Hollywood, CA —Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, has been asked to run for governor of California following rumors of her departure from the Star Wars franchise. However, Kennedy reportedly has no interest in the position, citing that "California has already been destroyed."

The Rumors

Speculation about Kennedy's exit from Lucasfilm has been swirling for weeks, with insiders suggesting that she may be stepping down after years of “…steering Star Wars into the ground like a f****ng lawn dart”, according to one anonymous source. The rumors have sparked a flurry of reactions from fans and industry professionals alike, from parties to parades, with many wondering if she really is leaving.

Star Wars Fans' Reactions

This news comes as no surprise to Star Wars fans, who cringe in horror as they worry about other beloved franchises that have not yet been destroyed. "Will she really retire, or will more fan favorites be flushed down the toilet?" one fan lamented.

The Proposal

Amidst the speculation, a group of political enthusiasts and Hollywood insiders proposed that Kennedy run for governor of California. Their reasoning? Her leadership ‘skills’ and inability to navigate the complexities of the entertainment industry could translate well to the political arena.

Kennedy's Response

Despite the enthusiastic proposal, Kennedy has made it clear that she has no interest in the position. "California has already been destroyed," she reportedly quipped, referencing the state's ongoing challenges with wildfires, homelessness, water shortages, and political gridlock. "I'm not sure I could do a better job than current governor Gavin Newsom."
