Guess what, nothing is different aside from the volume of platform from when the prequels came out. People took to the internet and complained their asses off. It's literally no different aside from the scale of internet usage and the coordination of trolls
Johnson's trilogy will kick ass. He will get to play in his own arena and it will be fantastic. I would love for his to be 80 years in the future, everyone is dead who you know and we get a new set of heroes. Remember the fun of KOTOR? Granted that was in the past of course, btu the fun of playing in a world that wasn't bound by someone else's expected character arcs and conflict. Why the Mandalorian works is because it plays in a time and place they can do ****. They have some bounds, but not the same level as any film that takes place near the Skywalker Saga.
I think if Kennedy leaves it's by her choice. Disney won't can her given the success of the films, Mandalorian, etc. If Lucasfilm has a chink in their armor it's games where EA has squandered their contract making few good games. But that's gone and hopefully soon we'll be getting more quality games. She is older so she may leave, but not many executives who've made 5+ billion dollars for their business, are let go because of a bunch of butt hurt fanboys. Butt hurt fanboys may have gotten Lucas to retire, but they won't stop the Disney money machine.
