5. Ridley Scott- Alien, Blade Runner and now Prometheus, Ridley Scott is a Sci-Fi genius. Now his tone is usually more gritty than Star Wars' style but maybe that's what the new trilogy needs, to move away from the prequels and the Clone Wars that are geared towards kids and instead make it aimed at adults. The chances of him directing is actually higher than some of the others on this list, with only Prometheus 2 on the line for him it is possible, but I strong doubt Disney will choose him to direct and likewise I doubt he'd want to.
4. Joe Johnston- In case you don't know who that is let me give you a couple hints: Captain America, Jumanji, Jurassic Park 3. Yeah that guy but his experience with those movies aren't why I picked him but rather his connection to Lucas. He worked on all three of the original trilogy movies either as an art director or designer, and Lucas himself put him through film school. He could easily capture the feeling of the original trilogy and won't let fans down. On my list he is actually the most likely to direct and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Disney does choose him to direct.
3. Josh Whedon- The guy took four separate franchises and put them together perfectly to make the best superhero movie of the summer if not all time, not to mention his work on Firefly so sci-fi isn't out of his comfort zone. Whedon would do an amazing job with Star Wars he knows how to get the feel of different movies together, he could take what's best from each trilogy and make it seem perfect. He also could bring the little bit of humor back to Star Wars that the original trilogy had (look at the Avengers perfect balance of Action and Humor). Unfortunately he is the least likely to direct, his work with Avengers 2 and overseeing all of Marvel's phase 2 of movies, he just won't have the time to pump out two huge movies both for summer 2015, it's just not possible.
2. J.J. Abrams- I know what some of you are thinking, that's all we need lightsaber lens flares but hey Abrams is an amazing director look what he did with Star Trek.Not only did he find a way to have loyal fans love his new franchise, but he also roped in a new group of fans for Star Trek, all while making it his own. He could easily do the same for Star Wars, plus he LOVES Star Wars (He even snuck R2D2 into the Star Trek movie) so he would work his hardest to make it flawless. However, if he ditched Star Trek for Star Wars there would be a huge uproar from Trekkies so I really doubt he'll direct either, but he loves Star Wars enough for me not to count him out.And the person who I would want to direct Star Wars VII most is.....
1. Peter Jackson- Jackson is a man of the fans and that's what Star Wars needs. Before Lord of the Rings had movies they still had a huge fan base that was uncertain when it was announced they would be making movies (much like Star Wars fans are now). But Jackson gave them the movie they were hopping for and adapted the books almost perfectly. He knows how huge a franchise like Star Wars is and would do everything in his power to make it perfect. My only consern with him is his lack of experience in the area of sci-fi but i think he could pull it off. I strongly doubt he will rush the Hobbit to do Star Wars though so right now he's just a dream.So there it is guys my list of directors, please comment below and let me know you're ideas or thoughts on mine. Have a good weekend see you all Monday with a little review...
