So, Lucas has six movies to dimensionalize and exhibit. The Popular Science article I read on the process suggests one will be released each year. I don't know if/how 3D movies will be available on home video, but I'm guessing HD media is more than adequate -- that's six BD movies to release, starting as early as 2008. Lucas may be reticent and hold out on the home 3D releases until more people have Blu-Ray players, or his favored format may lose the war. In any case, I doubt it'll be a tentpole product.

And let's not forget the long-rumored 2007 Ultimate Definitive Final Saga Boxed Set! That ought to be good for about two years, before they break the movies out and sell them individually. After that, there's VOD rights, then cable, then network TV.

In addition to the movies, there's the SW TV show starting around 2008. In accordance with TV series practices, expect DVD/BD releases to begin around 2009. It will have to last at least five seasons to be syndicated, so expect DVD releases until 2014.

If they time it right, Lucasfilm will have at least one major release every year for many years to come. Their plate is full until 2015, at least. Around 2016, expect the rumbling for a proper release of the O-OT to begin again.
