Last week there was a wild rumor floating around that George Lucas wanted to make three more Star Wars movies, in 3D, and with someone else directing them. Now, predictably, the Lucasfilm guys have denied it. Movie Geek Feed talked to Lucasfilm's Head of Fan Relations Steve Sansweet, and he had a pretty strong denial to issue:

"It wasn't a news item. It was something that somebody made up. It's totally totally ignorant and stupid, and even the people who picked it up and spread it along, said there's no way this can be true. And of course there's no way it can be true. You shouldn't believe what you read on the Internet. Take everything with a big grain of salt."

Of course, it's pretty much what everyone expected to be the case from the beginning, and the Lucasfilm guys are good at covering up whatever plans they have on a regular basis. But I think it's pretty safe to assume at this point that three more Star Wars movies aren't happening, even if Lucas is pretty likely to tinker with 3D at some point in the future. You can watch the video with Sansweet's denial, around the 3 minute mark, below.
