I really hope so. I know Lucas said he wouldn't continue, but that could change, or perhaps he could pass the torch to someone else while remaining the final say. It always seemed at the end of "Return of the Jedi" that there was more to be told.

If he does do the final three I hope he follows Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire Trilogy -- to me the three best Star Wars books other than "Truce at Bakura" (Which incidently fillw the gap between Episode 6 and "Heir to the Empire"

The three Zahn books are :"Heir to the Empire". "Dark Force Rising", and "The Last Command"

They follow Grand Admiral Thrawn's attempt to reconstitute the Empire and overthrow the New Republic. Luke , Han, Leia and company are all back, plus the seductive Mara Jade (The Emporer's hand) is introduced.

If you get a chance to go to a convention Zahn is at do so. Great guy, best GOH TusCon has had (last year) during my time with the conventions, gives good panel, and his wife Anna is even cooler.

The Zahn trilogy is a great read, and more true to the spirit of the characters and events happening after RotJ than most Star Wars books. But, "Truce at Bakura"? You sure about that? I have one word for you before you answer: "enteching".

You ever read "Tales from the Mos Eisely Cantina?" It's hilariously awful. Just about *every* character from the cantina scene has a background that involves combatting the Empire.

I need to check those out, though I must admit that the titles don't roll off the toungue as Episode titles.
