There are rumors (please keep in mind that I did say rumors) that Kathleen Kennedy has already been fired from Lucasfilm, but that she'll be allowed to make a public exit in September by announcing that she's stepping down. If this is true, she'll be given a lot more dignity than the directors who she has publicly fired. It wouldn't 't surprise me if this turned out to be true. The Last Jedi was financially profitable, but made only half of what The Force Awakens made. Home video sales of the Last Jedi haven't been doing as well as a Star Wars movie should be doing. Solo will be the first Star Wars movie in history to lose money. The toy sales have been in a slump. No one seems to be interested in the new characters. They apparently have four different types of action figures for Rose Tico and nobody's buying them. Say what you want about the prequels, but at least they managed to have several popular characters such as Darth Maul, Mace Windu, Jango Fett, Count Dooku and General Grievous.

So yes, the Star Wars property has not been doing well under Kathleen Kennedy's management. To be honest, I don't think she's particularly interested in the franchise. A lot of her focus these days seems to be on the #MeToo movement. Also, she has had a career dealing with many films and franchises. She probably doesn't like being stuck to one franchise and only saw Star Wars as something she could put on her portfolio. So if she hasn't quit, then she definitely should be fired.
