The rumor is after the massive negative reaction The Last Jedi received, than the Han Solo film bombing showing that there was monetary ramifications to it, that Disney is looking to replace Kathleen Kennedy as the president of Lucasfilms.

If you don't know who Kathleen Kennedy is, in short many Star Wars fans have been complaining about her management and decision making for Lucasfilms for a long time, but as the Star Wars movies were still profitable, and were generally well received, Disney had no real problems with her.

But my question is, who would actually want to be the new president of Lucasfilms at this point? You're asking someone to jump into the already sunken ship that is Star Wars and to make it seaworthy again.

And if you fail, you'll be blamed, and your career ruined, all the same, even though the chances of succeeding seemed slim in the first place.

Disney isn't going to hire someone with nothing to lose, because that would mean they lack the credentials to actually run Lucasfilms better than Kathleen Kennedy, and if you have the credentials, why would you risk it all just to try and save Star Wars from the hole it's currently in?
