"If I can't be in control, then I want it to go down in flames" mentality.
There is a story long ago where he wanted to expand or create a movie studio on his land, and his neighbors stopped him getting planning permission. So in response he decided to make low cost housing and a bus stop on it (cause he knew that would infuriate all these millionaires neighbors far more, to have poors around).
That's the kind of guy he is, if he can't be in control then he wants whoever takes over to make a dogs ear of it. Then he can sit back and laugh to himself about it being in flames, and all the fans that dared not like his prequels be upset when it's utterly ruined by a feminist ideologue.

Fast forward to 2012, and Kennedy stepped down from her role at The Kennedy/Marshall Company to become co-chair of Lucasfilm Ltd. Five months later, when Lucas sold Lucasfilm to The Walt Disney Company, Kennedy was promoted to president at Lucas’ request – a position she still holds to this day.

He knew exactly what KK is and how utterly wrong she was for the position, and that's why he asked she be put in charge upon selling to Mickey Mouse.
