When I heard that this rumor had started at Cinefantastique, I discounted it
immediately.  This publication has an unaccountable grudge against Lucasfilm,
and anything they say is suspect.  Nevertheless, I checked the rumor out with
two independent sources at Lucasfilm.  While neither source is an ultimate
authority (i.e. not George or Steven), both were people in positions where I
would expect them to have definitive knowledge.  Both sources denied any knowledge
of any planned SW production.  Neither could state certainly that a production would
not be undertaken in the future, but for the moment it appears that nothing is
in the works.  (Note that neither source said that no SW movie was in the works,
only that they knew of none.  Presumably this doesn't include the already announced
Ewok TV movie, due for broadcast in November.)
