We may be years away from the next Star Wars film but there's no denying that the franchise is still making huge waves on streaming with the success of several live-action and animated projects. This is why it comes as quite a surprise that Lucasfilm just let go of one of its key executives who helps oversee the production company's live-action development.
As per a new report from Deadline, Michelle Rejwan has been relieved of her position as Senior Vice President of Live-Action Development & Production over at Lucasfilm. She began her career as an assistant to J.J. Abrams before being given the opportunity to co-produce 2015's The Force Awakens.
Rejwan later became a full-fledged producer in The Rise of Skywalker and despite the negative reception Episode IX garnered, she was hired full-time as SVP and even helped oversee projects like The Mandalorian and most recently Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The outlet notes that despite losing her SVP role, Rejwan will remain a part of the brand and Disney as a whole. In fact, she will now help develop upcoming projects for both Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Studios.
