Part 2/7:
Following a report from Puck News suggesting that Kennedy was set to retire, her interview has seemingly been a bid to regain control over the narrative. She asserts that she is not retiring from the film industry and plans to continue making movies, yet she acknowledges that a succession plan is in place and suggests she may not be leading Lucasfilm as she once did.
Kennedy's statements included vague assurances that “there's never been any chaos” at Lucasfilm regarding her position. Despite these claims, the reaction from the industry and fanbase suggests otherwise. The past few years have seen consistent questions about her leadership, especially after the mixed-to-negative reception of several high-profile Star Wars projects.
