Robert Sanchez from IESB.net followed up on the Cinescape report regarding a new Star Wars movie and was able to confirm that although there is no "official" talk of a new movie there is "plenty" of unofficial talk. The truth is I doubt Lucas knows what he's going to do but I still lay bets that any new movie would be contingent on the TV show doing well and that it probably won't be out for another ten years or so. Also Sanchez confirms what Roger Ebert stated at the end of his Revenge of the Sith review...that 20th Century Fox is bound to start applying as much pressure as it possibly can to Lucas to create another film. After ROTS amazing opening weekend and the fact that it still stayed strong this weekend there's no doubt that Fox will want more films to cash in on.
