It doesn’t matter if she gets fired now. There’s nothing left for her to destroy.
Sure. She’s always been nothing more than a glorified secretary, but she must be a powerful secretary if as you also claim, everything she touches turns to crap.
How Much Profit Each Star Wars Movie Made In The Box Office

Revealed: Disney's Most Profitable Star Wars Movie
Star Wars Day 2023: Breaking Down Star Wars’ Box Office Performance and More by the Numbers
I saw the movie. We went with a group of my wife’s friends, more as a social event than my being interested in the movie.
I’d give the movie a “meh”. Not terrible, not great.
One point that stuck with me was that it occurred in the 1960s, and they HAD to have the bad guys be old WW2 Nazis.
It was the Cold War. They couldn’t have it be Communists. They HAD to bring back Nazis.
Solo was the first Star Wars film to LOSE money.
The third sequel Rise of Skywalker made about a billion dollars, which was somewhere around the break even point when you figure in production, marketing, and 50% split with theaters (industry math says to triple the budget to calculate how much to get in the black). That's also $1 billion less than the first sequel in 2015. They lost half of their theater audience from 2015 to 2019.
They haven't released a Star Wars film since 2019 and have none in active development.
The Star Wars shows are a rating disaster, and Disney+ is losing billions.
The Willow show was so horribly received that they took it completely off Disney+ after less than 6 months and used it as a tax write-off; you can't watch it anywhere unless you pirate it.
The Star Wars hotel, one of Kathleen Kennedy's pet projects at Disney World, was shut down after being open for less than a year.
And Kennedy is now overseeing what will likely be one of the biggest (if not the biggest) box office bombs of all time, Indiana Jones 5, starring an insufferable feminist and her titular sidekick, Harrison Ford. The movie cost $325 million to produce and another $150 to $200 million in marketing and promotion. That means it needs to land somewhere around $900 million - $1 billion just to break even, and it will likely make less than half of that. Again, probably the biggest box office loss of all time.
But you're right, she's doing great though.
