I certainly think it can be good(I'm assuming it will indeed be set in the Old Republic era.) But like ares said, it's extremely hard to be optimistic, given...well...everything.

Better the devil they know than some other yahoo picked at random. They tried that with Rian Johnson. Womp womp.
Also it might be in her contract to keep her around for X amount of years/projects. She's signed until 2021 currently. She came in from Lucas's deal as co-chair of Lucasfilm afterall. She's also hella connected to the wider film industry and the Disney films are still turning an overall profit. Fan entitlement isn't enough to trump that.

Since DnD have left the project, it has been confirmed that the intended focus of their series of movies was going to be about the origin of the Jedi, and how they came to exist.
...It's a story I would've liked to see, tbh.

They renewed her contract just like last year which is what im confused about.
They are making profit, but shes not the only person involved. And from what I can tell, she keeps messing up on her only job, which is to pick directors for these films.
That was especially costly for Solo, which flopped due to its budget, not revenue. And the budget was ridiculously high, because they had to reshoot the entire film after switching directors.
Things like this Benioff and Weiss, is more of an embarrassment. Like they announced their trilogy as the next 3 Star Wars films.
Anyway we will see what happens. I doubt they will keep her around after her current contract expires. Or they might share her responsibilities with someone like Kevin Feige (we know thats happening for 1 film at least).
They're kinda shit at writing original content, so bullet dodged it seems.
I would love to know the kinda blackmail and criminal chicanery that goes on behind the scenes of these major studios and networks. I bet it's some real House of Cards-level wheeler dealing.
