I cannot imagine how an executive at Disney read the script for TLJ and thought to themselves "yes! this is the thing that is going to push us past the box office take for TFA and dependably line shareholder pockets!"

Yeah. Whichever old dogs gave that script/pitch the thumbs up are the ones that need to be replaced if they want the universe to succeed in the future similar to marvel.
How can you trust these powers that be to greenlight the right people and scripts when their judgment to this point has painted them into this corner where they now must take a hiatus from the films.
They need to step aside when it comes to the creative process, get some brilliant minds that understand today's audience and care about constructing well thought out narratives to handle that and have full autonomy.
If there was as much tampering in JJs films as there was rumored to be, then they're doing this whlle thing very wrong.
These individuals behind the Mandalorian thankfully seem to have the chops when it comes to telling interesting new stories while staying true to the universe they're telling them in. They've warranted work on more projects I would say.
