Lucasfilm “probably” to replace Kathleen Kennedy in Lucasfilm with Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck

It seems that great changes are preparing for Lucasfilm. According to a new reproduction of The Hollywood Reporter of Mutable Power Dynamics to Disney, Kathleen KennedyTime as president of Lucasfilm is running out and the study could be directed in a new, but familiar, direction.

The names that are floated by “probable” replace it are Dave Filoni AND Carrie Beck. Filoni is currently Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm and also produces several TV and cinematographic projects of Star Wars. The Note report:

“Current thought is a scenario in which the Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni and the chief of production Carrie Beck-entrusted Veterinary Entrambo of Lucasfilm-Assumi Co-Testa roles. Also as an arm of Disney, Lucasfilm remains, in many ways, a family business and like George Lucas Protégé Filoni Long was considered a golden boy”.

Filoni’s ascent is not a surprise for anyone who has followed Star Wars From The clone wars. His creative connection with George Lucas and the way he carried on that legacy Rebel, The MandalorianAND Ahsoka He gained a faithful sequel, and he is their boyfriend.

However, not everyone in the room are sold. The same piece Thr offers this comment:

“But the knocking against him is that it could be too immersed in the Star Wars tradition and risks leading a show in a dense mythology that loses a wider audience.” He is not the boy Andor, he is the boy Ahsoka, “says a Disney work officer.

“Beck, who joined the company in 2012, knows the details, but neither her nor strands have a lot of cinema experience, which could be mitigated by the continuous presence of Kennedy as a producer on some Star Wars projects, guaranteeing short -term quality control.”

This is a right point. While Filoni thrives in the space of the animated and live-action series, Star Wars Lately he has not had a fluid race on the big screen, and neither he nor Beck have a lot of experience in guiding theatrical versions.

It is here that Kennedy can linger for a while longer, potentially staying to produce key projects and keep consistency while passing.

However, online fans are already drawing battle lines. For many, the idea of ​​a “Lucas’s boyfriend” who lives and breathes Star Wars Mythology is exactly what Lucasfilm needs. After all, the most frustrating part of the modern era of the franchise was often its irregular understanding of what it does Star Wars feel Star Wars.

Nevertheless … Andor exists. It is a perfect example of what Star Wars It may be when it comes out of the mythological comfort area, when it slows down, digs in real human struggles and reinvents the distant galaxy, far from the stakes.

So here we are, to a crossroads. Lucasfilm seems to be preparing to pass the laser sword to two trusted veterans who built their reputation inside the galaxy. The next era of Star Wars It is about to begin and even if Filoni is not taking the command, as CCO continues, the franchise will have the fingerprints of strands everywhere.
