Kennedy
President
Since being named head of Lucasfilm in 2012, Kennedy has received criticism and kudos from rabid fans for piloting the “Star Wars” franchise through logistical and creative challenges (including the firing of the directors of “Solo: A Star Wars Story” midway through production), ultimately emerging victorious with massive box office returns and further success in live-action TV with Disney+ series “The Mandalorian” plus “The Book of Boba Fett,” due in December 2021. Kennedy has received eight Oscar noms for best picture, five of them with Steven Spielberg directing. In 2019, she and her husband and former producing partner Frank Marshall were honored with the Academy’s Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award for career achievement. The next “Star Wars” film, “Rogue Squadron,” bows in 2023 from director Patty Jenkins.
