Well let's see, there's George Lucas, Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, and I suppose Joss. BUT, someone has to tell him to leave the "in space" sounds in. That laser "pew" is iconic. Then there's whoever directed Dexter. That show is AMAZING.
Oh, or Bioware, SWTOR got that perfect feel to it.
That's because The Old Republic is a palette swap away from being the films. Lazy art style if you ask me. Even their earlier KOTOR managed to be visually distinct while still retaining the Star Wars feel.

Does anybody know if its going to be a sequel to return of the Jedi or is it going to be a prequel to the prequels?

David Lynch. He would make the ultimate dark side movie.

Edit: I would also accept Alejandro Jodorowsky. Just imagine the scope this guy could bring to the force.

Quentin Tarantino. After the last three debacles I say anything goes. At worst we'll bee a lot of bloodshed, wookie rapists, and maybe there'll be some slick but long-winded dialogue. At best it will be his magnum opus, and we will never view the franchise in the same light again.

Fun fact, Tarantino's Pulp Fiction is a Viacom film, Viacom is a Disney property.

Rodriguez would be a fabulous choice too, but I imagine there'd be a lot of race jokes that would either be ill-fitting or much too lore based to make sense to anyone but the most stalwart fans.

Realistically, can't say who because most directors either piss me off or just seem wrong. The Wachowski's? Nope. Bay? HELL NO! Boll? Might be fun, couldn't be any more tragic than what Lucas did to it.

What about Jon Favreau. He's already done voice work for The Clone Wars, and he directed Iron Man 1 and 2.

Or what about Joe Johnston? That would be awesome.

Wait have I missed something? Have they confirmed they are making a new star wars movie? Or is this thread just "what if" speculation?


Because at this point it is just animal cruelty. She doesn't any more milk left to give, leave her alone.

Well if its called episode 7 then it should be a sequel , should be grand admiral Thrawn and friends.

Joss wheedon to write the screenplay and direct the film overall with Zack Snyder running the second unit handling fight scenes and beauty shots.

Episode VI was Return of the Jedi - I'm sure you can work it out from there. ;)

No one. I'm not saying that Disney should not make Star Wars movies. But they need to separate their Star Wars product from Lucas'. Episodes 1 thru 6 chronicle the life of Anakin Skywalker from the first notable events in his life in Phantom Menace until his death in Jedi. There's no "episode 7" left to tell, that story is over. Disney needs to realize how much freedom there is now that they have the entire "universe" of Star Wars to tell stories in. As long as they stay away from Lucas' stories and maintain the atmosphere and tone of those stories... "there's always money in the banana stand."

And yes, the "Lucas" stories include staying away from the Expanded Universe stuff as well. I read most of the novels until NJO, and then couldn't stay interested. But doing book to movie adaptation for the next however many movies would be a terrible mistake. Far better to take it in a completely new direction.

With whatever director... it makes no difference. Kershner directed Empire, after directing "Eyes of Laura Mars" which were both really good movies. And then went on to direct the WORST James Bond movie ever and Robocop 2 directly after. Marquand directed Jedi, and a few other movies (most good) but wasn't very prolific.

So it doesn't take anyone that special to direct Star Wars, it's all about the writers.

Forget the movies, I'm still waiting for that live action tv show they promised. That was set between 3 and 4 and I believe took place in Corousant, let me have that please.

If they really want to make that next movie, maybe get the Pirates of the Carribean guy Gore Verbinsky. He managed to be both silly and gritty AND complex. I liked it a lot.

Verbinsky is a really interesting suggestion. I'm enclined to agree with everyone else though and say Joss Whedon, but I think I'd prefer Peter Jackson to helm the production. We know how he feels about trilogies.

My immediate thought when i heard the news was they better just go out of their mind crazy and let Tarantino write and direct it just so we can get Samuel L Jackson come back as Mace Windu saying im sick of these MF midichlorines in this MF galaxy far far away

I think Peter Jackson or Christopher Nolan would be the ideal choice for it however I hope this movie isn't kiddy and Disney learns from past mistakes in the franchise *cough* Jar Jar Binks...
