Lucas himself said it:

How mad is Lucas right now? I mean sure, he sold it for $4 billion, but Disney will make all of that back and more on merchandise alone. And that's just this year, which is almost over. Also, why sell the kids then?

At the very least, I'm very happy that Lucas being gone means no more whacked out edited versions of previous movies (I HOPE). Granted, the initial special edition release (the re-release to theaters in the 90s) wasn't that bad (when compared to what's been done up to the Blu-Ray versions).

If Episode VIII doesn't show some actual vision or creativity going forward, that will suck. Disney didn't spend all of this money to give us a final trilogy. They may milk this franchise into oblivion for all we know. I seriously hope they're willing to absolutely take risks instead of churning out the same cut/paste movie year after year. Like how Disney mostly leaves Pixar alone, you know? Sure, we may get a Cars sequel every now and then, but we also get those huge risks that turn out unbelievably fantastic like Up or WALL-E. Star Wars has so much room for risks that lead to rewards, and I hope they have the vision to let it happen!
