If Kennedy believes a SW film she herself willed into existence will underperform, then why greenlight and announce the film in the first place?
Her method seems to be: hire a filmmaker/writer, announce the film they'll be writing/directing. The filmmaker or writer(s) turns in a script and Kennedy doesn't like it. The project falls apart, the filmmaker/writer moves on and the entire thing is cancelled.
The announced Rey sequel to TROS is now on it's fourth writer. They still don't know what this film will be about and it was announced at Celebration in 2023, almost two years ago.
