I would care, except there's nothing to care about.
You care because of games they made a long time ago.
That Lucasarts was pretty much already dead, so who cares that the studio holding the name Lucasarts has been shut down?
If they were producing really awesome games still, I might care, but while the old games they made might have been great, I can't think of much from within the last 5 years, or even 10 years, that was that super special from Lucasarts.
“After evaluating our position in the games market, we’ve decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company’s risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games,” Disney said in a statement. “As a result of this change, we’ve had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles.”
Bingo
Get that license into the hands of other dev houses that actually want to do something with it. I think this will be good going forward.
Calm down guys, Disney isn't stupid.

Can we change the thread title to say "euthanized by Disney" instead of "murdered by disney"?
Now that other companies can license Star Wars, I want to see a Star Wars MMOFPS. Like Planetside but with space combat being a focus too. Give me my Star Destroyer , an Interdictor Cruiseer and 100 guys to fly tie fighters, let's pull the rebel scum out of hyperspace and destroy them.
i believe that was my first cdrom game.
