Brennan is the current president and general manager of Lucasfilm Business.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy\u2019s exit has been rumoured for more than a year now, but has never resulted in anything concrete \u2013 some of those outlets have even had to walk back those previous reports publicly.  It\u2019s at the point now no-one is quite sure it\u2019ll happen until an actual press release hits the official site.<\/p>\n<p>If she is exiting, it follows over a decade of her leading Lucasfilm, with her publicist reportedly preparing a \u2018farewell tour\u2019 for the media.  Kennedy\u2019s tenure has been marked by highs such as the acclaimed \u201cAndor,\u201d \u201cRogue One,\u201d \u201cThe Mandalorian,\u201d box-office film successes like \u201cThe Force Awakens\u201d and \u201cThe Last Jedi,\u201d and games like \u201cStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It has also been marred by lows, including multiple abandoned projects, the rough production and subsequent box-office flame out of \u201cSolo,\u201d a fandom far more divided and negative than it has ever been, and mixed and\/or divided reception to various TV efforts such as \u201cThe Acolyte,\u201d \u201cObi-Wan Kenobi\u201d and \u201cAhsoka\u201d along with the soft reception to \u201cIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan are reportedly set to replace Kathleen Kennedy as the new co-presidents of Lucasfilm&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270426,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[97273,18,117,19,17,327],"class_list":{"0":"post-270425","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bigslider","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-movies"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115848680748081513","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270425\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
