Kathleen Kennedy on Female Star Wars Directors

In a recent interview with Variety, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy talked about the fact that all the Star Wars films so far have been directed by men.

We want to make sure that when we bring a female director in to do “Star Wars,” they’re set up for success. They’re gigantic films, and you can’t come into them with essentially no experience.We want to really start to focus in on people we would love to work with and see what kinds of things they’re doing to progress up that ladder now, and then pull them in when the time is right.
