They're apprently pretty good about just handing over the money and saying "go get us a big return" from everything I've read, and The Avengers speaks for itself. You didn't see any Disney influence there, or did we all forget that they own Marvel?
No, we didn't see any of it; and Disney is way too big with too many faces that one would expect Micky Mouse to jump out of a R2-unit.
And yet - since there is a lot of money involved, I wouldn't either bet that the money-shifters don't get involved. I think SW by far a more potent money-machine then Marvel ever was and ever will be. But such an involvement would not mean that typical fairy-tale concepts like the ones in the early animal- or animated-movies produced by Disney would be implemented in new SW movies; but I think the general ethics and morality would - like, you know, the misfit becoming a hero (just the same story as in episode IV actually), family- and friendship-values, entertaining sidekicks ... Oh, wait ... Now that I think of it: Things like this were common in Episodes I through IV, at least Star Wars: A New Hope and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Something "dark" like Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back seems to be less likely ... Well, looks like SW and Siney are a much better fit then some might think ...



All the best!
