I hope that Disney will build upon the succes of the Clone Wars series, when they plan the new Star Wars (SW) movies that are expected to come out every 2-3 years. One of the great things about the Clone Wars TV-series is that it doesn't have any episode numbers.
This means that you can jump between different eras and moments within the timeline and that is why I wish that Disney will remove the Episode numbers/designation from the SW movie titles. Btw. when the original Star Wars movie was released in 1977 there was no episode number in the title nor in the opening crawl ("Episode IV - A New Hope" was added later).
Future DVD/Blueray covers should simply be versions of the original movie posters, without any Episode designation.
Star Wars (1977)
Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Star Wars - Return Of The Jedi (1983)
Star Wars - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Star Wars - Attack Of The Clones (2002)
Star Wars - Revenge Of The Sith (2005)
All existing SW movies already have well-known titles, no need for roman numerals. The next SW movie should simply be referred to as Star Wars 7, untill its title is known.
This way Disney could make new Star Wars movies about what happens to an old Luke Skywalker in the New Republic era , as well as, new movies about the Clone Wars era or the Old Republic era.
No need for the unflexible episode chronology, as the opening crawl at the beginning of each movie easily could place the movie within the Star Wars timeline.
What do you think?
