suddenly several Disney characters become part of the Star Wars universe and Jar Jar doesn't seem like such a big deal...

Will the franchise be Touchstone/FOX?

Apparently, Fox will retain distribution rights to the existing six films (at least until 2020), but LucasFilm/Disney continues to own them outright, with the exception of A New Hope. All future films will be released by Disney, probably Walt Disney Pictures.

Disney has to acquire everything these days. That company is simply overrated.
