Actually the timeline was that Disney bought Lucasfilm and began their consolidation efforts which led to the project being shut down:

I never really looked at George Lucas' sale of his company as an F-You to fans, but rather a gift. He heard the complaints about the prequels and when asked by TMZ if he would make more Star Wars movies a year before the sale his answer was a hard and direct "No."
I think the only F-You he ever gave some fans was not releasing the original unaltered trilogy on Bluray, but I'm sure that is even in the pipeline. It was Disney that ripped apart Lucasfilm and consolidated it, but I think from those ashes we will get something cool.
I do agree with you and Ravage that so far everything looks good. I love JJ Abrams, the Rebels cartoon is must see TV for me and my son, and Disney/Marvel's track record with their movies is a good sign.
The three standalone movies I would like to see are a Boba Fett film, Obi-Wan and his years between Episodes III and IV with Ewan McGregor (the best part of the prequels), and an Old Republic movie with BRAND NEW characters. What I am afraid of is that we are going to get a movie like Baby Yoda which tries to be a comedy or some dumb crap like that.
