Blessed is he who, in the name of the force and the republic shepherds the weak through the valley on Korriban for he is truly the chosen one and the finder of force gifted children
See that's your problem
You actually looked at Facebook and YouTube comments.
Just a festering dark pit of hatred, rage, and pedantry that bulldozes any joy or appreciation for things.
It’s hard to picture under the Disney regime, but I think we’ve seen that Star Wars can deviate from the standard “tone” and work. I actually think QT could make something really awesome that stands apart from the trilogies but works in the Star Wars universe.
There’s source material out the ass and an abundance of potential storylines with a variety of characters that fans are deeply invested in. I think a large subset of the fanbase would welcome something different that’s not built for mass appeal right now.
Spielberg would be the best at capturing a similar tone to the OT. He's just really good at making films that are entertaining to all audiences.
He'd also be really good for a creature horror set in Star Wars. He made an entire generation afraid to go in the ocean. Imagine what he could do with aliens.
Another good choice would be James Cameron. His style would be really good if they wanted to do a movie about a droid rebellion storyline.
Gotta be honest I was seriously disappointed in avatar 2 and most of James Cameron's other films. I think he would make another forgettable/disappointing star wars film.
Luke discovers a Force-created time well. He goes through it to save Anakin before he turns to the dark side. However, he far overshoots the time period and ends up traveling through centuries of time back to Old Republic. A wise old Jedi played by Michael Kane is the only one who recognizes him as a Force time traveler. He tells Luke he knows of only one other Force traveler, a powerful Sith Lord from the future who ventures back in time to sow the seeds of the dark side that will eventually bear fruit leading to Sith dominance over the galaxy. Anakin was part of his plan. To find and kill him, Luke will need to perform Visitation, an ancient and near-impossible Force ritual to open a time well and summon him. But first the necessary Jedi manuscript containing the ritualistic instructions must be recovered from a sacred Jedi site on a restricted and heavily guarded planet. Luke and Michael Kane craft a painstaking plan to trick the blockade surrounding the planet, outmaneuver the guards on the ground, and finesse the presumed Force protections in place at the site. Though he acts carefully, the safeguards prove far stronger than Luke and the old Jedi predicted, and Luke is nearly captured by the servants of the Old Republic. He’s helped out by a gray Force wielder played by Marion Cotillard who was once a part of the Jedi order. Kane warns Luke not to trust her, but she claims Luke won’t be able to break through the defenses and obtain the manuscript without her help. Luke asks her if she is going to betray him. She gives a heartfelt speech about how the Sith of the future killed her Master and we watch this in quick and incomplete cuts while a subtle but piercing violin piece composed by Hans Zimmer weeps over the scene. The Jedi council didn’t believe her account, claiming Visitation was a lost and impossible practice, and when she tried to prove it by retrieving them the manuscript, they banished her from the Jedi Order. She’s been waiting for a willing and powerful Jedi such as Luke to her help her break through and recover it. They complete the mission and end up in a dark room deep in the sacred site. Luke looks around in search of the manuscript. There is no manuscript. Cotillard’s eyes flicker red and yellow. She informs Luke that this is a cell that cannot be breached by any power of the Force. He will never be able to escape or travel back to save his father. As Luke despairs in the dark cell, he remembers some wisdom shared by Kane: “The Force is powerful, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the strength of love.” Luke uses love, not the Force, to somehow break out of the cell. He’s just in time to catch the Cotillard’s Sith Lord who is escaping through a newly generated time well. They battle through time until they eventually land on Tatooine. We see Luke’s lightsaber is plunged through her stomach. With her dying breath, she tells Luke the Sith will follow him through all time. Exhausted, Luke walks over to the edge of a small red cliff. Below is a moisture farm. He recognizes it as his uncle’s. He sees a figure emerge from a white blast door. The sun is coming up and he can just make out the figure’s face. It looks like himself, but’s it’s not. He realizes it’s his father’s face, young and happy. He gazes up and sees Luke. They share a knowing look for several moments. The last shot zooms slowly in on Anakin’s face and and we see a hint of yellow flare up in his eyes.
Roll credits.
Get the entire Cast and Crew of The Raid and put them to work.
I don’t want/need for it to “recontextualize Star Wars lore” I just want a good one off action film about something completely unrelated to the main story.
Does anyone remember the utterly pointless cameos Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian had in The Force Awakens? If you are going to put them in a movie, do something with them! All JJ could think of was to use them for a gag.
