You want this... present tense? What would be the point?

I can understand people having felt that way back when Lucas owned the company since most anything being made (whether directed by him or written/produced by him) had his involvement on some level and if you liked most of what he made.

But now the company is owned by Disney, and anything they put out (that isn't SW or Indiana Jones), regardless of whether or not it is under the Lucasfilm banner, doesn't have his involvement at all. Releasing a new, original movie (or even adapted from some other random existing property that Lucasfilm never touched previously back when George was in charge) would be no different if released under Lucasfilm or under one of Disney's other studio banners like Touchstone or something.

When Disney bought Lucasfilm, they were mainly buying Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Putting out any other content now other than those properties under the Lucasfilm banner would be moot since it would just be other random people making that stuff who never worked with Lucas, and who would do the same job if put under another Disney-owned banner.
