Reports suggest Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy may step down by the end of 2025. Puck News reports her planned retirement coincides with the end of her current contract. While Puck claims she considered retiring in 2024 but delayed the decision, a source close to Kennedy reportedly dismissed the report as "pure speculation" to Variety. However, The Hollywood Reporter corroborated Puck's reporting.
Kennedy joined Lucasfilm in 2012, initially as co-chair alongside George Lucas, before becoming president upon his departure. Her leadership oversaw the sequel trilogy (Episodes VII-IX) and the launch of the Star Wars streaming universe, encompassing shows like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Andor, Ahsoka, and Skeleton Crew. While some projects, such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, achieved massive success, others, like Solo: A Star Wars Story, faced financial setbacks.

Kennedy's potential departure raises questions about the future of several announced and rumored Star Wars projects, including films from James Mangold, Taika Waititi, and Donald Glover, as well as the previously announced, but currently delayed, Rey film.
Upcoming Star Wars initiatives include The Mandalorian & Grogu and a new trilogy from Simon Kinberg.
Before Lucasfilm, Kennedy co-founded Amblin Entertainment with Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, producing numerous iconic films, including E.T., Jurassic Park, and Back to the Future. Her contributions have garnered eight Academy Award nominations for Best Picture.
