Well knowing George, he'll probably not stop completely. He'll always have something new that he wants to do with Star Wars. I both kind of sympathize and am critical of him in this. He has had a very hands off relationship with the SWEU and fans are always wanting more of a good thing which Star Wars is. The problem is that eventually you end up repeating yourself or creating something that just can't compare to the originals. I liked the prequels but a lot of people were very harsh(overly so in my opinion) that they were "not the same" as the old ones. This can't be helped, the originals are LEGENDS, nothing will equal them because people will always judge whatever is new by those LEGENDS, so almost always the new stuff won't measure up in their expectations. George is trying to give people what they want and still do what he wants and make money. I honestly think he's out of ideas though and is trapped in the legacy of something he never expected to become this huge. I mean I even feel that after the yuuzhan vong that should have been it. I mean God look at all that galaxy has been through, I actually feel sorry for most of the characters! The legacy series is just a repeat of the prequels, old republic is a repeat, let's face it. It's time to do like Seinfeld did and say we're ahead but we've honestly done everything, it's time to leave the stage. George has my sympathy in that he's kind of trapped in this, I'm a bit critical of him in the respect he is doing nothing to improve the situation and basically let things run wild that led to this. I'd like to see some of the EU done in a show, the Thrawn Trilogy, Wraith and Rogue Squadron adventures, and the like.(The Yuuzhan Vong War is such a dark one that I don't think anyone short of HBO would touch it and how could you do something on that epic scale?) Basically I don't buy that George is done with Star Wars no more than Han and Lando are done at Sabbac, some things you just can't give up you know?
