Update: We're listening in to Disney's conference call right now, and Disney just confirmed that Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound are included in the transaction. It also confirmed a long-term plan of releasing a new feature Star Wars film every two to three years — beyond the planned Episodes 7, 8, and 9.
Disney also confirmed some other plans for the franchise, including placement in its gaming and television business as well as its parks and resorts business. It sounds like we can look forward to more Star Tours, new Star Wars video games, and even more non-film tie-in products. Specifically, Disney said that it "really likes Star Wars' potential on TV" and noted that "Disney XD will be a great home for that." As for gaming, Disney itself said it will focus more on social and mobile gaming than developing games for home consoles, but left open the door for licensing Star Wars to other game developers and publishers.
During the Q&A, Disney said that they were purchasing an "extensive and detailed" treatment for the next film trilogy, so Disney won't be starting from scratch. It also said the movies were in the "early stage development" at the moment, and noted that it hopes to have Episodes 8 and 9 released "every other year" — so 2017 and 2019 are the current target dates.
As for Industrial Light & Magic, Disney says that it will let the company continue to do business as usual — it can continue to work with other studios. While the Indiana Jones franchise wasn't mentioned much, Disney did say that though it now owns the rights, there might not be any new films because of potential hurdles with Indiana Jones distributor Paramount.
