Info Post
This is probably the most craziest news ever!!!!! Disney now not only own Marvel, but now they have bought LucasFilm for an expensive $4.5 billion. They now own all rights to all past and future "Star Wars" films and anything to do with the franchise, including the planned live-action TV show. Robert A Iger, who is the Chairman And Cheif Exec Officer Of The Walt Disney Company has confirmed that Disney have made plans for a "Star Wars-Episode 7" and it's set to be released in 2015. The 7th film will now go up against the "Justice League" film and "The Avengers 2".
Iger confirmed that producer Kathleen Kennedy will stay on as the Producer for Episode 7 and future installments and George Lucas will only have the role as Creative Consultant. This is what Iger said about Kennedy and Lucas's roles, It's also been mentioned that Disney plan to release a new "Star Wars" film every two to three years after the 7th film in 2015. There's rumors that original Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill, will be returning for some sort of "passing of the torch" type of scene.

"Ms. Kennedy will serve as executive producer on new Star Wars feature films, with George Lucas serving as creative consultant. Star Wars Episode 7 is targeted for release in 2015, with more feature films expected to continue the Star Wars saga and grow the franchise well into the future."

It's also been mentioned that Disney plan to release a new "Star Wars" film every two to three years after the 7th film in 2015. There's rumors that original Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill, will be returning for some sort of "passing of the torch" type of scene. 
I for one am really super excited about the new films and I just hope they turn out well and Disney doesn't cock up. I also just hope they don't make CGI animated films and make them live-action instead. 
Also, what some people haven't realised is that Disney now own the rights to the "Indiana Jones" franchise too, so we could be seeing a fifth one of them after all and ASAP too. I just hope they don't reboot and start all over with someone like Zac Efron taking the lead. They now have that choice to do that.
