   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.
