Re: TAN News: Kathleen Kennedy To (Finally!) "Retire"(?) by End of 2025

The news just gets worse. Even *if* she is quitting the Lucasfilm top job (so far officially denied), she will apparently still continue to interfere in the Star Wars franchise!!   :-(
    Kathleen Kennedy Likely to Produce Star Wars Movie
    Even After Lucasfilm Exit
    --------------------------------------------------
    More information about Kathleen Kennedy's reported exit from
    Lucasfilm has come to light, with The InSneider's Jeff Sneider
    noting that Kennedy will likely still be attached to the world
    of Star Wars in some capacity.
    What do we know about Kathleen Kennedy's Lucasfilm exit?
    Sneider's latest report notes that, even when Kennedy steps
    down from her role at Lucasfilm, the legendary Hollywood
    producer will still be "producing projects within the Star
    Wars universe for years to come." Sneider notes past moves
    like Amy Pascal leaving Sony and still being a credited
    producer on the Tom Holland Spider-Man films as precedent.
    The report also mentions that Kennedy will likely end up being
    listed as a producer on the planned Star Wars movie from Shawn
    Levy, as well as Simon Kinberg's planned trilogy.
    Earlier this week, Puck News' Matthew Belloni reported that
    Kennedy, who has been the president of Disney's Lucasfilm since
    2012, was planning to vacate her position by the end of the
    year.
    An unnamed source told Belloni, "Kathy [Kathleen] was actually
    planning to leave last year, I'm told, and had even set up an
    exit interview with a journalist, but she decided to stay for
    one more year."
    Under Kennedy's leadership, Lucasfilm released a new Star Wars 
    movie every year from 2015, including 2015's The Force Awakens,
    2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, 2017's The Last Jedi,
    2018's Solo: A Star Wars Story, and 2019's The Rise of
    Skywalker.
    While there hasn't been a new Star Wars movie in some time -
    the next one being 2026's The Mandalorian & Grogu - there have
    also been a number of Star Wars television series that have been
    released while Kennedy has been in charge, such as
    The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka, Andor, and The Book of
    Boba Fett, among other titles.
