This Means War
Disney has announced Star Wars VII, VIII and IX will be released 2015, 2017 and 2019. George Lucas used to take three years, but he wasn't a faceless, gigantic corporation. These films are huge question marks, and I have to wonder if the first doesn't work, will they take it back in the shop and start again?
Also, as if three new Star Wars in five years isn't enough, spinoff films will come out the years in between. No word if there'll be a Christmas special.
In even more astounding news, the plot of the first sequel has been revealed:

I love that that the shouted in comments from Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) were that the female parts seemed underwritten. Well duh.
I fear Disney will turn the franchise into boom-boom messes like the Marvel movies (which are great fun but completely forgettable). In 2020, we may be talking about The Phantom Menace as great auteur work.
Despite the criticism "film by committee" often gets, I think the Star Wars prequels show the danger in "film by revered autocrat". Disney paid a ton for these film rights, and will perhaps lend the editorial overview that is needed to makes these films a success.
He went to the alternate universe stuff way too soon. Not by Star Wars 9 or maybe 8 should anyone even think about it.
On the other hand, every fan starts with Boba Fett crawling out of the Sarlacc pit.
