Morg, don't know if you're a big Star Wars fan, but just the fact that you're happy with the news, is a good thing, if you compare it with the negative comments that so called die-hard fans left on the net.
I also liked what Disney did with the Avengers movie, although there is a particular scene that bothered me a bit where the "acting" of this police officer character interacting with the Cap was too cliché of Disney live acting movies. But that was the only legacy that I found Disney imprinted on this movie.
Lucasfilm's franchise should be in good hands. Disney seems to be more interested in putting the money where they want to make it, and that is always good for any business, and at the same time they have proven that they are not eager to sacrifice the essence of the franchise just to maintain their goody image they have come to be known for. The Avengers could've end up beeing another wonderful world of Disney movie, but it wasn't. It was at least what you'd come to expect from a Marvel storyline.
