Now we can really have a Star Wars/Muppets crossover.....wait.
And Avengers.
George Lucas, a Hollywood icon known for exercising control over the most minute details of the fictional universe he created, will remain as a creative consultant on LucasFilm productions.
POTENTIAL DIRECTORS FOR EP7:
Joss Whedon
Ridley Scott
Neill Blomkamp
Kathryn Bigalow
Steven Spielberg (Hey, you never know)

but imagine the possibilities, Ridley Scott would be cool too.Whedon is busy with Avengers

if you think about Lucas told us he was done, he probably was calculating what was his best option to sell to and then announce it. This will be great because as much as i loved the prequels the OT had one film directed by Lucas and the other were great as well.Damn this came out of freaking left field!![]()

I´m extremely scared of an episode 7 in some strange person´s hands, sorry. I dont have a great feeling about this one![]()
And Avengers.

I am a fan of how Whedon creates his characters and creates an ensemble cast, he did this great with Buffy and Angel and more recently with Avengers. He'd be great in which all the character would get a good deal of screen time. I have a feeling Lucas will pick a director.Im actually not a fan of Whedon...and Whedon already tried to do Star Wars it was called Firefly.
To be honest I cant think of anyone I'd think would be awesome for this. Ridley Scott doesnt seem to be a right fit. I could be wrong.
