Report Says Disney Poised to Name Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan Lucasfilm Co-Presidents

Such an arrangement would mirror DC Studios’ paired creative–business leadership.

Overview

  • Puck News, relayed by Dark Horizons, reports Disney could confirm the appointments within the next week or two.
  • The reported structure would place Filoni over creative decisions across film, television, and other media, with Brennan overseeing business and operations.
  • Filoni currently serves as Lucasfilm’s chief creative officer, and Brennan is president and general manager of Lucasfilm Business.
  • Disney and Lucasfilm have not announced any leadership change, and earlier reports about Kathleen Kennedy’s exit have previously been walked back.
  • Puck also reports Kennedy’s publicist is preparing a media farewell if she departs after more than a decade leading the studio.
