Lucas to make more Star Wars?

Star Wars creator George Lucas could be poised to make three sequels to the original space opera trilogy, according to insiders at Lucasfilm.

Maybe it's just me but I remember when The Empire Strikes Back was released that the deal was there would be three "clusters" of three movies. Episodes 4, 5 & 6 would, obviously, be first. Then would come the prequels (1, 2 & 3) followed by the sequels (7, 8 & 9). For some reason it seems that no one remembers this. It's now some kind of surprise that the last three will possibly be made.

Maybe I'm just getting old.
