Stop milking the cash cow, Lucas. It's been bleeding for the past five years...
Has it? People keep drinking their milk. I never understood that problem. Let a new generation have Star Wars too.
Why does there have to be new Star Wars for a new generation to have it? There's already plenty of Star Wars for this, the next, and every subsequent generation to be satisfied.
And who decides there's plenty? The movies are there for everybody, yes. But what's so wrong to give people (old or new) more Star Wars? I'm not talking about more movies, but everything else. If people buy it, it's because they like it. I still don't understand the "stop milking the cash cow" argument...
Because there are fans who actually realize that stories need to come to an end at some point. That if you just keep going for the sake of having new stuff, it's utterly useless. There is one mindset of fans that they just want to always have that feeling of having new stuff come out because it feels nice when new stuff comes out. Then there's that mindset of fans that just want an awesome story told in an awesome fictional universe and then have that awesome fictional universe laid to rest because, let's face it, that's part of what makes it special. If you're constantly inundated with it, first it becomes routine, then it just becomes annoying.
Today is BTTF on Blu-ray day. I have a feeling you're not going to find a lot of disgruntled fans out there begging for another sequel under the logic, "Let a new generation have their Back to the Future too." The existing trilogy already tells a story that continues to delight people. No need to drag it out or spin it off or milk it dry.
