Star Wars is pretty much as close as any property in existence to being the Golden Goose.
All you have to do is STFU, sit back and let it squirt out Golden Eggs.
Kennedy did not do that. It still went ahead and made a bunch of money, but I think a lot of that is in spite of her efforts as opposed to being because of them.
You are absolutely correct, if things were going swimmingly they'd be trying to drown you in content not smashing the 'pause' button.
If I've said this once I've said it a million times....just because something makes a lot of money does not mean it was necessarily 'Good.'
For all the talk from Executives and Producers and Directors about cherishing and respecting Star Wars and what it means to people they really wiped their ass with it via this trilogy.
Mistakes were made. Bad ones. And worse, really obvious ones.
I think they've bungled this badly because it was their opportunity to use the past material and characters to usher in a new generation to the Universe they want to create and they did it very, very badly.
