Kathleen Kennedy retiring this year

[Khev]

Plus whoever they replace her with will probably just be some male feminist who wants to "honor what Kathleen has done."

Is that called Quiet Quitting?

Or a new one.... Slow Quitting.

Not Quite Quitting...

Yeaaaaa I don’t think she’s going anywhere but if she does I feel like the damage is super big to repair.

Possibly. I know I haven't really watched anything SW related that's been put out since Rise of Skywalker. I tried The Acolyte and couldn't make it thru it. No desire to watch anything else. Although I have heard good things about Andor.

Lol, not once in that interview does she deny that she will be leaving Lucasfilm in the coming months/year and that they are already working on a transition plan for a new president. They probably were going to announce it as a whole big thing at Celebration and they are all pissed that the news got leaked. Whole interview reads like an NCAA coach who’s about to be hired by another school and they are out there in post-game press conferences just giving total non-answers about the situation instead of simply and concisely saying that they aren’t leaving. But the reality is that her contract was already up for renewal again and there has been crickets. The previous renewals were already announced by this time of year.

Yeah, I love the "I'm not going anywhere" followed by "we're simply discussing who would replace me"...

She’s “not going anywhere” as in simply not planning to die anytime soon lol.

I wish she would focus on Arachnophobia 2.

Yep, old KK will just be swapped with Filoni the hack.

Even if that were to happen…

Clinging to the job and “looking for a successor.” Sounds like the Titanic getting a rescue call from the Death Star.

Low expectations this ship is going to suddenly start heading for True North.

Not optimistic with DIS, the “Successor” or Ms. Kennedy letting go.

I was thinking the same... also these days, who knows if the whole idea was floated to gauge public reaction .....
