We don’t want to talk somebody into it. This has made it an experiment by all accounts and if successful opens the doors for Lucasfilm and Disney to do seemingly whatever they want in the Star Wars realm. He praised the "exceptional film-making" that had been highlighted during the ceremony, and reflected on his 10 years as Bafta president, joking that he did not know if he should be "proud or slightly alarmed" at how many of the winners "have portrayed members of my own family". During a press conference for Rogue One, in theaters December 16, Kathleen Kennedy revealed that she has met with a number of female directors.

And we just brought in Deborah Chow who is doing the Obi-Wan series. Lawrence M. Lease writes frequently on politics, entertainment and sports. In a lot of ways, the Star Wars franchise is more female-friendly than ever. Kathleen Kennedy has no doubt that a future Star Wars film will be directed by a female filmmaker. J.J. Abrams already had several features under his belt, including two Star Trek movies, before he directed The Force Awakens. Both Gareth Edwards (Rogue One) and Colin Trevorrow (Episode IX) were not heavily experienced before tackling this franchise, but each showed that they were capable of the task in both indie films and larger ones as well. In fact, they could very well be meeting with Captain Marvel contenders for future Star Wars projects as well.

Tobe Hooper's LIFEFORCE (1985) - WTF Happened to this Movie? Mahoney was second unit director on "The Rise of Skywalker." “We are going to hire a woman who’s going to direct a Star Wars movie.”. But Kennedy’s “experience” requirement exists within a system that consistently disadvantages female filmmakers. Then they get punished for not having enough experience when the next giant franchise movie comes around looking for someone to hire.

[Pats Gareth Edwards' shoulder]. While Kennedy says Lucasfilm will bring on female directors, there's no specific time frame for that, because the future of "Star Wars" on the big screen is still murky. They will likely look at a similar track for all directors they consider, which should lead to female directors boarding the franchise in the near future. “It is going to happen,” she said last year.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is in cinemas now. On the other hand, I want to make sure we put someone in that position who’s set up for success.
