The transition of leadership over at Lucasfilm has Star Wars fans everywhere buzzing, actively discussing Kathleen Kennedy’s stepping down to make way for Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan. Amidst the change taking place and the preparations being made for Star Wars to return to theaters next month, one of the most iconic actors to appear in the films has given his thoughts on the new head of Lucasfilm.
We reported on the change back when it happened and noted that the leadership roles would be split in two: creative leadership and business leadership. Brennan, who’s been involved with Lucasfilm after joining ILM in 1999, will be filling the role at the head of Lucasfilm business. Filoni, creative spearhead of shows such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, and many others, fills the role of Chief Creative Officer.
Recently, none other than Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker himself, spoke about the change and specifically about Filoni becoming the Chief Creative Officer. Recently, Hamill sat down with USA Today, and he was prompted for his thoughts on the change in leadership. Screenrant noted that Hamill had nothing but glowing words for Filoni and touched upon the fact that Filoni learned directly from the creator of Star Wars, George Lucas. He also said that he couldn’t imagine anyone better to take over the creative processes at Lucasfilm.
