Okay, I don't know if I'm the only one tired of this question; I get it enough from my family and coworkers and other people, I just don't want to see it here any more.
"Do you think they'll make Episodes 7,8 and 9?!"
NO!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucas is pulling the plug on SW after Episode 3 in 2005. There will be no more movies after that! Don't believe me,...well heres from the man himself!
May 2002 issue of MAXIM:
Georege Lucas interview:
Q: Will there be a third and final trilogy?
A: No chance. It was never really conceived that way, except in the media- they're the ones that have built that up.
Q: Your mind powers will not work on me, George-after finishing Empire, you told RollingStone you had seven movies left.
A: They asked, "when you finish the three films, will you do anymore?" And I said, "I've got a back story I could tell, I guess." So they asked "Will you do anything after that?" So I said, "It might be fun to bring Harrison and Carrie and Mark back when they're 65 and make another movie with them." To be honest, I don't have these stories written; nothing is planned. I'm going to be over 60 years old when I finish this, and it takes 10 years to do a trilogy. I'm not gonna spend my last 10 years doing StarWars.
Still not convinced....
TIME, April 29th 2002:
"The next film is really dark," he says. "The issue is, will people stand for it? But I've got to tell the story. And when I finish it, I'll be 60. I've got a lot of other things I want to do with my life other than more of this."
So there, if this doesn't answer peoples questions about more films than nothing will! 
Thanks for reading and PLEASE pass this on to all those who ask about 7,8 and 9!!!!
Mod Edit: Changed the title.

Well said.
I've recently debated whether or not the PT should have been made at all... the sequel sequel trilogy would just be too much, regardless of who does it. The story is Anakin's, which ends with Six, the rest would just be boring.

Yeah it would be sweet if they could make a movie with the Yuuzhan Vong, but I think it could potentially ruin the saga, which is primarily about Anakin.

No part of the EU will ever be in theaters. Maybe a TV movie, but that's it.

Ah, but he DOES have the storyline for the sequel trilogy. The damning quote is from 1989, years after he rewrote ROTJ to include his previous sequel ideas.
"And after that [after he tells the prequel story, in other words] I can tell another story about what happens to Luke after this trilogy ends...[talks briefly about PT]...The other one - what happens to Luke afterwards - is much more ethereal. I have a tiny notebook full of notes on that."
He may have changed his mind, but he DOES have the further adventures in his head, or buried under a stack of papers somewhere at the ranch.

Nope. No 7, 8 + 9. It would be stupid. It would just look like an excercise in making more money, which <gasp> is exactly what it would be. Besides, 6 episodes telling of Anakin Skywalker's rise, temptation, fall and eventual redemption is good. It has a nice feel to it. Tacking 3 more on the end wouldn't fit.

You go!! DarthZemog!!
I am pretty sick of all this post-quel stuff. IMO, I think that SW is great without it and would be great with it (only if GL directed). But, enough threads!! It's not going to happen!!!!

Well.... Yes, and no. I suppose it is a sequel but when I think sequel I think TESB or ROTJ not Ep. 7, 8, and 9.
Besides, I like to make up new words.

"...You know, Star Wars was a success, but I didn't have any idea then what was going on. I didn't know whether I was even going to be able to make the next two films. I had taken two-thirds of the original script and thrown it away. In my mind, I was saying, "Gee, if this is really a big hit, then I can make a movie out of all the early material that I developed." Empire and Jedi were what that first film was supposed to be. And after that, I can tell another story about what happens to Luke after this trilogy ends. All the prequel stories exist: where Darth Vader came from, the whole story about Darth and Ben Kenobi, and it all takes place before Luke was born. The other one - what happens to Luke afterward - is much more ethereal. I have a tiny notebook full of notes on that. If I'm really ambitious, I could proceed to figure out what would have happened to Luke..." - George Lucas on Return of the Jedi in Aug, 1983.
Apparently it's from 1983 - but that's STILL years after he wrote RotJ. (The first draft was written in 1981, as was the screenplay itself).

It's a long leap from 1983 to 1999, to 2005! I would suspect that back in 1983 he WAS really ambitious, but now when he finishes Episode 3, he will be 60+. Besides the man has a family and as much as he loves SW, there will be no more. He's going on the do TV and some independent movies.
Everyones going to have to face it, if you want to know about Luke, Han and Leia, look to the books, or grab your action figures and a camcorder and make your own Episodes 7,8 and 9!!!
