Either way, movies set after Return of the Jedi are films I wish Lucas made in the early 90s, while supposedly waiting for the technology to get good enough to make 1-3.
Obviously the effects of the time were fine to make those.
I can see how he felt constricted by 80s technology in making a story the scope of the Clone Wars, but there's really nothing about a post-original trilogy story that coudln't be done with the same level of technology they were at by Return of the Jedi. The possibilites would be even greater by the early 90s.
If they released the first one in 1990, they would have been done by 1996, and Episode 1 could still have been primed and ready to go in 1999.
People would have been way less unreasonable in their expectations, and Lucas clearly wouldn't have had the rust. He'd probably be more open to still using other directors too.
I can only imagine what it would be like if 9 Star Wars movies existed that were at the quality of the Original Trilogy and Episode 3. It easily could be the case too.
