Disney doesn't only get Star Wars in their purchase of LucasFilm. It includes the film rights to the iconic Indiana Jones franchise. Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford have confirmed they are working on a fifth installment. There isn't word if Disney plans on making Indiana Jones 5 or scrapping it (unlikely). However, it might actually be a solid film without Lucas' involvement. This also means that Disney can reboot the franchise, if they so wish.
UPDATE: It looks like Paramount's contract with LucasFilm for Indiana Jones 5 is still intact but if released Disney would share in the profits.
