Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy has announced her full support for the WGA strikes, a major development that will please Star Wars viewers. On May 2, 2023, the Writers Guild of America – a combined US labor union embracing both movie and TV writers – launched major strikes in pursuit of improved compensation for writers across Hollywood. Many shows and movies have been indefinitely delayed, with even Netflix's flagship Stranger Things affected. Even Star Wars has not been immune, with both Andor season 2 and The Mandalorian season 4 brought to a halt.
