Disclaimer: The following is in the interest of fairness:

Much like trying to fit ANH, Empire, and Jedi into one screenplay, this intent seems great but implausible. While I have limited "screenplay" experience, this would end up being either split up or more rushed than the trilogy he ended up making.

I say this because the events of RotS should have fit into two movies, but the second one was dragged out so horribly that there was no chance of that. Lucas has the same flaw many people who become demigods in our society posess: Lack of editorial process. People just fellate him for everything he does now. He's rich enough that he doesn't need to take advice. He's "brilliant" enough to get away with it.

The original series benefitted from a lot of criticism. The "prequels" did not.
