The media reported Caitlin Kennedy's departure from the post of head of Lucasfilm at the end of 2025

According to data Media, the current head of the studio Lucasfilm Caitlin Kennedy will leave her post at the end of 2025, but who will replace her is unknown.

Kennedy herself took over the studio after it was purchased by Disney when company founder George Lucas retired. Since then, under Kennedy's leadership, the Star Wars trilogy has seen the light of day, The Mandalorian and other TV shows have appeared, and new animated works from this world have been released.

True, Kennedy's department was heavily criticized by fans for questionable creative decisions in those same sequels - especially "The Last Jedi" and "The Rise of Skywalker."

In addition, many criticized the overall development of the franchise. Fans of the series have long suggested replacing Kennedy with the writers of The Mandalorian -Jon FavreauandDave Filoni. True, after the release of the third season of The Mandalorian, such proposals also died down.

During Kennedy's time at Star Wars, numerous projects were announced that never saw the light of day, including the Game of Thrones trilogy and Episode 8 director Ryan Johnson.

The new film about Rey (Daisy Ridley), which takes place after the ninth episode, is also “stuck in limbo.”

Kennedy also suffered greatly for the fifth part of Indiana Jones, which failed at the box office and received a huge amount of negativity from Indy fans. Later, many noted that the real continuation of the archaeologist’s adventures was not the film, but Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

At the same time, Kennedy herself began working in the industry a very long time ago; she initially collaborated with Steven Spielberg on the first part of the same “Jones.”
