Perhaps Disney can repair some of the recent damage done to the Transformers franchise...

So, this means we'll be having D&D stats for Iron Man and lightsabers?

I, for one, embrace our new overlords! Should this all pan out, I mean what's left? Mattel? Cartoon Network? Nickalodeon? Hm, He-Man, She-Ra, Samurai Jack, Space Ghost, Herculoids, Thundarr the Barbarian, Legends of Korra... sold!

Anthropomorphic Mice, Ducks and Dogs would be core races in the first edition to follow acquisition...

I support Donald Duck as an official D&D NPC.

I'm already not happy about Disney getting the rights to SW, them buying Hasbro would really make me start hating on them I guess.

As far away from George Lucas late ideas as possible is good.

I recall reading once about a galaxy far, far away that might suit the purpose.

Things we know about it already:

1) it will have a princess.

2) it will have singable music

Oh this is the knight
He's a beautiful night
and we call him Bill of Notte
look at the skies
they have stars in their eyes
For this lovely Bill of Notte

3) it will not be hack n slash, it will be about character development

4) any mother in law will be bad

5) there will be lots of toys...though probably not anything 28mm.

But there aren't many 3rd party D&D products these days anyway.

Ah, but you forget the DnD industry leader, protected by a solid open license. I am speaking of course about Paizo. DnD lives in Pathfinder by a small company that cares about gamers.
