I'm optimistic. They were hands off Marvel and Muppets. With luck they will treat Star Wars the same and maybe even make episode 7-9. The property needs a new vision.

On a side note in the PnP superhero campaign I'm in my character is a bit of a sci-fi geek and the team is with Disney (long story). My character also has a magic energy sword he can make like any melee weapon and can change his outfit at will. And he has some wind powers. Jedi anyone?

Was once in a GURPS game where we played Disney black ops, raiding Chinese factories that made fake Micky's, derailing bad porn parodies of Mary Poppins, sabotaging unauthorized grade school plays of Beauty and the Beast, disrupting little girl's princess birthday parties. Yeah, we were hard core badasses ;-)

Which is a single CEO leadership shakeup from being destroyed. The current leadership of Disney understands that they have to take care with their fan bases. The next may see dollarsigns in create a Mickey Mouse Star Wars Holiday Special, with Darth Donald and the Wookie Monster...

Actually that doesn't sound like a bad idea if done for laughs.

How about the Muppets doing a Star Disney Christmas Special?

Could it really be worse than the Star Wars Holiday Special they already made??
