As per a recent report, it seems that Disney is already considering potential replacements for the highly respected producer, Kathleen Kennedy, who currently oversees the Star Wars franchise.
Who is set to take over Star Wars after Kathleen Kennedy?
As per a recent report by THR on the current situation in Hollywood and potential succession plans, Lucasfilm is mentioned. Although speculation suggests external assistance might be sought after Kennedy’s retirement, the article indicates that Disney may prefer an internal promotion. The individuals being considered to jointly lead the franchise are Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck.
At present, Filoni holds the position of Chief Creative Officer at Lucasfilm, a role that doesn’t make him new to the Star Wars realm. He has previously collaborated with George Lucas in directing the highly praised animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars following his recruitment. Now, he is deeply embedded in the universe and has produced the Disney+ series Ahsoka, Star Wars Resistance, Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Tales of the Jedi, and more.

At present, Beck holds the position of Vice President for Animation and Live-Action Development at Lucasfilm. Additionally, she was jointly responsible for creating Star Wars Rebels. Throughout recent years, both Beck and Filoni have taken on producer and executive producer roles in numerous Star Wars ventures.
According to the THR report, there are several reservations regarding the idea of entrusting Filoni and Beck with the project. Primarily, critics worry that Filoni might make the series too complex and steeped in mythology. Additionally, it’s noted that neither of them have any background in filmmaking.
Currently, I’m still steering the starship of Star Wars, and despite whispers about me leaving or retiring that have been around for quite some time, the producer recently confirmed there’s no imminent plan for me to step aside. However, it seems Disney is already readying themselves for when I eventually decide to move on.
