Sequel trilogy

Note: The following is based on the majority of the information publicly given by Lucas between 1980 and 1994 in regards to a Sequel Trilogy to the original trilogy. The sequel trilogy was a putative film trilogy originally to be made by George Lucas and set in the Star Wars galaxy.

The sequel trilogy
The films would have taken place from approximately 40 ABY to 203 ABY, based on early facts from Lucas. A detailed fan timeline has suggested narrowing this further to 59 years after the Prequel Trilogy and 36 years after the Original Trilogy though this remains conjectural. The series would have been Episodes VII, VIII, and IX.

The sequel trilogy was to feature Luke as a Jedi Master in his sixties passing on the excalibur to the next young hope, the rebuilding of the republic and the reestablishment of the Jedi Order. Its main theme was, according to a 1983 Time Magazine article, "the neccesity for moral choices and the wisdom needed to distinguish right from wrong". According to reports from Lucas, a major villain in the sequel trilogy would have been a figure previously frozen from Revenge of the Sith.

Further episodes
There have also been reports by Lucas of other Star Wars films that he considered than these three. Although they were at one point at least considered, no information is currently known of their stories, other than that they were to be of the further adventures of Luke Skywalker, according to the second issue of The Official Star Wars Bantha Tracks Newsletter from 1978.

Official claims
At this point in time, this trilogy is no longer to be made, these facts given are the only known facts given by Lucas about what he actually had in mind for the rest of the series. It is necessary to include these events, if only to support the fact that there was a Sequel Trilogy planned at one time, despite what Lucas has said since 1995 in rebuttal of what he said from 1978 to 1994. Of this information, only the name of Luke’s son, Ben Skywalker, is taken from other sources, from the Expanded Universe.

At this point (2005) after finishing his 6th movie of the saga, Lucas said that he has no plans of making another set trilogy. Although there is still hope among the fans of passing the project to someone else, while controlling it behind the scenes, or doing the trilogy after some time.

Considering however the big success of the movie franchise - more than $4 billion - there is a suggestion that the creators and masterminds of the franchise wouldn't want to stop.

SuperShadow's claims
Since the early days of the Star Wars prequels, one man on the internet, who goes by the alias of SuperShadow, has made multiple claims that Lucas has personally given him the right to make, not only the sequel trilogy, but three more movies after that. Despite his claims, SuperShadow has made evidence against himself showing that he is nothing more than a fraud. On his site, SuperShadow even claims that he posseses the etire plot outlines, given to him by Lucas, of these movies and that he plans to release them, starting in 2020.
