As she steps down after 14 years as Lucasfilm president, Kathleen Kennedy shared key updates on several upcoming Star Wars movies in an exit interview. She highlighted progress on projects from directors like Simon Kinberg and Taika Waititi, while noting some are on hold. Kennedy's departure paves the way for co-presidents Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan to lead the franchise forward.
Mark Hamill, the actor who portrayed Luke Skywalker, has expressed strong support for Dave Filoni as the new head of Star Wars storytelling at Lucasfilm. In comments to USA Today, Hamill said he cannot think of better hands for the franchise than Filoni's. This endorsement comes after Kathleen Kennedy stepped down as president in January.
