Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan Eyed to Replace Kathleen Kennedy at Lucasfilm
Last updated
2 hours ago

Puck News reports that Dave Filoni, the fan-favorite chief creative officer behind The Mandalorian and Ahsoka, would oversee all film, TV, and project development as co-president. Lynwen Brennan, a veteran executive promoted from her role managing ILM and operations, would handle business duties alongside him. Kathleen Kennedy, who has guided the franchise since 2012 through sequels, spin-offs, and Disney+ series, faces an unconfirmed leadership change expected to be announced soon, amid mixed fan reactions from excitement to cautious takes.

That rumor has been out there for half a decade. No one believes it will happen until it actually does

Don’t care. Either way. They are just kicking something that died a long time ago.


Problem is it’s been dead so long and smells so bad there is no possibility of resuscitation anymore. The parts have rotted.

Like replacing a flat tire with the wrong size tire.

Jeremy is right. Both of these people are hand picked and are perfectly in line with what KK wants Star Wars to be. The suck will continue indefinitely.

Lynwen? WTF even is that?

George Lucas singlehandedly killed Star Wars when he sold the rights to Disney in 2012. I’d say that’s when Star Wars actually died.

IMO, Star Wars officially died at the end of RotJ, when George divorced his wife. She helped him from making some really stupid decisions that would have tanked the franchise before it had taken off.

Oh well.

And made KK president right before doing so. Remember, it was him that did that.

Actually Star Wars died when Lucas ran off Kurtz.

Franchise went way down after that and then Disney killed the rest

The only one that cared about doing something old school Star Wars was Favreau. Then Filoni turned The Mandalorian as a means to bring characters he can’t let go to live action and ruining The Mandalorian in the process.

Filoni sucks

Can't wait for another decade that includes a second Rey trilogy, 3 more seasons of Ahsoka, and several other shitty spinoffs.

Y’all are saying the franchise that includes a lost twin sister-brother love triangle that was completely accidental was ruined by Disney.

That tracks.

I have zero desire to see it, but the Madolorian movie will probably make a billion dollars. Tigerdroppings dead is different from real life dead.
