Kathleen Kennedy is officially stepping down from Lucasfilm, and today on The Kristian Harloff Show we break down what this means for the future of Star Wars, Lucasfilm leadership, and the franchise as a whole. From the official exit to Kennedy's own comments on the current status of multiple Star Wars projects, this is a major turning point for one of the most iconic brands in pop culture.

We also discuss Kennedy's reflections on the toxic side of fandom, her thoughts on what went wrong with Solo, and how audience expectations and studio decision-making have evolved over the years. What projects are still moving forward? What might be reworked or shelved? And what does this leadership change signal for the next era of Star Wars films and series?

In addition, we pivot to DC Studios news as James Gunn responds to reports that The Brave and the Bold could be targeting a 2028 release date, and confirms that the Mister Miracle animated series is officially part of the DCU. Big leadership shifts, franchise strategy updates, and major universe-building conversations all collide in today's episode.

Join Kristian and the panel as they analyze the implications, speculate on what comes next, and put these developments into context for both Star Wars and DC fans.
