Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy is reportedly planning to step down by the end of 2025. According to Puck News, the veteran film producer intends to retire at the end of her current contract. Puck also claims Kennedy considered retirement in 2024 but ultimately decided to postpone her decision. While a source close to Kennedy reportedly dismissed Puck's story as "pure speculation" to Variety, The Hollywood Reporter corroborated the report.
Kennedy joined Lucasfilm in 2012 as a co-chair alongside George Lucas, eventually becoming president after Lucas' departure. She has overseen the sequel trilogy (Episodes VII-IX) and the launch of the successful Star Wars streaming series, including The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Andor, Ahsoka, and Skeleton Crew. While some films, like Star Wars: The Force Awakens, were box office triumphs, others, such as Solo: A Star Wars Story, faced less favorable results.
Kennedy's potential departure raises questions about the future of several announced and rumored Star Wars projects, including new films from James Mangold, Taika Waititi, and Donald Glover, as well as the previously announced, but currently developing, Rey film.
Upcoming Star Wars projects include The Mandalorian & Grogu and a new trilogy from Simon Kinberg.
Before her tenure at Lucasfilm, Kennedy co-founded Amblin Entertainment with Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, producing numerous iconic films such as E.T., Jurassic Park, and Back to the Future, earning her eight Academy Award nominations for Best Picture.
