The release of Indiana Jones 5 has left Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy facing some heat, with rumors swirling that she has been given the boot from her position.
This isn’t the first time Kennedy has been in the hot seat, though. Remember the Star Wars sequel trilogy? Yep, she found herself in the spotlight back then too. And let’s not forget the endless YouTube videos and social media posts speculating about her fate at the company. It’s safe to say she’s no stranger to fan backlash.
The latest rumor mill started churning thanks to a tweet from a user named @Thwipt_, who has a mixed track record when it comes to Disney leaks.
Well, despite all the buzz, Kennedy is still working at Lucasfilm, and the company itself has not made any official announcement about her supposed firing.
From producing new Star Wars trilogies to standalone films like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story, Kennedy has been a driving force behind many of Lucasfilm’s projects. Sure, some have been massive hits, like Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but let’s face it, the fans’ reception to most of the new stuff has been mixed at best.
So, while rumours continue to swirl and fans debate Kennedy’s fate, one thing remains clear: she’s still the president of Lucasfilm.
Love her or hate her, she’s been a key figure in shaping the Star Wars universe and bringing iconic characters like Indiana Jones back to the big screen.
