There might be a great disturbance in the Force, as a new report claims that Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy will retire later this year. The executive has overseen the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises since Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012.Puck reported that Kennedy has let Disney and friends know about her plans to step down from Lucasfilm. However, while Variety corroborated Puck, the trade publication added that one of its sources said nothing has been finalized as of yet. Kennedy was in charge of bringing Star Wars back to the silver screen with the sequel trilogy, which started with The Force Awakens in 2015 and ended with The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. She also expanded the franchise with non-Skywalker Saga films like Rogue One and Solo: A Star Wars Story--let alone the multiple Disney+ shows. One area that Kennedy seemed to stay hands-off was video games. For instance, her official description on the Lucasfilm website as president doesn't note any involvement in games released over the past decade-plus (though her name does appear in credits, such as in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor). Shortly after Kennedy became Lucasfilm president, Disney and EA announced a Star Wars partnership in 2013 for console games. That agreement led to the creation of 2015's Star Wars Battlefront and 2017's Star Wars Battlefront II, with Disney calling EA a "good" partner in 2019. The two Battlefront games combined to sell 33 million copies as of late 2019. Additionally, in 2014 before those games were released, Lucasfilm stated that all games would be considered official Star Wars canon going forward.Continue Reading at GameSpot
