While nothing is anywhere close to official just yet, this comes to us from the same sources that revealed Rey’s connection to Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker way back in September, and that [SPOILERS] would turn out to be a traitor in the movie, so they’ve already proven to be hugely reliable when it comes to Star Wars-related intel.

Our source claims that Feige is seriously considering taking up the reins at Lucasfilm once his contract with Marvel Studios expires, which would be a huge blow to the MCU but great news for Star Wars fans. The 46 year-old is a lifelong fan of the sci-fi series, and has admitted that he’s taken plenty of inspiration from George Lucas when it came to building his own cinematic universe, which makes it something of a dream job for him.

One drawback is that Lucasfilm are said to want a female replacement, with current Senior Vice President of Live Action Development and Production Michelle Rejwan heavily tipped as the frontrunner, but as a close ally of J.J. Abrams dating back to Super 8, the studio may be keen to implement an entirely fresh perspective on the Star Wars brand. Given Feige’s track record of critical and commercial success at Marvel, if the opportunity arises to poach him, then Lucasfilm would be foolish not to do so at the earliest opportunity.

Give it to anyone. I could do a better job

Delonte West could legitimately do a better job. I mean that

Some random production assistant could be privy to spoilers, but that’s a far cry from knowing the specific motivations of an executive in an entirely distinct department within a huge organization.

In other words, this may be true, but it’s deceiving to present the source of some plot spoilers as a legitimate source for something completely different altogether.

Doesn't matter. Star Wars will still be owned by Disney. This move would be the equivalent of putting a bandage over a gunshot wound.

Woke media would throw a temper tantrum if Kennedy gets replaced by a white man. Disney is probably scared of the backlash.

I’d prefer the Sonic guys over Kathleen Kennedy.

This just screams PR push. Quite sad. Can’t believe they would say no to the man who gave birth to the most successful movie franchise of all time and has brought them countless fans and box office records. He has a proven track record of understanding what fans want.

While I wouldn't have any problem with Feige, I would prefer for this to be Favreau's big break. 'Hung' Happy was born for this.

Having a female replacement was how we got into this shite in the first place.

Have a goddamn competent world-builder running the franchise.

Please be this dumb and let Feige stay on the MCU.
