Kathleen Kennedy Just Dropped a Jaw-Dropping Lucasfilm Bombshell: ‘Retirement? Not a Chance!’ – Here’s EXACTLY What’s Coming to Star Wars Next

Hold onto your lightsabers, Star Wars fans—Kathleen Kennedy isn’t going anywhere! In a fiery new interview, the Lucasfilm president just shattered retirement rumors and unveiled her epic roadmap to keep the galaxy far, far away exploding with new films, surprises, and maybe even a few familiar faces.

“Why Would I Walk Away Now? We’re Just Getting Started!”
Kennedy, who’s steered the Star Wars ship since 2012, laughed off speculation that she’s eyeing the exit. “This isn’t just a job—it’s a legacy,” she said. “We’ve got stories to tell that’ll span decades, and I plan to be here to see them through.” Insiders hint she’s locked in for at least five more years, with Disney fully backing her vision.

So, What’s Next? The BIG Projects Revealed!
Kennedy spilled details on three HUGE films that’ll dominate the next era of Star Wars:

1. Rey’s New Jedi Order: Daisy Ridley returns as Rey Skywalker in a post-Rise of Skywalker saga directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Kennedy teased, “This is about rebuilding hope… and facing threats older than the Sith.”
2. Dawn of the Jedi: Set 25,000 years before the Skywalkers, this film (from Logan’s James Mangold) explores the Force’s origins. “It’s raw, mystical, and unlike anything we’ve done,” Kennedy hinted.
3. The Mandoverse Epic: Dave Filoni’s hotly anticipated movie will tie together The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and more into one explosive event. “Think Avengers meets Star Wars,” a source revealed.

But Wait—There’s More!
Kennedy confirmed Lucasfilm is mining older legends (remember Knights of the Old Republic?) for fresh ideas and doubling down on diversity: “Our galaxy has endless voices. You’ll see them onscreen.” She also slyly hinted at “reunions you’ve begged for,” leaving fans scrambling to guess: Could Mark Hamill or Hayden Christensen return?

Why Fans Should Be Hyped
With Kennedy staying put, her strategy is clear: Honor the past (hello, Grogu merch!) while taking bold risks. “Not every story will be safe,” she admitted. “But Star Wars has always been about pushing boundaries.”

The Bottom Line
Love her or debate her, Kennedy’s staying in the pilot’s seat—and her plans could redefine Star Wars for a new generation. Buckle up, nerfherders. The galaxy’s about to get wilder than a wampa on caffeine.
