she is not retiring from making movies. But right now Lucas is looking for someone to take over the film, time will tell what will happen. But I think this time Lucas film has a real chance of quitting. .

Um, Lucas retired when he sold Lucasfilm to Disney. Back in 2012. He has absolutely no say in how Star Wars is run.
I'm not talking about George Lucas, I'm talking about KK.
Well, now that you’ve edited your post, yes, one can see that. But that’s not what you initially wrote.
Anyway, moving on…

Kennedy is basically leaving at the end of year. Pretty much everyone's prediction was accurate except some thought she would retire when in reality she plans to keep making movies. Unless she is lying and is trying to save face. If she does keep making movies I assume she won't go back to being a producer in the way she used to be,so I am not exactly sure what she would do. Maybe oversea the creation of small independent films in some capacity would be my guess.

Some ideas from the show have made their way into the current canon, Wookieepedia has a few of them mentioned at the bottom of the show's article. Like Palpatine's first name of 'Sheev'
Star Wars: Underworld
Star Wars: Underworld is the working title of a proposed live-action television series that would be set during the timespan between the films Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. George Lucas first announced the series at 2005's Celebration III. Over...

I think there's a couple things missing, like IIRC there are couple underworld gangs mentioned in newer material that came from those scripts.
OK, good to know they're not totally going to waste then.
I read the original interview and I thought she had said that she wasn't leaving any time soon, and that they were just looking into who might take over once she does eventually decide to leave.
Where exactly did she say she was retiring at the end of the year? And not to be a pain in the ass here, but I'm looking for a direct link to the original source with a direct quote, not some second hand article summarize the interview or wherever she said it.

Well in the interview she talks about finding her eventual replacement and being in on the selection. About Disney having a deep roster or something to that effect. But before that the main assumption I think was with her age and her contract ending, that the natural result would be retirement. Especially since almost any other job would be seen as a demotion. You don't go from running LucasFilm to doing what she used to do back in the day. I think their is also some theories out their that she is being pushed out so Kevin Feige can takeover. I got my doubts on that one. Seems like he would go back to being spread thin with being in charge of both the MCU and Star Wars.
So what I am assuming is she is either embarrassed about all the talk and the idea she is being forced out so she is basically just being defiant and not wanting her detractors to be seen as getting some kind of victory so she is doing some major coping right now. Or she actually does want to keep making movies and since it's not like she will go back to doing what she use to, my best guess is she will be involved in getting independent films made. Instead of chasing big bucks for Disney, start chasing Oscar trophies with spearheading the types of movies that tend to get nominated and win. I can't really think of a third option.
I don't know if a different release date would have helped it. I want to say it was a movie nobody wanted.
It most certainly was not. It was a very entertaining and fun movie. Some people just felt that their own personal idea of what a solo Solo movie should be was better. Most of those people should really never write or direct. Let alone produce.
Well they definitely kept very quiet about it then. I guess you could say it was one of those passions that silently festers beneath the surface, or something.
"Midgets are for Snow White or movies about rings", they were probably thinking.
For the most part, the movie itself was an entertaining 2 hours. Ehrenreich did a great job as young Han and the story was interesting.
What I didn’t need was the origin for everything Han. The dice, the gun, his name. I get him winning the Falcon is an important part of his story, and Donald Glover was perfect as Lando, so seeing how he and Han met was nice. But why did the Falcon have “a peculiar dialect?” Did we really need to know what led to that?

I was more interested in Solo as a character after the Solo film.
I've rewatched Solo more times than I've rewatched Rogue One.
The movie to me played better on second viewing. I mean I didn't hate it the first time I saw it but it's just a fun adventure. It feels very much like Star Wars in spirit.
