As far as I'm concerned, I go with what George (Lucas) says, and what he said is there is going to be NO episodes 7, 8, or 9.
I agree with some of the other posters in that contributing back to the/his art form is more important to him (and let's face it, the money wouldn't hurt either, would it? Would you turn it away?).
He and Lucasfilms could "squeeze more dollars" out of the movie series, but as far as the FILM series goes (not the novels or comics series), what more is there? After Episode III, the saga is basically complete and "finished" (okay, well it's really just beginning...you know what I mean).
Check it out. George even says himself that there is going to be no Episode VII:
