I personally think the Disney-Lucas deal (or lack of) is a very touchy subject.
Nah.
It's been well known for a while. Disney has been wanting a new film for years, but Lucas has held out until they were willing to pay for (at minimum, a few years ago) digital video systems in the cabins to replace the old system of film running all over the outside of the cabin to an old-fashioned projector.
Disney wouldn't pay then, now they will. I heard Lucas was more miffed about the "Disney-Pixar Studios" name change that he didn't like and was thus, mysteriously aborted.
