Kathleen Kennedy doesn’t think the future of Star Wars lies in honoring its past.
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy is once again under fire from longtime Star Wars fans—this time for new comments she made while promoting a rare theatrical screening of the original 1977 Star Wars at the BFI Film on Film Festival in London. The showing featured the original cut of the film, famously unavailable on modern home media.

However, fans quickly noticed something strange: Vader wasn’t just spouting pre-written lines. He was responding to them.
Lucasfilm may still be waving the James Mangold flag when it comes to his announced Star Wars movie Dawn of the Jedi, but a closer look at the director’s recent moves reveals a very different story. While Disney continues to promote the origin-of-the-Force film as a pillar of the franchise’s future, Mangold appears to be everywhere except a galaxy far, far away.
The quiet feud inside Lucasfilm may not be so quiet anymore. Following a recent podcast that exposed Dave Filoni’s alleged gatekeeping of the Star Wars franchise, Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy is making it clear—he’s not playing by Filoni’s rules. In fact, he’s rewriting them.
A bombshell allegation is making the rounds in the entertainment world—one that might finally explain the creative logjam at Lucasfilm. According to a new report, Dave Filoni could be gatekeeping Star Wars, rejecting pitches that don’t align with his vision of what Star Wars should be.
