Also I always thought that there was planned to be 6 episodes from the beginning, not 7.
Actually Lucas planned only one movie, but once he started writing he quickly realized he had to do 3. By the end of writting the second he has the idea that their's enough for a prequal. so he starts ESB with Episode 5 and RotJ with 6, it wasn't till the video release did they add episode 4. Then lucas claimed the technology was not up to par to tell the prequals. so we had to wait 20 years for him to develop it. so he did and made a technology fill movie. at the end of which he said he would not make another one.
So disney came along and bought lucas films and the rights to star wars for 4 billion.
(after hitting 1 billion in ticketsales with in 10 days of release I bet old lucas is a little sick after that/kinda like the dominoes pizza brother who sold his share of the company for a 73 VW beetle.) So disney is planning to finish this movie out by the end of the decade and has several other spin offs in the works.
Rogue 1 is about how the rebels got the plans for the first death star. it is due out next christmas. It takes place between episode 3 and 4. Vader is reported to be in it as well as some other old characters.
This one is to be shot in more of a gritty Saving private ryan style rather than the typical starwars.
Then next April Episode 8
Next on the books is a han solo movie again between episode 3 and 4. It tell his back story, how he and chewie met, the falcon, lando, the kessle run ect..
Or so say my brother-in law who is an in house camera man for disney.
