Disney needs to cool their jets. Seriously, they're like the blob, gobbling things up left and right and getting too big for their own good...

As for the Alien prequels, Ridley needs to just be able to do his thing. People keep poking their fingers into his movies, he had the whole idea for Prometheus figured out originally with the Space Jockey, then it was decided he should make it a trilogy, that's how this mess came about.

Well, Disney very well taken care of Star Wars. Maybe Alien finally get good management/writers and other stuff.

Can't wait to see the furthering of Disney's social agendas creep into the Alien universe.

It's the sheer amount of movies they are making and planning to make in the franchises, it's more and more and more. It's saturation. It's like cake, it's not special if you eat some everyday.

I can see concerns for sure...

But i think Disney would be willing to take more of a punt $$$$$ Financially than FOX, but this could come at the cost of Disney wanting some input into the Plot etc but i dont think Disney would be so stupid to turn the Franchise into a PG-13 or introduce Mickey Mouse ;)

I wonder how much Disney really cares about the Alien franchise since it was never a huge money maker compared to other acquisitions.

I would expect Disney to go in the action direction. All joking aside, I think Disney knows it is a serious franchise and might look at the history to see which movies appealed most to the masses. Assuming that would be the case, I could see it being more Aliens and possibly supporting Bloomkamp's Alien 5.

Get Daniels all dolled-up and we'd have the perfect Beauty and the Beast.  Sorry - someone had to do it (hope I wasn't second).  Critters5 is right, it's going to be PC/microaggression triggered snowflake galore.
