8 Years is probably right:

EP1 = 1999 release
EP3 = 2005 release

They'll probably want to sell EP3 sets for at least a couple of years, so,
let's say through the end of 2006

1999 to 2006  = 8 years.   Maybe longer, could go through 2007 easily using
TLG's 2 years of production schema.  And, it could have actually started in
1998, when TLG and Lucas probably started negotiations.  So, it could
easily, in actuality, be a 10 year license.
