I can't comprehend the scale of stupidity of Disney Star Wars. They spent over a billion dollars purchasing the IP, then spent hundreds of millions of dollars making and advertising each movie, and they didn't have a concrete plan in place for the individual stories, the story arcs, the characters, the character arcs, the writing, the lore, basic production stuff, directors, etc., that was reviewed, edited, checked, tested, verified, and confirmed by hundreds of people before they even purchased the IP, or even before making the movies. They just decided to wing it, and no one was fired for the gargantuan failures.
The money and manpower wasted is incredible. It certainly paints the people responsible for this in bright poisonous colors, and to properly describe their faults would be more effort than I wish to exert.
Iger probably thought Kennedy was going to behave like another Spielberg because she mentored under, you know, Spielberg. Turns out she was a radical feminist playing the long game. Credit where credit is due; most feminist women are far too emotionally incontinent to run a long con of this magnitude.

You would be surprised to the extent a woman will play the long game to get back at someone.
