That's all just speculation on my part, but I do stand by my theory that Rogue One showed KK, Lucasfilms, and Disney that there is another way to shoot a Star Wars movie; that the ESB format does appeal to a mass audience....

Nah.
Kasdan wrote a script which KK approved. Lord & Miller continued to deviate from the tone of the script to the point where it wasn't even the same script.
Kasdan lost his shit and so did KK. Lord & Miller fired. Boom.
The hiring of an acting coach isn't odd but it's odd when it's late in the filming schedule. The firing of the editor and the hiring of an Oscar winner reveals that they're trying as best they can to avoid re-shooting the entire movie but it won't be shocking if after filming ends in September, they once again, schedule reshoots in November or January.
I'll be surprised if the entire movie isn't re-shot under the direction of Ron Howard.
The "cheers" from the crew after Ron Howard was revealed as the new director is quite telling.
