On July 9, 2026, industry analysts criticized Lucasfilm's recent "Mandalorian & Grogu" film, with Puck's Matt Belloni stating that the studio "played it absolutely safe and it’s blown up in their face." Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw also noted the underperformance of superhero movies. This followed the July 8 exit of Kathleen Kennedy from Lucasfilm, with trade publications assigning blame to her for the "Mandalorian & Grogu" flop. Earlier on July 7, Lucasfilm announced "Star Wars: The Experience – A Journey Through the Galaxy," a new interactive exhibition described as the largest and most comprehensive behind-the-scenes experience to date, in celebration of the media franchise’s 50th anniversary.
