Some time ago I projected Lucasfilm's annual tentpole releases for the foreseeable future. Keep in mind this is only my guesstimation, and it's worth exactly what you paid for it. There's going to be the TV shows, the DVDs of the TV shows, the 3D movies (have they been officially canceled yet?), and the HD release of the SE-PT/S-SE-OT. Assuming the TV shows last long enough to be sold into syndication, and there is one 3D movie per year once those get going--and assuming only one of these major releases debuts per year--Lucasfilm has enough material in the wings to keep the cash flowing until ~2015. Once the TV/SE-PT/S-SE-OT well runs dry, he may go back to the OOT, or he may just release new and slightly different variants of the TV/SE-PT/S-SE-OT material for the next few years (like he did with the SE from 1997-2003, and the S-SE almost every year thereafter).

By about 2020, we can hope that the Star Wars Trilogy is finally available in at least DVD quality, maybe HD. Then we can start working on the Holiday

General Frevious, it seems you are planning to conduct a suicide protest. ("Protest in public ... rather kill myself.") I never really got the point of those. If you're going to defy all social norms and forfeit your own life for a cause, wouldn't it make more sense to break in to Skywalker Ranch, ninja-style, and try to abscond with the separation masters of the OOT? They're probably pretty heavy, so you'll have to make multiple trips. Watch out for Lucas's kid, he's a Jedi, you know.

Possible new acronym: Special Edition Prequels and Special Edition (Special): SEPSES. Not very good, but I think the septic theme works.
