VIII bled more than half a billion dollars away from the previous installment, and it pissed off even the hardcore fans. We can be sure that Disney knew that, and that Disney was going to be looking at the impact. And now they see it.
If Disney is smart, Kennedy will get removed from her position, in one way or another. She can't get along with directors, which is costing the mouse big money in adjustments and re-shoots even before the movies come out. She also can't keep her politics out of the movies, to the point where that is undermining both the stories and the financial success. She's killing the franchise. A promotion in name only is probably the way to go.
