Kathleen Kennedy reportedly renews her contract with Lucasfilm through 2024. When Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, George Lucas handpicked Kennedy to be the studio's new president, entrusting his old colleague to oversee a new wave of Star Wars and Indiana Jones projects. Nearly a decade later, a slate of five Star Wars movies have been released, a plethora of Star Wars TV shows are coming through the pipeline, and Indiana Jones 5 is currently filming ahead of its 2023 release date. While there is a lot for viewers to look forward to, Kennedy's tenure has proven to be divisive amongst audiences for a variety of reasons.

In Matthew Beloni's newsletter for Puck (hat tip Star Wars News Net),

it's mentioned Kennedy's deal with Lucasfilm has been extended, keeping her in place as president until at least 2024.

"Kennedy has a lot of good things happening at Lucasfilm, and I’m told she recently re-upped her deal for another three years.”
