The Future of Star Wars: Dave Filoni and Lenwyn Brennan Take the Reins at Lucasfilm

On this very special episode of Children of the Watch, we discuss Kathleen Kennedy stepping down as Lucasfilm president, as well as Dave Filoni and Lenwyn Brennan stepping up to new leadership roles! We reflect on the amazing work Kennedy has done for Star Wars, the exciting directions Dave Filoni could take the franchise creatively, as well as the fate of many announced or anticipated Star Wars projects, including the New Jedi Order movie, The Hunt for Ben Solo, the Star Wars movie being developed by James Mangold & Beau Willimon, and many more.

We hope you enjoy this out-of-the norm news episode, we just had too many thoughts not to share! We will be back later this week with the continuation of our Mandalorian Rewatch, specifically Chapter Five of The Book of Boba Fett!
