Would you like a helping of BS from the weatherman? Too bad if you didn't. This is the level of contempt Bob and others have for the Disney legacy.

Disney's CEO Bob Iger spoke over Skype tonight with over 500 college students. Little was said about the upcoming Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens, but he did share that the Disney Logo (fanfare) will not appear before the movie. He added that only the Lucasfilms logo (fanfare) will be before the start of the movie. When it asked why this was? Iger say it was for the fans.
This is nothing new. They do the same thing with Marvel.
In the case of Star Wars, it will be greatly appreciated by a lot of hard core fans who are (seriously!) already upset that there won't be a 20th Century Fox logo as their has traditionally been before every Star Wars film.
It really is silly to say it's about contempt for anything, because one of the things most appreciated by both Marvel and Lucasfilm fans is how the integrity of the property is maintained and not just having "DISNEY" splashed all over everything.
If he had said "sure we're gonna slap it right up there! In fact, we're calling it "Disney's Star Wars: The Force Awakens" you would have had criticism as well.
