Honestly, at this point, in light of the load of feces that was the 3 prequel films, I read this news with a strong sense of dread. However, there is a rumor out there that Lucas out at Skywalker Ranch is working on a series of sequel movies to the original films - episodes 7-9 or even episodes 10-12. They will purportedly take place 100 to 1000 years after the originals, and will not focus on the Skywalkers.
If George Lucas writes these sequels themselves, I will come out and say right now that they will be complete and utter garbage - one more gobbet of spit in the face of ever Star Wars fan.
On the other hand, maybe he learned his lesson and will hire a talented writing team to put together some well-written scripts, and new classics will be born.
I'm not betting on it, though. I think that if the rumor is true, he'll write them himself, and they will be another abomination.
Yeah, I'd put my money on "Lucas' massive ego and greed make him write another steaming pile of bantha pudu, which the public consumes anyway."
