The Star Wars rumor mill is churning right now and this latest one is pretty big. We have to caution right off the bat that this isn't coming from any official sources, so it should be taken with a massive grain of salt. That said, there are rumors emerging that Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy may be stepping down in September. If there is any validity to this at all, it would represent a major shift not just for Kennedy, but for one of the biggest franchises on the planet. This particular rumor comes to us from a subscription newsletter called The Ankler. A subscription costs $45 a year, but the folks at fan site Dork Side of the Force recently shared a supposed excerpt from the newsletter which claims that Kathleen Kennedy's days are numbered and that she will be out in just a matter of months. The excerpt reads as follows. "While Kathleen Kennedy worked wonders relaunching this property from the abyss of the Lucas prequel trilogy and turning it into a bigger than ever all-devouring cultural force, there has to be more than some thought that it's time for new blood at the helm. The talk out there is of a September changing of the guards. We'll see." This rumor comes on the heels of the failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story, which has been underperforming at the box office and could lose as much as $80 million for the studio. Not only that, but many fans have been unhappy with the direction of the new movies. The divisive nature of The Last Jedi has been no secret and it has turned certain chunks of the Star Wars fandom into a toxic and ugly thing. It's in no way fair to pin all of what has been going wrong with the franchise and its fans on Kennedy, but she is the one in charge. Certain fans have called for a changing of the guard and want to see someone other than Kathleen Kennedy steering the ship at Lucasfilm. While the Star Wars franchise was successfully relaunched under her watch and the four movies released since Disney purchased Lucasfilm have grossed north of $4.5 billion at the box office, there have been issues. Namely, Josh Trank (Boba Fett), Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Solo) and Colin Trevorrow (Star Wars 9) have all been hired and fired on her watch. Kennedy has clearly had issues communicating with directors. The Last Jedi sailed smoothly under Rian Johnson, but that wound up being the most divisive movie in the new batch so far... Also, it's not just this site. If you google "Kathleen Kennedy," there are lots of stories coming up about Kathleen Kennedy reportedly about to leave Lucasfilm/Star Wars. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Tfa was too safe Rogue One was pointless and the characters sucked TLJ was too divisive Solo was a movie nobody asked for. These movies will never be highly praised and accepted by the fan base.

I don't envy the poor sap that takes that job. I actually liked TFA. Yes, it played it safe and basically followed the New Hope formula, but a return to normal is what we needed after the prequels. However, TLJ was a massive "Fuck You" to the fans. I also liked Rogue One, but not as much as TFA except for the last 10 minutes or so. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm no fan of the newer movies, but I never saw why people had such hate for her. Yeah SJW stuff is kinda obnoxious, but it's not that bad in SW.
Besides, SW will still be a property pimped out and used by Disney regardless. This doesn't change much. Don't see why it's such a huge potential victory. --- https://imgur.com/hslUvRN When I sin I sin real good. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dont know what to think about her. The whole anti-sjw thing is ridiculous, but she also hasnt done a lot with the ludicrously popular ip that people are happy about. Solo is far better than I ever thought it would be, but it lost money. TLJ alienated a ton of people for reasons beyond fucking with the lore. Thems firing grounds.

TLJ didnt fuck with the lore in any way TLJ says that Reys power in the light side of the Force grows as Rens power in the dark side grows. How does this make sense? Nothing like this has been established. Why didnt Lukes power ever rival Palpatine? Also Ren has been trained in both light and dark sides of the Force for years, yet hes lost twice to Rey who just learned (no training) about Force two weeks ago. Are we supposed to believe that Ren just sucks? TLJ novel made up an ability just for Rey. She has the ability to prob peoples minds and steal skills and experience to bolster her own. --- You enjoy teaching high schoolers, and I'll enjoy creating my crappy manga.

TLJ says that Reys power in the light side of the Force grows as Rens power in the dark side grows "The Force seeks balance" is hardly a new concept in the lore. Regardless I took Snokes "Darkness rises and the light to meet it" non-literally ViewtifulGrave posted... yet hes lost twice to Rey They only fought once And its explained in this film that he was unbalanced and distracted at the end of Episode 7. Snoke chastised him for this. ViewtifulGrave posted... TLJ novel made up an ability just for Rey. She has the ability to prob peoples minds and steal skills and experience to bolster her own.
