One more thing, I have to imagine one of the reasons Lucas made this deal was to "protect the IP". He didn't really pursue lawsuits of fan films and such in the past, but I think the SW fan universe has expanded such that if Lucas wants to keep it all in the family, he knows he's going to have to crack down. But since he's too lazy to spearhead that himself, he's comfortable letting Disney and Kathleen take the reins.
