Kevin Feige and Dave Filoni are reportedly among the names in the running to replace Star Wars boss Kathleen Kennedy for Lucasfilm top job
Kathleen Kennedy is retiring after 13 years

After news broke that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm president 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kathleen Kennedy is planning to 📖retire by the end of 2025, talk has ✃naturally turned to who her suc👍cessor should be.
"One reason Kathy stuck around for so long is because there is no credible alternative," a source told . Kennedy has been in the post since 2012 after being handpicked by George Lucas and oversaw the launch of the sequel movie trilogy, as well as the expansion of the franchise into 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus TV shows.
However, "what people don’t understand is that it’s not a creative job," a producer with ties to the franchise added. "That’s about 10 percent. The rest of it is dealing with Disney, licensing, and fans."
A few names are reportedly being floated around, though, including Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and Kevin Feige. Favreau is the brains behind The Mandalorian and also directed the first two Iron Man movies for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios, but "he won’t 🌌want to be an executive," a source predicted.
Another source says Filoni, who's currently Lucasfilm's chief creative officer, is Disney's top cho꧑ice for the job, but someone else told the publication that "he’s a great resource of knowledge, but he’s ultimately a TV guy. He’ll be killed by all sides."
Many insiders reportedly think Marvel Studios boss Feige is the best person for the job, but he's already pretty preoccupied with the MCU. "He’s the only on𒆙e that makes sense, but 🐭he needs to focus on Marvel," another Disney source told THR.
Next up on the big screen from the galaxy far, far away is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian & Grogu, which will see Jeremy Allen White and Sigourney Weaver join the franchise and arrives in theaters on May 22, 2026.
