I'd like to point you to pretty much all of the Marvel movies since Iron Man. Also, John Carter. Also also, Marvel's comics.
It is highly unlikely that they'll do anything with the tone of the movies, since the series is already pretty kid friendly.
Realistically, there is no way that they could handle the property worse than Lucas already did.
...Tangled. Hopefully, the Sequel Trilogy would be like those, instead of Lucas' Prequels.
He's giving it all away.
The concern for Disney... yeah, I'm with you there. But that was a rather awesome thing for Lucas to do.
I got this news three days ago on my deviantart account from my watch list.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
I kid, I kid.
Seriously, it'll be nice to have a different spin on the movies... though I sure hope they don't try to pander to children or anything...
If that's the case, I bet a lot of adult fans are gonna be mad... even though they aren't the ones the movies are focused towards...
Specifically, though I know Lucas basically decided anything he hadn't personally made was just dust in the wind, I wonder whether Disney will feel the same way - or whether they'll at least make an effort to fit things with the books etc.

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone with Internet access. If it's a prank, it'd be all too easy for the prankster to make Wikipedia seem to support whatever's being claimed.
Although I'm having images of Darth Vader singing to his evil CAF about the joys of the Dark Side...
It begs to be filked.

Filked?
That's what I mean by filked.
...we take that song from Mulan, "I'll make a man out of you", and turn it into something like "I'll make a Jedi out of you"?
Featuring an intense training montage by Yoda and Luke.
Get down to business, we shall. Defeat the Empire, we shall.
While it's easy to throw nonsense on Wikipedia, this is on too many news sites to be a hoax.
(Granted, some political blogger in New York was happily spreading lies about Hurricane Sandy's effects on NYC the other day. But he got caught almost immediately.)
...it'll probably be a grutchin or something.
A seventh Star Wars episode?
Aside from the obvious question of "is it a prequel to the prequels or a sequel to episode VI?", one has to wonder if the metaphorical cow hasn't been milked enough already.
Then again, this is a world centred on making money...
To answer your question, they are calling the new movies (yes you read that correctly, it was plural) Episodes 7, 8 & 9. So, we will now have the Originals, the Prequels, and the Sequels.
