They got greedy and wanted to print money a couple times a year...they couldn't wait or be bothered to actually flesh out the franchise with a cogent story-line on it's 3rd leg.

They bought it and thought it was foolproof.

It's absolutely mind-boggling what they have done, when you look at it from an objective distance.

Star Wars was never Shakespearean drama, but it did have an intelligible storyline running through the OT, and extending back into the prequels. The first 6 films together, it's fairly easy to project certain plots going forward.
It was actually a lot harder to imagine a coherent plot emerging from Marvel, than from the Star Wars framework.

The sheer level of incompetence required to frick it all up so massively is impressive. The worst it should have been, would have been a safe vanilla storyline. That alone would have raked in billions, and left things in place when someone came up with the right new idea. They just had to NOT arbitrarily destroy the base concept... which they did. Kennedy poisoned the well.
