It's a matter of semantics then if you think about it. The writers should be held to the standard, and since George was the writer, and director of the Prequels, the blame was laid squarely on him. No one else to really blame. He was the final word on it all.
Same with Johnson because he wrote and directed TLJ. Then again, the person who oversees all these things and approves them should be held to account too. So whether you blame Kennedy or JJ, or whoever, it's still a collective effort in terms of writing the script and then the person who greenlights it. When any other movie tanks, who gets heat? The studio. Not necessarily the writer. I mean sure, the writer should be called out, but it's the studio who gets raked over the coals. If Disney were a totally impartial financier for this company then I'd say yeah, maybe the criticisms are a bit harsh, but they do have a say in what gets made. They choose writers and approve scripts, and hire/ fire directors. So they too play a significant part in this because ultimately they call the shots and they determine what gets made and what doesn't. Disney isn't some benvolent investor with no say.
