George's record with SW includes ewok movies, ewok cartoons, the YSV alien story arc, the x-mas special, and the new trilogy. Lucas has traditionally been the biggest threat to the SW IP.
At this point you can really only go up. Even if it turns into complete disney crossover garbage, it really isn't any worse than what Lucas did. Ok, with exception of the YSV junk...if the movies include that garbage it would officially be the bottom of the pit and they couldn't really dig any further.
With any hope, they move forward a few years in the timeline, return the saga to the darker feel of the original trilogy and give us something to be proud of.
Think of the great new potential for directors. Whedon, Abrams (not traditionally a fan of his, but he did great with star trek), Favreau, Nolan, Johnston, Jackson. All amazing directors that have a love for sci-fi, a great track record, and even some of which have a current or past history with Disney.

Not true, for instance the dreaded Holiday Special is an 20th Century Fox Production.
Empire strikes back on the other hand is a Lucasfilm production!
Say what you want about him, I don´t want to see a Star Wars movie with George Lucas at least being consulted, the guy IS Star Wars, if you like it or not.
