episodes 7-9 WILL happen, i garauntee it

george lucas wont make them. but someone else will. george wont live forever. sometime hell die and 7 years after he dies, all his intellicutal properties are up for bids. some greedy bastard will snag them and conclude the trilogy.

they will have to past through me 😠

There's a little more to it that the 'seven year rule'

Actually Lucasfilm will keep the copyright up on SW..and copyrights only expire every 75 years I think.

That is correct Dim

and that makes that in 2080 it will transpire IF GL dies in 2005 after EpIII

And then they'll probably just renew the copyright..

Which is why you will find that most properties are re-copyrighted on a periodic basis.

It is a complex issue. I understand his family is aginst the idea of someone taking the torch from him.

Quite frankly, though, who the heck wants a non-Lucas Star Wars? It virtually defeats the point.

Ater his death, stick to the books for new material; the films will be done.

I agree, I agree, I agree with everybody.
