£234k payout | Health & safety chief on Star Wars show unfairly dismissed after clash over role & authority

A health and safety manager working on a Star Wars TV series has been awarded more than £234,000 after an employment tribunal found she was unfairly dismissed following workplace disputes over her role, conduct, and complaints about treatment.

The case centred on Miss Sadi Khan MBE, who worked on the production of Star Wars: The Acolyte, where tensions emerged over departmental structure, leadership responsibilities, and allegations about comments she made regarding colleagues.
