How did Disney get someone so brilliant in Kevin Feige but drop the ball on the hiring of the person in charge of Star Wars

Because Kevin Feige had been with Marvel Studios since X-Men 1, way before Disney. Donner and Arad were specially impressed with his knowledge of the Marvel Universe. Basically, he was a huge nerd, and then became president of Marvel Studios and then when Disney bought Marvel Entertainment, they kept him.

Micheline Chau, who was the president of Lucasfilm retired when Disney bought them, and the other person in charge was George Lucas, who they didn't want. Kennedy was Spielberg's friend and she worked on Indiana Jones, so they took a shot with her.
