It's not going to happen because anyone who really has any real understanding of how that industry works knows full well how that goes. Past that a lot of this is nonsense, 3 $1 billion grossing films out of 4 (soon to be 4/5) is remarkable business for any franchise, one misstep with Solo that wasn't even Disney's idea is not going to cause a change anywhere. If anything Solo not doing great business just shows they shouldn't use any of Lucas' ideas and were right to scrap his trilogy in favor of going with JJ Abrams.
As posted above Pixar in their entire 20+ years history with Disney only has 2 movies total that have hit a billion. Marvel only has 5, despite having almost 20 films produced.
The reality is it's far more likely that Obi-Wan movie that the fanboys were oogling about actually now gets iced for a few years in favor of focusing back on the big money trilogy films.

And Jerry Bruckheimer was a newbie with no record at all? An unknown producer, right?
And yet they fired him after one fail with The Lone Ranger. Oh, sorry, they "didn't renew their partnership but will keep working together, Lone Ranger is not to blame". How similar to the possible scenario I explained.
And stop overselling Kennedy for making billion dollars movies with Star Wars. Any monkey with Disney money, marketing and the Star Wars IP would have made The Force Awakens into a billion dollar movie, regardless of its quality.

Apparently it isn't that easy to make a billion+ picture.
Marvel is 5/19 (25%)
Pixar is 2/19 (10.5%)
Lucas went 1/3 on the prequels (33%)
X-Men + Deadpool is 0/7 (0%)
Fast & Furious Series is 2/8 (25%)
Harry Potter is 1/8 (12.5%)
Disney Star Wars is 3/4 (75%) soon to be 80%.
Surprisingly ...
Pirates of the Caribbean is 2/5 ... so 40% ... so when people keep "why the fuck do they keep making these movies", there's your answer.