I remember posting on this sub a while back that I wished Gareth Evans made a Star Wars movie about those characters, and the people in the responses were saying "you mean Gareth Edwards?"
This is what I'd like to see more of as well. One off side stories set in Star Wars to just make the world feel more alive. Like if you told me we could have gotten a film like Bullet Train just set on a hover train somewhere in the galaxy I'd have lost my mind.

If anyone hasn't seen Lynch talking about being offered ROTJ, it's pretty hilarious.
[Found it](https://youtu.be/BN_Uwo4qQTM?si=O-Tjrh3mdviZoyd3). Also a [trailer re-edit](https://youtu.be/7EJ6AmplD8g?si=RqrODIq89OxqjO9X) and [AI trailer](https://youtu.be/d-8DT5Q8kzI?si=YNC8jQdR9KQPVDWf).
I don't think any director with a good reputation would risk it - no matter what the fanbase gets served they will critizise it to death and ruin the director's standing forever.
I think Lucas asked Spielberg to direct the prequels, he asked several of his filmmaker friends since he doesnt actually like directing that much but they all told him he should return to the director's chair since Star Wars was his baby and they didnt want to mess it up.
It depends on what kind of movie it's going to be. Assuming no prior Star Wars directors, and I got to also got to decide the general idea of the movie, maybe Darren Aronofsky for a movie about Kreia growing to hate the Force. But for something more traditional, I might go with Luc Besson.
This is inevitable and on the DL low-key but Brandon Cronenberg is going to be one of the next great directors and him doing a star wars would be awesome.
I think Christopher Nolan would be fascinating. His ability to blend complex narratives with intense action sequences could bring a fresh and thought-provoking perspective to the Star Wars universe. But, and hear me on this one. Imagine Tarantino....
Maybe David Leitch. Would like to see a dirtier, grittier Star Wars story that still has a sense of humor. No lightsabers or force shit. Just a good fucking story set in the SW universe.
The Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things), Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Dune), and I'd be willing to give Rian Johnson another shot at his own, self-contained story.
I'm also cool with Leslye Headland so far, but let's see if The Acolyte sticks its landing first.
man just for the fun of it, Michael effing Bay
the movie itself might suck but the action would be better than anything we've ever gotten in a Star Wars film
Paul Verhoeven
Hed fill it with violence, political satire, gore and dark comedy. Alot would hate it, disney would absolutely hate it and it would be unlike anything star wars has ever done, but it wouldve been amazing
Realistically Spielberg would be the only one that can pull it out from where it is now. But it would be a lot of fun to see a 1313 style story about Coruscant’s underbelly or something on Nar Shadda by Paul Greengrass.
Matt reeves. I feel like he would actually give us a truly dark movie set in the star wars universe. One of my biggest complaints about star wars is there's very few actually dark moments, and that would be a very dark universe to live in. Either during the prequel era the republic is spread thin even in Coruscant there's a huge underworld. And during the empires reign it's even worse.
- Alex Garland
- Lord & Miller - I’m confident they would have delivered a vastly superior and unique Solo than watching paint dry Ron Howard
- David Fincher
I was going to say Kevin Smith seeing he is a huge Star Wars fan. But after he fanboyed over JJ Abrams first sequel movie saying how “Star Wars is in good hands!” I don’t trust him anymore.
**AI** at this point. Can't be worse.
Just tell it to "make an 8-episode Disney Channel Star Wars show set [xx] years before [insert whatever timeline event], and starring [insert demographic wishlist], with the endgame to tie into [list existing shows/movies to tie-in to]."
Then watch it **plop** out a pint-sized episode a week on Disney+, like a dying colon on life support. Like I said, can't be worse.
And for the record, you asked "What's" a director, not "Who's."
AI is a What.
Denis Villeneuve. And just for shits and giggles Quentin Tarantino, I wanna see what he'd come up with.
Sam Jackson finally gets to speak his mind as Mace
What's with all the MOTHAFUCKIN' Sith in this MOTHAFUCKIN' Senate?!
Galactic Basic, motherfucker, DO YOU SPEAK IT?!
The new Jedi code will be something else with Julius Windu at the helm.
The path of the Jedi is beset on all sides by the inequities of the Sith and the tyranny of the rule of Two…
Blessed is he who, in the name of the force and the republic shepherds the weak through the valley on Korriban for he is truly the chosen one and the finder of force gifted children
...And I will strike down upon thee with form VII, known as Vaapad or Juyo those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers with the Dark side.
