I was naively hoping that Fox's ownership of distribution rights on the existing films (and Disney's desire for them) could lead to a deal where that might actually happen.

Same here, even though I knew deep down that would never happen. It's like with the Hobbit movies. I'd hoped that the licensing issue with MGM wouldn't impact on the opening New Line Cinema intro, so we could still have continuity with Lord of the Rings. Instead we get 35 seconds of 3 different logos - Warner Bros, New Line, and finally the MGM lion. Ridiculous.

The best we can hope for is that this was a rushed placeholder to prime us for not seeing the Fox intro anymore, meanwhile Williams is composing the actual new fanfare ready for TFA. My concern is that even as a rushed placeholder, the transition is so horrendous that I'm having serious doubts about their quality control process. If they can fuck up an intro, what are they doing with the movie?

Star Wars and quality control have been mutually exclusive since 1983. Disney is just carrying on the tradition of impossible to fathom incompetence.
