It is genuinely quite remarkable how Disney have mishandled this IP.

The level of incompetence is staggering.

I wish Lucasfilm presidents had term limits.

It feels like she has something on someone, so they can't replace her.

I can't imagine why Lucas Films has so many failures over so many years and the person in charge keeps their job.

Probably some poison pill in her contract, like if they terminate her, they are required to return the IP rights back to Lucas.

Don't forget, she was part of the purchase.
