Star Wars fans are a die hard bunch. Ever since Return of the Jedi was released, and the fans were, uhh, graced with the presence of Ewoks, they have longed for a proper sequel to their beloved franchise. Sadly, they got Jar-Jar Binks and the prequels, but even that train wreck wasn't enough to dissuade them from their dreams of sequel heaven. There's been talk of the infamous episodes seven through nine for years, and now the rumors resurface, as the Star Wars geeks freak out.
/Film is reporting a rumor that has been denied by Lucasfilm that a planned trilogy is in the works and will be released after the six movies are released in theaters in 3-D. The rumored story will be quite some time in the future and have nothing to do with the Skywalker family, at least no one we know.
The good part about a storyline having nothing to do with the familiar characters is that Lucas doesn't have to play puzzle master, leaving some fans yelling "convenient," like they did with the prequels. This would give Lucas a fresh start in a very large universe. I don't know, however, how the Jedi would fit into a world so much farther in the future. It would seem to me the logical progression would be that the Jedi council and any remaining Jedi would just get pushed aside, similar to Paganism. I mean, they were responsible for the years of the dark times in the universe.
What do you think, does this sound like a good idea to you? What kind of stories would you like to see?

Could be, or it could turn into a secret organization... Or maybe scientists figure out how to harvest Metachlorians in a lab.
A laboratory, not a labrador.
