Kathleen Kennedy's Lucasfilm Deal Extended for Three Years (Exclusive) | (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-chief-kathleen-kennedys-lucasfilm-deal-extended-three-years-1147653)

THR reports that Kathy Kennedy will remain as Lucas Film president for 3 more years.
Considering this scoop is coming from THR, this is almost a certain.

What are people's takes on this news?
Is this a good or bad thing in regards to the future of SW?

Fine by me.
Have you seen the list of movies she’s worked on over the years?
It’s like checking boxes of my whole childhood all the way to middle age now.

I don’t love every scrap of Star Wars content, ( Rebels and TLJ were meh for me) but I say let them do what they do.

I totally agree with your sentiment; she's a great producer:)

That said, under her management, things like the Rebels and Solo came out, which were divisive at best.
And not to mention a slew of directors being fired by her  :huh:

Three years is a small amount of time. Maybe after that it will pass to the Game of Thrones guys, Jon Faverau or Filoni. I don’t think KK has had a grasp on this franchise. The fact that they didn’t have an outline for Ep. 7-9 or didn’t stick to an outline just shows it’s quite a mess. This is not how you do a trilogy... especially THIS trilogy.
