Kathleen Kennedy, the long-time head of Lucasfilm, is set to step down from her position by the end of the year, according to reports. The 13-year tenure at George Lucas-founded studio saw a mix of success and controversy, including criticism over spin-off series like The Acolyte. Notably, Elon Musk had publicly criticized Kennedy last year, calling her “more deadly than the Death Star” in response to backlash from The Acolyte. Kennedy’s departure comes after tumultuous periods under her leadership, including high-profile firings and dramatic production overhauls. As she exits Lucasfilm, Kennedy will leave behind a legacy that includes the highly successful 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
