Doing so could easily come back to bite in the ass any government(s) that attempted to do so. As BioWare's upcoming The Old Republic MMORPG and the currently ongoing Fate of the Jedi novel series both show, there could easily be remnants of the old, original Sith Empire lurking out in uncharted space.
Besides, new Force-sensitives would simply continue to be born anyway.
They'll just reboot everything by then and start over from scratch with whoever are the hottest new directors and writers in Hollywood at the time.
Which is what makes the situation interestingly horrific.
I'm well aware that my tastes in fiction are a sketchy match for Star Wars but that doesn't stop me!
I keep trying to turn it into spinoff of HP Lovecraft.If Lucasfilm goes public, then yeah, they'll do The Usual Thing(TM) which is exactly what you described. But it's the fact that Lucasfilm is in private hands, with no shareholders to cater to, that keeps things idiosyncratic and interesting. Being idiosyncratic means that stuff can go off the rails more badly than at the crassest publicly-held company, where even the soulless suits can serve as a brake when the car is about to go off the cliff, but it also leaves open the possibility of greater genius than you could ever find in mainstream Hollywood, where the same soulless suits can always be relied upon to squelch true creativity and keep things within the same bland spectrum of comfortable mediocrity.
Since the car has already gone off the cliff, crashed and burned, been winched back up the cliff, and the scorched remnants are now in the garage being rebuilt, reassembled and repainted, we've seen the worst of Lucasfilm not being a public company. I'm still hoping that the worm will turn and we might get a glimpse of the best.

has there been any news released on this?
A third trilogy? No...because there won't be a third trilogy.
news released on what?
It's was probably suppose to be about the "other" mentioned by Yoda in ESTB back when Leia was not Luke's sister in Lucas's mind.
Yeah, news on what? There are no plans for a sequel trilogy. The only reason this is an active subject at all is because you brought it up.
I hear they are going to start filming Episode VII next year for a 2014 release date. It will involve Mace Windu discovered to be alive by Luke's son and they team up to take down a bunch of Sith robots from the future! Sam Jackson and Jake Lloyd will reprise their roles, and it will also feature Lindsey Lohan, John Stamos, Sean Connery, and William Shatner as new characters. Also, the rumor is that this movie will then set-up Indiana Jones V, and that Indy V will also be Episode VIII.
Broc...you forgot Hayden Christisan being in the Darth Vader costume and Christophe Walz playing Grand Admiral Thrawn. Tim Zahn is writing the script.
Not sure, but I remember a fairly solid rumor during the early PT years about Lucas having Hamill come in to do some work as a "mentor Jedi" type. Maybe he was going to have him film voiceover bridges to show the PT as flashbacks, but that's all I ever heard.
But the animation suggestion is the best one. First would be the Dark Empire trilogy, or maybe the Zahn/Thrawn trilogy then the DE story right with it.
