	At Boskone XXIII Lucas film gave gave a presentation about up
and coming movies.  The question, "When will the next Star Wars be coming" 
was posed to the speaker three times.  On the third time she answered 5-7
years.  It was ambiguous whether that would be time frame that it would
be started on or shown; the reason for this is that Lucas wants to work
on other things.  They do realize that people was to see the rest of the
Star Wars series; in fact a slide was shown with a terrorist type note,
written with cut out magazine letters, asking for Star Wars IV.
