I already knew there would be a minimum of 3 more movies. Shortly after the release of Sith, a report went out that Lucas was going to work on 7 - 9. Many are hoping it is based on the novels by Timothy Zahn, as it was a damn good trilogy, but I know deep down, Lucas will find a way to fuck up Star Wars even more.

I still don't get how such a few dozen Jedi ran the entire galaxy. A galaxy has so many planets it's unfathomable. Yet we only see about a dozen planets through the whole damned 6 movies. Then we see only 6 or 7 Jedi get hunted down. The whole movie series looks like it takes place in the same solar system much less a galactic empire. To kill that many jedi spread throughout the galaxy would have taken eons and they only had a few hundred thousand clones if you remember.
The numbers are way off in the storytelling.
Lucas can't turn down the Star Wars movies. The money is immense. Sure he doesn't need anymore but his friends and charities do. As the technology has improved CG wise it may make it easier to make but not inexpensive. This is one of my biggest complaints since the first CG was done in films and we started working on CG. The cost of movies and tv shows was supposed to drop drastically. Here we are almost 20 years later and they've skyrocketed to unrealistic proportions. We don't even use sets anymore so what's costing so much money? We don't use anywhere near the number of stunt people or animals so what's costing so much?
See my point? Lucas is smart. He's not going to be stupid enough to spend $250 million per movie. He's going to shoot for a max of $150 mill and less but get more bang for his buck. I'm sure he's looking for a way to do mo cap ( motion capture ) and art acts ( artificial actors ) s o he doesn't have to pay big headed salaries.
He could so rock with three movies after the the series or a middle trilogy of Vader. Who knows. He's done so much for so many people even his fucking up is a money maker.
All I know is they fucked up Lost In Space and we need a new revived Star Trek franchise.
