Overview
- Puck News reports the plan would elevate Filoni to oversee creative direction across film, television, and other media, with Brennan managing business and operations.
- The reported move would succeed longtime president Kathleen Kennedy, who has discussed succession, though neither Lucasfilm nor Disney has announced changes yet.
- Filoni is currently Lucasfilm’s chief creative officer, and Brennan serves as president and general manager of Lucasfilm Business, including oversight of ILM and Skywalker Sound.
- Multiple outlets echo Puck’s timeline that confirmation could arrive in the next week or two, with Disney also expected to name a new CEO early this year.
- Coverage notes the structure would mirror DC Studios’ dual-lead model, pairing a creative chief like James Gunn with an operations-focused executive like Peter Safran.
