Episode 7? More like "The Fanboys Strike Back Part 2"
The franchise does go past episode 6 but I heard it just gets worse down the line.
Example:
Palpatine comes back as a ghost to possess Leia's unborn baby and this goes on for god know's how long
and
CHEWIE FUCKING DYING
I like the idea of disney and Lucas Films working together hopefully Jorge Lucas survives long enough to do his job to finish at least episode 7-9,"Luke I am your father... join me. Together we can rule the galaxy nigga"

That's all Expanded Universe though, which isn't seen as being properly canon or at-least as canon as the movies themselves (it's complicated with different levels of canon and all). I hear George sees the movies as standing on their own as a canon with the EU stuff as a "parallel universe" based on his own, a view I can emphasise with since the EU is a real mixed bag, ranging from as good as the original films to downright silly plots like the ones you mentioned in the spoilers above. The upshot is though that these new films don't have to pay even a second of attention to what goes on in the novels set after VI, they can do whatever they want (and hopefully write a good plot!)Anget Colslaw said:
Episode 7 could actually be good, in the sense that it has no obligation to connect with anything that happened in the previous movies (like the prequels did). They could set it 100 years after episode VI, and make it about Luke's distant grand kids or something. They have a huge amount of freedom to tell whatever story - and it isn't as if Disney lacks good stroy writers.
Plus, it might even distract people enough to stop them whining about the prequel movies.
Or maybe we should just ditch Star Wars. To be honest, it isn't that great a series. It's good and nostalgic, and that is all there is to it. I'm not sure it deserves more movies.

I'm super hyped about this. Seriously has Disney ever put out anything but quality programming. That is to say they have a tonne of money to back their work. Regardless, I'm not sure if Lucas directs episodes of Clone Wars or certain video games, those are my favorite works of the franchise. Basically I just love the Universe itself so what could the harm be in handing the reigns to somebody else.
I don't care that's it's Disney who bought it, this is pretty much what I've always wanted: Star Wars movies not written by George Lucas. I honestly like his direction so it is something of a shame that he won't be taking that role again, but it's worth it for the chance that they might actually have a decent script for once.
And as so many people have already said, thinking of the franchise on a whole can it really get any worse? I doubt it.

i'm pretty sure Lucas isn't involved in this. It looks like he's sold the whole company and is letting Star Wars go. I'm hopeful for Disney here. May the force be with them...MCrewdson001 said:
I wonder how much established "canon" they will accept or ignore. So much expanded universe goes into the immediate timeline afterward they have three options: make it an adaptation of the expanded universe; make how they want in spite of the expanded universe, or sidestep the issue by setting it distantly beyond episode 6.
It's a long wait, and lot remains to be seen, but I have confidence in Disney. They've made good movies targeted at a similar audience recently (Tron: Legacy, John Carter, Pirates 1, 2, and 4, Phase One) so I think it's worth giving them a shot. They already know how steep the price would be for screwing up.

Meh, I say this is good, Lucas is barely involved in the production other than as a creative consultant. And regardless, to me, any new Star Wars is better than no new Star Wars.
Plus I think it would be quite refreshing to see a completely different Star Wars story in a movie.

His performance actually partially ruined the original trilogy for me. He did such a great job with his role and made Obi-Wan really likable. Knowing that Anakin beats him later on just pisses me off because of how much of a little ***** Hayden Christensen portrayed him to be.Valis7 said:
But ya. Ewan Mcgregor was pretty much the only redeeming part of the prequels for me.
