If more episodic, epic storytelling is desired (which the franchise does naturally lend itself to), then I'd hope they'd start an entirely new Saga from scratch. The Saga we now have could be re-branded "Star Wars: Saga I" and the new film could be marketed as "Star Wars: Saga II - Episode I" and could cover another multigenerational arc set at, say, the dawn of the Republic. The concept of "The Journal of the Whills" could be pulled out of the mothballs to make the whole thing seem a little less unwieldy.

Something in the depths of my soul leaps at the thought of this - a vast primordial epic set in the Star Wars universe without any references to other movies. I feel like Star Wars has the ability to tell much more mythological stories and embrace its darkness and wonder. Here's to hoping it happens!
