* ThePeterPrinciple: She is a better producer than she is the head of a beloved, long-running franchise. While KK has produced many of the best films in Hollywood history (see above), those films were also directed by some of the best directors in Hollywood history (biggest names include Creator/StevenSpielberg & Creator/GeorgeLucas). As the head of Lucasfilm, however, she has managed to do the impossible: cripple the Franchise/StarWars IP. Her worst decisions include:
** Declaring 30 years worth of Star Wars Extended Universe CanonDiscontinuity without at least trying to separate high quality works (i.e. anything by Creator/TimothyZahn) from low (i.e. anything by Creator/TroyDenning).
** Allow Creator/JJAbrams & Creator/RianJohnson, 2 directors with wildly different directing styles, to essentially play tug-of-war with the Sequel Trilogy.
** Do the [[https://thecantina.starwarsnewsnet.com/index.php?threads/the-force-is-female-a-bs-story.55174/ Nike Ad]] "The Force is Female" without forseeing the MASSIVE UnfortunateImplications the photo would bring in today's highly politicized culture.
** Jamming Lucasfilm with her own ([[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/lucasfilms-force-kathleen-kennedy-reveals-an-executive-team-more-50-percent-female-953156 all-female]]) supporters whose main qualification is loyalty to her over competence or wanting to create decent content.
** Is unable or unwilling to stop Creator/RianJohnson & her other supporters from [[https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2018/07/star-wars-director-rian-johnson-blames-gamergate-for-fan-disgruntlement/63474/ insulting Star Wars fans]].
** Fire [[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/sep/11/star-wars-lose-directors-trevorrow-lucasfilm multiple directors]] out of sheer ExecutiveMeddling.
** After declaring 30 years worth of Extended Universe material non-canon and despite having outlines from Lucas himself, complains that there's [[https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/11/21/kathleen-kennedy-on-difficulty-of-making-star-wars-sequel-films-theres-no-source-material-we-dont-have-comic-books/ no source material to work with]].
