Yup its kinda official. the article from the Star is as follow:
STAR WARS ADDICTS ARE TO GET A HUGE BONUS - A SEVENTH BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE IN THE SERIES.
Director George Lucas has let slip that he has a fantastic new plot idea in mind and is secretly planning yet another episode.
Previously the cinema legend had said the current smash hit Revenge of the Sith would be the last in the franchise.
Last night a movie insider claimed money was not Lucas's motivation for taking the series to another dimension.
"It's got less to do with the fabulous box-office success and more to do with George believing that there are even more stories to tell," said the source.
"His latest idea would feature an almost all-new cast, apart from Jedi master Yoda, who would be the hero of the new movie."
The plot now spinning around Lucas's head will take the story back to a time 100 years before The Phantom Menace, the first film in the storyline's chronology.
Another film is guaranteed to delight the army of Star Wars fans and set cinema tills ringing, following the worldwide record audiences for the recently-released Revenge of the Sith. The sith instalment of the series took a best-ever £27million on its opening day in the US. Now it is thrilling British moviegoers.
The soruce said: "George is now 60, and he's said privately that he doesn't want to be in overall control of the movie, but would rather hold a guiding brief.
"But that is unlikely to happen given the multi-million pound success of the latest movie.
"Fil company bosses would like to lock him in a room until he emerges with the new script."
A film featuring the tiny green Jedi master, who is voiced by actor Frank Oz, would be a massive favourite with Star Wars fans. Yoda trained Jedi knights for eight centuries. Aomong his final pupils were the most important Jedi warriors in Star Wars - Obi-Wan Kenobi, played initially by Sir Alec Guinness and then Ewan McGreggor, 34, and Luke Skywalker, alias actor Mark Hamill, 53.

people can change their minds. if u think about it he said that he wouldn't do any more films after episode 6 coz thats where that story ends. this could be an entirely new saga, another trilogy in the making. it's a NEW PLOT IDEA. it may not relate to 123456
He didnt say he wouldnt do anymore after 6, he said that technology wasnt upto the standard he needed to do more at the time, hense the wait till he did the SE 😮💨
Seriously, could you handle an entire movie in which 90% of the dialogue is spoken backwards?
And if this takes place 100 years before TPM where the Sith had been extinct for over a millenia... what story is there to tell? You can't tell a story about a hero without a villain...
*sigh* 🙄
Just when I started to have more respect for Lucas, he does something like this.

There would be a villian. The Jedi 'think' the Sith are extinct but theyre not. Darth Plagueis or the Predecessor to him would properbly be in this movie 'if its true'. Because it would be when Palp was the padawan. Because I dont think he killed his master 1000s of years ago, do you?
But yea, without the Sith it wouldnt be a 'complete' movie. So obviosuly there must be one. Perhaps theres one of Yoda's species lol 😄
