   The now mythical Third Trilogy of the Star Wars Saga movies was going   
   to be about Luke going off to find his sister and together they would   
   defeat the Emperor, so it has nothing to do with a third generation.   
      
   BUT, if you take the follow-on novels into account, then you do indeed   
   have a third generation in Han and Leia's children.
