That's not the way she works.
Abrams and Kasdan wrote Episode VII. Abrams and Chris Terrio are writing Episode IX and just pitched the story to Iger. Kasdan wrote Solo.
Rian Johnson wrote this entire film while JJ was shooting TFA and he even asked JJ to change something at the end of TFA that would help his story.
I've stated several times throughout this thread that everyone from Kasdan to Lucasfilm staffers have said that Rian Johnson's movie is "weird" and doesn't feel like "Star Wars". I'd also made mention that many people were thrilled that JJ was co-writing Episode IX because he'd "Right the Ship".
I expect many of the things in TLJ to be reversed in Abrams film because Rian Johnson just basically said "Snoke doesn't matter, Rey's parents don't matter, Captain Phasma is worthless and Luke is better off dead".
That was all Rian Johnson.
And Kathleen Kennedy isn't a writer or a director or a storyteller.
She's a producer, which means that she provides support (i.e. studio, crew, etc.) for her storyteller(s), in this case, Rian Johnson.
