(CNN) Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy wants to change the future of "Star Wars." Behind the scenes, anyway. Speaking to BBC News on the red carpet for the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards 2020, Kennedy promised that "without question" one of the future big screen movies in the franchise will be directed by a woman. While she didn't name a specific project or name a future film, she did say a female filmmaker would "absolutely" be at the helm. "We've got two or three fantastic women working with Star Wars -- we're cultivating a lot of great talent," Kennedy said.
