Kathleen Kennedy finally steps down

Kathleen Kennedy will end her 14-year run at Lucasfilm. She will be replaced by not one, but two executives when she leaves the Walt Disney Company this year. Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni and President and General Manager Lynwen Brennan will both lead the company behind “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” as it looks to recapture its stride. Filoni’s elevation had been widely expected, but Brennan’s promotion is something of a surprise. It suggests that Disney felt the need to pair a strong filmmaking force with someone with a firm sense of budgets and balance sheets.
