It's been reported today that George Lucas is working on some new Star Wars movies. The trilogy would be put into production after the re-release of the existing six movies in 3D, or 'Fadvision™'.
This would, presumably, have the same effect that the prequel trilogy did upon LucasArts - which is to say, they would make a whole bunch of Star Wars games. So if this Renaissance really gets going, don't hold your breath...
Of course, I might just be being needlessly negative. And it's just a rumour. George Lucas has done this kind of thing before, after all.

MAaaaan I'm so excited this better be true!!!!!!!
I know! Maybe we'll even get another GREAT Indiana Jones movie too! Cause the last one was just AWESOME!
My sarcasm is much more apparent than yours. :P

If someone else took control of these sequels I could imagine them being awesome. Star Wars is great if handled by competent creative people.
I'm guessing maybe some of the writers from the upcoming TV series could get involved - this is obviously very early in pre-production, if the rumour's even true, so there are almost certainly no scripts yet.

he won't be restricted by having to make a film fit perfectly into an already existing timeline.
Fit perfectly?? *_*

No, I'm actually viewing this as a very positive thing, and I think that the movies have a very good chance of being better than the prequels. Because, if Lucas is planning on setting the films in a time period after the original trilogy, then he'll have a greater amount of freedom - he won't be restricted by having to make a film fit perfectly into an already existing timeline. He has a fresh start, and he can just focus on making good films, which I am confident he is able to do given the right circumstances. And these ARE the right circumstances.
You make Frank Capra films seem cynical.
