Star Wars reshapes leadership as Kennedy exits Lucasfilm, Filoni takes the helm

Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down after 13 years at Lucasfilm, with Dave Filoni set to become president and chief creative officer (co-led by Lynwen Brennan) and report to Disney’s Alan Bergman. The move caps a tenure that yielded streaming hits like The Mandalorian and Andor and the film Rogue One while facing fan frustration over some big-screen projects, and signals Disney's plan to push Star Wars forward with upcoming projects such as Star Wars: Starfighter.
