Part 6/9:
Lucasfilm has seen an unprecedented number of high-profile directors and creatives come and go. Almost all of these departures predate or coincide with the announcement of their projects, suggesting behind-the-scenes issues and mismanagement. Names like Benny Safdie, Rian Johnson, and others have left projects before they even reached production, signaling a chaotic and uncertain future under Kennedy's leadership.
The pattern of ambitious announcements followed by silence and cancellations has led many to question Kathleen Kennedy's stewardship of the franchise. Despite her efforts to maintain control, her tenure has been marred by failures and broken promises.
