A whole new story? But aren't they contractually bound to follow Lucas' treatments?

The new story thing is probably just a rumor, but even then, I haven't read anything that indicated that there were stipulations in the contract about those treatments.  They completely own Star Wars now, and I assume they can do whatever they want. 

A very safe bet. Just consider the question: or what? The contract between Lucas and Disney was the sale of property - not a licensing agreement or a joint venture. Lucas has his $4.05billion (minus taxes) and that's that.
