Nah. The Mandalorian is one of the most popular shows in the world, Baby Yodas are flying off the shelves, the recent films have grossed over $5 billion at the box office, and the fans continue to lap up anything SW related, no matter what the format. All of these TV shows currently in the works and the upcoming Taika Waititi film will likely be very successful. The Star Wars brand is doing just fine.

You can hate Kennedy all you want, but she and her team successfully resuscitated a franchise that was essentially dead and buried just a few years ago.
