Yes, probably several if the brand remains as popular as it has always been. George Lucas, who created Star Wars, recently sold his stake in the franchise to Disney (and apparently donated the whole $4 billion to charity afterwards). Lucas will not be involved with Star Wars any more; he has said that it's time for a new generation to carry on.
The last Star Wars film was in 2005 and the next is planned by Disney for 2015, so fans will have to wait a while. The film will be based on a story that Lucas at least outlined, though no details have been released about that; it's not supposed to based on any of the Star Wars books, though.
Some fans aren't happy about Disney's acquisition of the brand and fear that quality will suffer. However, Lucas' colleague and co-chair of his company, Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy, will be president of the new company that will be behind the films, so there is continuity there.
