We Have Seen The Last Of Star Wars

Filmwad.com has reported the following which signals the end of the cult like Stars War movie series:

It's official. There will never, ever be another official Star Wars production on the big screen. Rumors abounded at the beginning of the month that George Lucas was working on two additional Star Wars productions. Steven Sansweet, the head of "Fan Relations" (Indicating that they actually have a "Fan Relations" division. Hmmm) for LucasFilms has addressed the rumors head on. Stansweet confirmed that 2 miniseries were in the works, but that they were destined for TV only. He went on to say that the Star Wars movie franchise has been officially put to bed. It's high time, if you ask me. Not to take a single, tiny thread of respect or admiration away from the importance and brilliance of Star Wars, but there's only so long that you can ride a wave. Lucas and Co. pushed it as far as it could go, and then some, but I for one will finally be able to sleep soundly at night, knowing that I have seen the last Skywalker traverse a moviescreen. Television, on the other hand, is another story…
