So long as he is not writing or directing!

The three prequels were dire because Lucas did it all himself, with shoddy writing and excessive CGI.
I read a while back that his ex-wife was allegedly an important part of the original trilogy, as she provided a reality check of sorts. With her gone when the prequels were made, and with Lucas writing and directing all three himself instead of letting others be involved, there was no one there anymore to say "Actually, George, that's a
really stupid idea...".
Why make more? Money, of course
It's a ridiculously enormous franchise.
Will they be better than the originals? Probably not, but who knows... Depends on who writes and directs, and how free they are of Lucas' influence.
I can't see them being as bad as the prequels, though.
I actually have faith in Disney for these, given how well it has handled the Marvel franchise. Just a pity Joss Whedon will be tied up with The Avengers... I'd love a Whedonised Star Wars...
Plenty of other directors though who I think could give it a good shot.

Good list
I'd also add Looper.

Oh, and something I mentioned elsewhere earlier... I would really *love* it if this meant that we may finally get the *Original* trilogy on Blu-ray. I can dream...