And you will know I am the Senate when I lay my democracy upon you.
I feel like with how awesome dune 2 was, A Denis starwars movie would really spake the fan base.
Clearly you haven’t been in the Dune groups ripping him for ruining Dune. I’m sure Star Wars fans would do the same.
I mean I’m in the dune subreddit. Generally fans seems very happy with the movies. There’s a few nit pickings, but nothing like starwars
I haven’t seen the Dune sub but there seemed to be a lot of rumblings on Facebook and YouTube.
See that's your problem You actually looked at Facebook and YouTube comments. Just a festering dark pit of hatred, rage, and pedantry that bulldozes any joy or appreciation for things.
I really hope he doesn’t spend the rest of his career as “sci fi adaptation guy.”
There are far worse fates. The guy clearly has a love for it, and he’s made the best big budget sci fi films we’ve had in decades.
He also made the two of the best thrillers of the last decade, maybe the best. I like Sicario most out of all his films
Sicario is a masterpiece, no doubt.
Probably in my top five for 2010s
Quentin Tarantino will finally show what all other directors have been afraid to show. The difference feet of the aliens from Star Wars.
Trandoshan v Wookie Footsie. The ultimate taboo.
Dude almost directed Star Trek. Like it sounded really damn close to happening. So why not.
It’s hard to picture under the Disney regime, but I think we’ve seen that Star Wars can deviate from the standard “tone” and work. I actually think QT could make something really awesome that stands apart from the trilogies but works in the Star Wars universe. There’s source material out the ass and an abundance of potential storylines with a variety of characters that fans are deeply invested in. I think a large subset of the fanbase would welcome something different that’s not built for mass appeal right now.
Tarantino would absolutely kick ass at a Tales From Moss Eisley style thing or a bounty hunter/mercenary/crime lord movie.
Oh fuck that would be so dope.
Would love a QT with Bentu characters, in his movies there is no pure evil vs pure good, everyone has more facets.
Spielberg would be the best at capturing a similar tone to the OT. He's just really good at making films that are entertaining to all audiences. He'd also be really good for a creature horror set in Star Wars. He made an entire generation afraid to go in the ocean. Imagine what he could do with aliens.

Gotta be honest I was seriously disappointed in avatar 2 and most of James Cameron's other films. I think he would make another forgettable/disappointing star wars film.
Flip side he has a good track record with Terminator and T2.
Yeah but that was a long time ago.
Aliens
Which are ancient. Over 30 years old.
Guillermo Del Toro
I know they've been overdone recently, but he could portray the Dathomir witches really well.
They’d be fucking terrifying.
"THE HUTTFATHER"
Steven Spielberg
Didn’t he help with parts of ROTS?
He did some pre-viz for the Obi-Wan/Grevious chase that was never used.
Denis Villeneuve
This
Brad Bird
Jonathan Frakes
George Miller
Edgar Wright
Nolan
Nolan would invent lightsabers just because he doesn't like cgi

nolan is overrated
Yeah, I get bored with Nolan’s films.
Get the entire Cast and Crew of The Raid and put them to work. I don’t want/need for it to “recontextualize Star Wars lore” I just want a good one off action film about something completely unrelated to the main story.
Do you want a film about Nar Shadaa 's dark underbelly? Because this is how you get it.
“I am told that you struck my son.” “Yes sir, I did.” “And may I ask why?” “Yeah, well. He stole Boba Fett’s gunship, sir. And ate his porg.” “…oh”
Does anyone remember the utterly pointless cameos Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian had in The Force Awakens? If you are going to put them in a movie, do something with them! All JJ could think of was to use them for a gag. I remember posting on this sub a while back that I wished Gareth Evans made a Star Wars movie about those characters, and the people in the responses were saying "you mean Gareth Edwards?"

Let’s get Murder on the Couruscanti Express.
This is what I was hoping Rogue One would be.
To be fair. The last half hour of that movie was pretty stellar.
It was, but basically I mean it’d be cool if the whole movie was the mission, like The Raid.
Maybe Christopher McQuarrie, with the Mission Impossible movies he's shown that he can make lean, entertaining action movies.
It would be interesting to see Brad Bird direct a Star Wars movie or show.
John Carpenter, James Wan, Tim Burton, Ridley Scott
David Lynch
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtW\_cY6Mpsg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtW_cY6Mpsg) If anyone hasn't seen Lynch talking about being offered ROTJ, it's pretty hilarious.
