She had her hits and she had her misses. It will be interesting where Star Wars goes from here.

I think this is a good move. Unlike some, I really like Dave, but I do think he's more of a creative than a business-guy. Splitting duty keeps him in creative witht he juice to see his visions through. I don't know much about Lynwen, but she's been with Lucasfilm for a while, so that's good.

I am happy. KK had a tough task, but there is no denying that SW, and Indy, and Willow greatly faltered under her leadership. On top of that the constant issues with directors and production cost overruns plagued her time in the big chair. I don’t know for certain that it will get better at Lucasfilm, but it would be difficult for the new duo to do worse imho.

I will never forgive KK for what she did to Luke Skywalker, my childhood hero.

This sums up things well imho:

Lucasfilm later denied that Filoni disliked Andor and he's talked pretty glowingly about the series previously. I think Filoni's issue was it rewriting his canon by having Mon give her speech in the Senate and then the later one on the Ghost. Gilroy tried to stay correct with existing canon but that was one he just pushed past because it benefitted the story better which I agree with.

We'll find out fairly soon what direction works for Lucasfilm. If Mando & Grogu isn't a massive hit, the Filoni verse is pretty much done as a viable commodity. I know he had dreams of an Avengers type movie with all his characters meeting up and taking on Thrawn but that's on the backburner now, I'd imagine with its prospects riding on whether people come back out for his movie.

I thought about getting into it, but unfortunately don't really have a group to play with. I would maybe see if there is an active player community near you - check out local card/games/comic shops.

I just found this - Karabast. It's an online simulator for Star Wars Unlimited so you could get started to learn the game and play against others online.
