I think it's okay if there are no more Star Wars movies. If they can't do it right, then people won't pay them. While fan fiction can certainly go on forever, having TV shows and movies last forever is (usually) really bad. There are exceptions, here and there, like the last Godzilla movie and maybe South Park. Movies reflect the time in which they were made and released.
We are far removed now from the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. Even the first James Bond movies in the '60s were a decade after Fleming wrote most of the books. But there was enough of the Cold War left, and Connery did such an awesome job. But the decades kept rolling by, with new Bonds, new ideas on what the character should be like. And by now the whole thing is lost, just another action-drama.
Same goes for Star Wars. I have the Star Wars I like already, the Bond, Indiana Jones, Kirk and Picard. I don't need to know what they're doing in the retirement home.
