I don't think it will happen in his lifetime, but there is no reason that driving enough dump trucks full of money to his heirs they might agree.
Based on my observations of remakes here is what it would look like :
1) Redesign everything. New Falcon, droids, styles etc. Maybe they'll go retro and instead of the "lived in" feel of the OT, we'll get something more Logan's Run or 30's serial.
2) Fix the characters. It wouldn't be beyond the writers to change the characters from the bottom up. Tall, leggy blonde Leia, female Chewbacca, Asian Han Solo etc ...
3) Bigger, faster, better : More Explosions, bigger Death Star in a completely new configuration. No more swinging over a pit, it's going to be radiation filled deathtrap and the Stormtroopers won't be just guys who can't shoot straight, they'll be a Terminator's nightmare (except when it comes to the heroes ...)
4) Replotting, reimagining, new ideas because that is creativity in Hollywood. Major changes, new twists.
Bottom line, we'll see a new SW film around 2050+ and it will probably be bad enough for the old timers to remember old Uncle George and how his films were better.
