AI Summary1 min read
TL;DR
Kathleen Kennedy steps down as Lucasfilm head, returning to producing. Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan take over. Also, Julian Gerighty moves to EA for Battlefield, and Cory in the House gets positive review bombs.
In today's Daily Fix:
After months of rumors, Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down. She will return to producing films, which is what she did throughout the 80's and 90's until her appointment as President of Lucasfilm when George Lucas sold the company to Disney. Taking her place is Dave Filoni who is already overseeing several Star Wars projects, and Lynwen Brennan, who has held executive positions at Lucasfilm since 1999. In other news, Julian Gerighty is leaving Ubisoft—where he worked on The Division and Star Wars Outlaws—for a job working on Battlefield for Electronic Arts. And finally, infamously bad DS game Cory in the House is being review bombs—but the opposite way than what we're used to seeing. The positive buzz is a result of an internet joke that's also cause copies of the game to skyrocket on eBay.
