Favreau? Filoni? Feige? Here's what insiders are saying about who will — and should — become Disney's new Star Wars emperor: "There is no credible alternative."

Rumors that Lucasfilm’s longtime president may be leaving Disney have swirled for quite some time. But reports that Kathleen Kennedy will retire at the end of her contract may be jumping the gun.

Who wants to call the shots on "Star Wars"? No, really, because it's kind of a thankless job. Of course, the intergalactic franchise is sacrosanct as a cultural institution, so the president of Lucasfilm - home to "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" - has one of the most prestigious posts in Hollywood.
