Kennedy
President / Producer
Since 2012, Kennedy has been president of Lucasfilm and producer of its many “Star Wars” projects, a job that can be viewed as akin to shooting fish in a barrel (due to the omnipotent IP) or a thankless task (given the weight of industry and fan expectations). Either way, it’s hard to argue with the results. She came into the job as an eight-time Oscar nominee for best picture, and then the first four “Star Wars” titles released during her tenure (“The Force Awakens,” “Rogue One,” “The Last Jedi,” “Solo”) grossed over $4 billion worldwide. “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” and the live-action Disney Plus TV series centering on a loner gunslinger, “The Mandalorian,” are the latest to come from this milestone franchise. In 2018, Kennedy received the Academy’s Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award alongside husband and former producing partner Frank Marshall.
