It's technically true, although "never" is stretching it since he did
indeed have such potential plans just before he sold out to Disney.
Originally George Lucas simply had a vague story. He had no real idea
how many movies it would need nor how many he would make. There were
reports of him saying six, nine, twelve, but he had no idea and no real
plan.
The original "Star Wars" movie was made as a single film that could
stand by itself because he didn't know whether or not he would be able
to make any more. It's success caused him to plan and write two more
movies, and that was the end of the fully written story and there were
no real plans to make more movies.
As he was writing each of the stories films, George Lucas also created
huge backstories, but only as vague outlines and there were no actual
plans to make any of it into movies.
Then, years later, he decided to make more movies. So taking that vague
story outline he planned and wrote the backstory trilogy which were the
prequels. Again, that was the end of the fully written story and no
real plans to make more movies.
Then, years later, he again decided to make more movies. So taking that
vague story outline he planned and started writing a sequel trilogy.
Then he sold out to Disney, who brought in the over-egoed JJ ABrams who
didn't like George Lucas' story, didn't like the screenwriter brought
in Disney hired, so wrote his own story (using parts of George Lucas'
and the screenwriters stories, and adding his own).
