She was a producer for Jurassic Park.
Really makes you think.
Edit: Also a producer for Back to the Future, Twister, and The Sixth Sense. At some point she turned Sith.

She didn't turn Sith.
More like she fricked jar jar and threw it all away for his love.

She was Speilberg's co-producer, along with Frank Marshall, on basically all his movies for the last 25-30 yrs. Everyone knows this.
Her job on those films were ro run blocker for Spielberg and get those films off the ground. Spielberg, though, was still the ultimate voice on the projects, she was there to help him see his vision through..... NOT be the vision maker and overlord like Disney put her in position to do.
There she is the final stamp on all things Star Wars... On any Spielberg film she was a part of, she was powerful, but ultimately just another cog in the wheel.
Edit: it's classic Peter Principle... Only her major mistake was putting perosnal ideology ahead of actually doing her job... Which was to make Disney as shite load of money and keep the Star Wars brand thriving and the fans happy... She has done none of that.
When you hear people talk about "we should be never given so-and-so so much power" this is what happens.

She's a talented producer no doubt. She's also a bad President of Lucasfilm with no vision.

She was just his personal assistant.

I doubt her family examines her life as closely as the board does. It’s a bizarre obsession.

What has she done that was great without Spielberg running the show?
Its like all of the Saban assistants who couldn't pan out(until Kirbs). Were they really that good at their job or did they benefit from working with Saban?
She did play a good part in setting off a backlash against feminism in this country.

Please, probably more than half of the members of Tigerdroppings/SECrant follow 17 and 18 year recruits on twitter.

I think Rian Johnson wrote the Ozymandias episode of Breaking Bad too - on paper this shouldn't have been this hard.

So if I was to relate these three people to pro wrestling, Spielberg would be Vince McMahon, Frank Marshall would be Bruce Prichard or Kevin Dunn, and Kathleen Kennedy would be Vince Russo...

she was also allegedly on set of the Twilight Zone tragedy ..... and snuck out when things went horribly wrong.

Just a bit disingenuous. Here, have some attention.

It's painfully clear that Kennedy was along for the ride on all the Speilberg/Marshall stuff.
As pointed out, projects all her own are simply dreadful. In all honesty, Disney should hire Kevin Smith as an advisor in finding the next Star Wars head hancho.
I would say make him the guy, but he seem sa but took unstable for such a task and his taste is just a little to fan-boyish...might get a Nicholas Cage Superman equivalent type of project if he were there.

She was a glorified secretary.

Yep.
Kathleen Kennedy has 94 producer credits in her career and only 6 of those didnt involve nepotism.
