Most Star Wars fans like Episode 4 and 5, and think Return of the Jedi was good, but a bit disappointing. Then, they generally write off the new movies and the animated Clone Wars.
So, if you only really like 2 of the 7 Star Wars movies, it's tough to really call yourself a fan.
Can I call myself a Matrix fan despite loathing 2 out of the 3 movies?

So you like a movie, big whoop.

I don't like the Matrix series, or the Star Wars series. Whoopsie doo.

Generic, impersonal "you", not Symmetry "you"

THRAWN!!!
Since none of Lucas’s three adopted children plan to take over his film empire, financial advisers say the strategy will save his heirs the the responsibility of managing their inheritance – and potentially going through the often long and fraught process of dividing it. “Mr. Lucas has obviously surrounded himself for years with world class legal, estate and tax advisers,” Wade Westhoff, a financial adviser based in Danville, Calif., says of the Disney deal. “This is a textbook example of exit planning for a private business owner.”

Unless the first new movie is spectacularly well written(rare these days) I don't know how much disney will be able to squeeze out of the works.
As far as lucas being used as a creative consultant I'm sure this is more or less a formality for the benefit of his remaining fans.

I think it is a pretty smart move. They're going to make billions probably on the merchandise alone, since Star Wars is one of the most profitable merchandise franchises out there! And like kids that grew up having the new movies as their favorites, now a newer generation will probably feel similar to any of these new endeavors.
