Yup,
that is confirmation. Thanks Relique!
This is going to be interesting. I wonder how visually different they're going to be compared to the originals...and the prequels. Hopefully though, and ironically considering who now owns the franchise, maybe they can avoid the more "Disney" like aspects that Lucas couldn't restrain himself from including (Jar Jar, Gungans, other cartoonish races and characters, remastering the originals and adding more silly digital muppet moments, etc.); but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Also, if the stories go back to Dagobah at all, I wonder if the Jungle planet will include a smoke monster...
