I think there is certainly more mileage that can be milked from the Star Wars universe. Six movies can't (and doesn't) address the many storylines that have been started in the SW universe. The timeline between episiodes 3 and 4 (note to George, we'll need to focus on episode names, not numbers) are full of potential for development, and I hope that that area gets developed better. (The world of ep's 7, 8, and 9 have been written about considerably in the New Jedi Order).
One thing that is important IMO is that a theatrical release of a new Star Wars movie is a significant event in the world at large, like the Super Bowl is in the USA (not sure what the equivalents are in other nations, sorry). And like the Super Bowl, not every one is happy with the results but no one would suggest that the game go away. It is part of popular culture. Star Wars may not be the best directed science fiction productions, but they are the best known and can still command attention (and $$$) 30 years later. Star Wars has undoubtedly been the most successful scifi in touching the minds of mainstream (i.e. non scifi) people in its time. At that point, thoughts on quality of direction aren't that significant IMHO.
