He's saying that NOW, but the reason why he sold the film rights in the first place was because he
didn't want to make any more beyond the original three at the time, and he figured someone else might as well make the Prequel Trilogy and Sequel Trilogy everyone was hoping for. Now that they've turned out to be kind of mediocre, he's trying to make himself look better in retrospect.
(OOC: In OTL, Lucas first came up with the basic story for the Prequel Trilogy in 1995. Just so you know, so we can set a POD for this.)
Yes, even the Sequel Trilogy wasn't that good, trollhole. Although, maybe I'm just bitter because they don't acknowledge Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy.

I guess it's possible my expectations were too high for any Episode VII so that's why I wasn't happy with
Jedi Eclipse.
