It's not just that they are bad at Star Wars, they have mishandled Marvel too. They went on an IP buying streak but seemed to have been far too focused on generating "content" rather than quality TV and films. However, at least Marvel has a showrunner:
There were a number of mistakes made (including deciding to drop a Star Wars film a year) but this seems one of the biggest unforced errors. I still can't work out what the thinking was there other than "the fans will lap up any old Star Wars so we don't have to put any effort in".
