-only role. She will continue working on projects like *The Mandalorian & Grogu* and *Star Wars: Starfighter*. The studio’s creative leadership now shifts to Dave Filoni, a fan-favorite behind *The Clone Wars*, *Ahsoka*, and more, who will serve as President and Chief Creative Officer. Lucasfilm also announced Lynwen Brennan as Co-President. While some fans are celebrating the change, others credit Kennedy with pushing boundaries and building out the Star Wars universe in bold ways.
