This is terrible news to me.
I am pretty neutral towards Star Wars as a franchise. The movies are ok, but they're not as good as people make them sound.
The problem though is that for the last 21 years I have been hearing about it; the same jokes, the same images, the same one-liners, and frankly I'm sick of it.
This guarantees at least another 10 years of that.

Seems this has been brewing since January 2012

George Lucas is sick of hearing complaints from the Star Wars fanbase, so he's leaving big-budget filmmaking for smaller projects.

In a recent New York Times interview regarding his upcoming film Red Tails and the difficulties in creating the World War II biopic, filmmaker George Lucas stated he's stepping back and pull the final curtain on his career. Instead of producing any more multi-million dollar blockbusters, Lucas hopes to devote his time to making smaller, more artsy and personal films like his mentor, friend and fellow filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.

"I'm retiring," Lucas stated in the the interview. "I'm moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff."
