Kathleen Kennedy and Randy Marsh in South Park

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Hollywood industry insider Matthew Beloni has insisted Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy, often a subject of criticism in the Star Wars fandom, is no "woke warrior." Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has come in for heavy criticism in some corners of the Star Wars fandom, considered responsible for supposedly "woke" Disney projects.

"But Kathleen Kennedy is not... That whole 'South Park' thing was... It was funny, but it wasn't accurate. Within Disney, she's not known as the 'woke warrior.' She kind of has to be convinced, from everything I've been told, she kind of has to be convinced to do this stuff."
