It's happening: After years of speculation, and polite urging from observers like me, Kathleen Kennedy has informed Disney, as well as friends and associates, that she will exit as Lucasfilm president by the end of the year, per three sources.

Ted Sarandos as chief content officer in early 2023, echoed that concern during a January presentation to the media at its Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. It made me scratch my head a bit.
