George lucas has brain farts right and left. One minuet he thinks something the next it's totally different. At that point in time when he was asked that question he just spontaneously thought of the prequels for that answer even though prior to that his idea was for that to be expanted to a trilogy from episodes 7-9 about Luke searching for another jedi hidding somewhere in the galaxy. At that moment lucas probably forgot about his shaky idea for a sequel trilogy and was thinking of the prequels at that point and just made up some BS that he thought was authentic in his mind. Ya know, I think lucas is dilusional. I think he often doesn't realize what he is saying is BS. Sometimes really I think he just automatically thinks he knows everything even though he don't know squat. I know of a person who has a disorder where they don't know when they fall asleep and when they wake up he has no acknowledgement that he just slept and he often gets into arguments when people tell him he was sleeping because he has no memory of it. I think GL has the same problem only when he makes up stories about SW. Either that or he just has too big of an ego to ever question himself.

I would like to know when it was exactly decided that they were not going to make episodes 7-9?
