Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy Expected To Retire By The End Of 2025

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, who has overseen Star Wars since 2012, is preparing to step down from her position by the end of 2025.

At 71, she stands as one of Hollywood’s most accomplished producers, with a career spanning collaborations with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas long before taking the Lucasfilm presidency. This timeline would allow a successor to shepherd the franchise’s theatrical return while Kennedy departs after completing projects like the second season of the critically acclaimed Disney Plus series Andor. Dave Filoni, who rose from animation to become a key creative force across Lucasfilm projects, has emerged as a potential candidate with strong fan support.
