Lucasfilm Officially Has New Leadership

As rumors for the last six or so months, it is now official. Kathleen Kennedy is no longer president of Lucasfilm. The long time producer was placed in charge of the company after Disney acquired it back in 2012 where she oversaw the relaunch of the franchise to theaters and TV with various levels of success. She will continue to work in the Star Wars universe as producer on current and probably future Star Wars films so to a small degree her previous subordinates will become her bosses. Those new bosses are Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan as co-presidents of Lucasfilm. 

Filoni will also keep his role as Chief Creative Officer. Filoni began working on Star Wars after directing 8 episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender. He began work at Lucasfilm in 2005 and from there helped create the animation side of the company with Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Rebels and more. He then helped launch live action Star Wars TV with The Mandalorian and Ahsoka and now moving into the movie side where he wrote and directed Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu which hits theaters on May 22, 2026.

Lynwen Brennan was vice-president of Lucasfilm, starting in ILM in 1999, rising through the ranks over the years to General Manager of Lucasfilm in 2015 which is more or less an executive vice president role. Her role in the new company is to handle all the business side work that it takes to manage a company so Filoni is free to work on the creative side.
