Having 6 movies doesn't automatically make you on par with the Star Wars saga. Having a trilogy doesn't either. Anytime a continuing series comes along, it gets labled or compared as the "next Star Wars". Star Wars is Star Wars and that's that. There can be other film series with the same amount of installments, or even with a similar release schedule and anticipation as Star Wars, but nothing will be the next Star Wars. Everyone said the Matrix would be, and then Lord of The Rings. Now people say Harry Potter and Pirates of the Carribean, and Spiderman. They've all been tremendously successful and hugely popular, but nothing like Star Wars was in it's time.
Bottom line is it's all just film franchises that are what they are, and have some similarities in their structure and release and public perception. But those similarities are because Star Wars set the bar and is the basis of comparison for any series to follow. None of it is the next Star Wars.
