At a Rogue One press conference today, Kennedy was asked about the possibility of hiring female directors for future Star Wars movies.
Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, recently spoke about their commitment to hiring female directors, but the comments came under fire for saying those with no experience can’t come in and make these types of movies.
She once again states that they are interested in hiring female directors as long as they are qualified to do so.
They have already announced three more upcoming films with Star Wars: Episode VIII, a young Han Solo movie starring Alden Ehrenreich, and Star Wars: Episode IX being next up on their lists.
