QuoteVariety reports that the deal between Disney and Fox will be announced on Thursday. 21st Century Fox will retain Fox News, the Fox broadcast network, and Fox Sports 1 while Disney will acquire Fox's movie and TV studios. The deal is expected to cost Disney $60 billion.

$60bn equates to around £45bn/€51bn
Some of the potential properties include:
The X-Men films
Deadpool
Kingsman
The Fantastic Four
Avatar
The Simpsons
So can we get the Fox fanfare at the start of future Star Wars movies? Its just not the same without them.
Hopefully they can use X-Men in the MCU but still allow some R rated movies to be released i.e. Deadpool, Logan
I don't think the fanfare will return. They want the Disney name to be associated with Star Wars more. However, they can re-release DVDs et al in thier original state, without removing the fanfare.
Depending on the deal, I'd imagine they will try and have Fox run as a separate entity - just like they have with their other aquisitions. ie. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
