Lucasfilm, a privately owned company and subsidiary of Walt Disney Studios, is headquartered in the US. Founded in 1971 by filmmaker George Lucas, the company functions as an entertainment provider, employing approximately 4310 people. The studio is known for its film and television production, recognized for creating and producing the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, and for its significant contributions to developing special effects, sound, and computer animation for films. It also operates through its subsidiaries, Skywalker Sound and Industrial Light & Magic (ILM).
Dave Filoni, as Lucasfilm President, made his first major move on April 3, 2026, following Kathleen Kennedy's resignation earlier in 2026. Kennedy had served for over a decade, and her departure led to Filoni's appointment as President and Chief Creative Officer, alongside Lynwen Brennan as co-President. Previously, on April 2, 2026, Disney+ revealed that *Ahsoka* Season 2 will feature a significant time jump, marking a first for the *Star Wars* franchise while progressing the MandoVerse narrative and connecting its various projects and characters. This development followed reports earlier the same day, on April 2, 2026, indicating a strategic shift for *Star Wars* content. Lucasfilm is preparing for a return to theaters after several years, while the franchise's live-action presence on Disney+ appears to be reorienting.
