No?
No. I mean, I'm doing it just for fun now. You know, I'm an executive producer now — I don't do the day-to-day work. I check in once a week, maybe, and it'll be the same thing on the live-action show. I'm also [producing] Red Tails [his long-in-the-works project about WWII's Tuskegee Airmen] — I'm producing all these things now. And then, hopefully, in a year or two I'll be completely removed and I'll just be able to go off and do my own movies again."
So much for moving on after Episode 3. It's been 3 years already George. What makes you think you're going to be completely removed from the process in only a couple more years when you couldn't remove yourself after 3?

At least he is being honest now. He'll never let go of Star Wars because its a cash cow first of all, and second of all if he did that then he might have to actually challenge himself and do something original.
