Its still a lot better than Lucas milking the same 6 films over and over again. At least hes going to do something new again instead of living in the past.
While I think the Thrawn Trilogy would be epic on the big screen, the entire movie would have to be CGI, and all the actors wuold have to come back to do voice-overs. While its something that can be done, I would prefer they didn't. They would just be setting themselves up for more criticism like ep 1,2,3 got.
I would personally like to see the Bane Trilogy made. Not only will it seperate itself from the original trilogy and living up to great expectations, it will show a completely different side of the force. Completely new story lines, and new poeple to follow. After all people love the Anit-Hero like Scarface, the Godfather, Freddy Krugar, etc... Bane would be a loved bad guy. Not to mention EPIC Jedi vs Sith Wars.
If not the Bane Trilogy I would go with a Trilogy about Revan and Malak. That would show points of view from Jedi and Sith.

The problem with that is your skipping by so much story that you will upset the fan base of the origianl trilogy, and the EU fans. I mean your skipping Han and Leia getting married, have 3 kids, 2 dying... Luke getting married, having a kid... Han and Leia's kid killing Luke's wife... I mean its just too much to leave out. Its not something that can be summarized by scrolling text if you know what I mean.
The only 2 options I see is:
A) pick up the story right after ROTJ, with CGI characters,
or
B) Base the trilogy off of charaters not in the 6 movies we have now, meaning before Ep 1, or waaaayyy after Luke and everyone else dies...

Doubt it. For Lucas the Sith have only been around for a thousand years. So he may go into the Sith Origin story which would also include the formation of the Republic. It would be pretty cool.
Your right, he could.... but he wont. If you think about all the EU works that would basically become useless if he did that.... Besides, not only would you be pissing off the original trilogy fans that are very hard to please, you would be pissing off the EU fans as well.
No I think the best way to go is a trilogy completely seperate from any of the trilogies/tv shows already done. Same universe, same prncipals of the force, space battles, and war, just in a different era, shown through the eyes of the Sith. EPIC.
