Deadline has word from Disney's Bob Iger on their acquiring of LucasFilm and Star Wars. Iger states that they have an "extensive treatment" for Star Wars: Episode VII, meaning that they're already moving forward with it's development. It very well might have an early draft put together for potential directors. They've even mapped out a trilogy, plans for Star Wars: Episode VIII and Star Wars: Episode IX are in the works. We could see the two sequels possibly released in 2017 and 2019.

“Episode 7 will be released in 2015, the first under the Disney/Lucas banner,” he said, with Episode 8 and Episode 9 to follow. Disney plans to release a new Star Wars movie “every two to three years.”
