Rumors are swirling that Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy may be gearing up to step down by the end of 2025. According to Puck News, the seasoned film producer and head of Lucasfilm is contemplating retirement at the conclusion of her contract this year. It’s reported that Kennedy had previously considered retiring in 2024, but chose to delay her decision. However, a source close to Kennedy told Variety that Puck’s story is "pure speculation," while The Hollywood Reporter has corroborated Puck's claims.
Kennedy joined Lucasfilm back in 2012, initially serving as co-chair alongside George Lucas before stepping into the role of president following Lucas' departure. Under her leadership, she has overseen the creation of the sequel trilogy, including Star Wars Episodes 7-9, and ushered in the streaming era with shows like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Andor, Ahsoka, Skeleton Key, and more. While some projects like "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" have been blockbuster successes, others such as "Solo: A Star Wars Story" faced challenges at the box office.

Should Kennedy's departure come to pass, it could impact several announced and rumored projects, including new films from directors James Mangold, Taika Waititi, and Donald Glover. There's also an untitled Rey movie that has been announced but is taking its time to fully come to fruition. The upcoming slate of Star Wars projects includes "The Mandalorian & Grogu," and a new trilogy spearheaded by Simon Kinberg.
Before her tenure at Lucasfilm, Kennedy co-founded Amblin Entertainment with Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall. She has produced iconic films like E.T., Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, and other classics from the 90s, earning her eight Academy Award nominations for Best Picture.
