He wasn't actually talking about it being the last one, but later, Warren Bell put this in:
What I fear about Revenge of the Sith is that Lucas is lying, or at least will soon change his mind: This is not the last Star Wars.
To which I can only respond: well, duh. George Lucas isn't giving the franchise up: he's talking about Star Wars TV shows next, for crying out loud.
Podhoretz made the only necessary point in his original post: "...it's a foregone conclusion that the final Star Wars is going to make a jillion dollars..."
Right. And so will Star Wars VII, VIII, and IX, when they hit the big screen. The money alone means there will be more.
The only real question in my mind: will somebody do a remake of IV before then?

As I understood it, the original plan was for 9 Star Wars movies, though, you can see how it would be tough to come up with anything good to follow up Return of the Jedi. There weren't any ends left untied, and no young characters to develop.