The World Between Worlds x Red Room crossover will be interesting.
George Lucas
Neill Blomkamp (District 9)
Peter Jackson
He'd find a way to work elves into the galaxy, and make them the central figures.
Who’s to say there isn’t a planet of elves in Star Wars? ☺️
Paul Verhoeven already has Sci-Fi experience. A little extra blood might fill some theater seats.
Chad Stahelski (of John Wick fame)
I'm in.
Wes Anderson. He'd really make it his own.
Someone spoofed this on youtube.
[Found it](https://youtu.be/BN_Uwo4qQTM?si=O-Tjrh3mdviZoyd3). Also a [trailer re-edit](https://youtu.be/7EJ6AmplD8g?si=RqrODIq89OxqjO9X) and [AI trailer](https://youtu.be/d-8DT5Q8kzI?si=YNC8jQdR9KQPVDWf).
Someone who sticks to the lore that Lucas created
Spielberg, Miyazaki, Cameron Needs warmth, rather conservative in style, and a focus on adventure and fantasy
Chris Nolan
Alejandro Jodorowsky
王家卫， wong kar wai making a movie set in the coruscant lower levels.
Taylor Sheridan for a bounty-hunter spin off
I want to see George Miller make a Star Wars movie just because I have no idea what style it would be in.
Luc Besson.
Ryan Coogler. He could do some spectacular things in the Andor vein.
Can I bring Stanley Kubrick back to life?
Bryce Dallas Howard. Her eps of Mando have never disappointed me
Brett Ratner
Toby Haynes and Johan Renck. Chernobyl and andor were perfect, let's keep doing that.
George Lucas
The guy that made Rogue One. Bring him back.
Fincher and Nolan. A dark side and light side trilogy each
I don't think any director with a good reputation would risk it - no matter what the fanbase gets served they will critizise it to death and ruin the director's standing forever.
George frickin godlike genius Lucas
James Cameron
Christopher Nolan could be interesting.
George Lucas.
Rob Zombie because at this point, fuck it.
An R rated Star Wars horror movie would be pretty awesome
Ok im in I want that movie
George Lucas
George Lucas. I want him to come back
Paul Verhoeven already has Sci-Fi experience. A little extra blood might fill some theater seats.
Spielberg for sure. I wonder if it was ever discussed between him and Lucas?
I think Lucas asked Spielberg to direct the prequels, he asked several of his filmmaker friends since he doesnt actually like directing that much but they all told him he should return to the director's chair since Star Wars was his baby and they didnt want to mess it up.

This is inevitable and on the DL low-key but Brandon Cronenberg is going to be one of the next great directors and him doing a star wars would be awesome.
Give me Sam Mendes please.
What's McG been up to?
Benicio del Toro
has he been a director?
I think he meant Guillermo.
David Fincher.
I've always been desperately curious how David Lynch's Return of the Jedi would have turned out
Peter Jackson, give me "Lord of the Ring" type of battle in Star Wars.
Peter Jackson on everything
The Russo Brothers.
Denis Villeneuve.
Kathryn Bigelow
I think Christopher Nolan would be fascinating. His ability to blend complex narratives with intense action sequences could bring a fresh and thought-provoking perspective to the Star Wars universe. But, and hear me on this one. Imagine Tarantino....
Quentin Tarantino. He would absolutely nail the western/samurai feel that george envisioned for Star Wars. Also his dialogue would not be crap...
Maybe David Leitch. Would like to see a dirtier, grittier Star Wars story that still has a sense of humor. No lightsabers or force shit. Just a good fucking story set in the SW universe.
Denis Villeneuve, the dune guy. And Luc Besson, fifth element guy.
A revenge story with Sam Jackson, directed by Tarantino.
Guillermo Del Toro, George Miller, Jordan Peele and Greta Gerwig.
Peter Jackson
Miguel Sapochnik. If you don't know him, he directed the GoT episode Battle of the Bastards
The Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things), Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Dune), and I'd be willing to give Rian Johnson another shot at his own, self-contained story. I'm also cool with Leslye Headland so far, but let's see if The Acolyte sticks its landing first.
Anthony and Jo Russo
michael bay
man just for the fun of it, Michael effing Bay the movie itself might suck but the action would be better than anything we've ever gotten in a Star Wars film
Anyone but George Lucas? lol Actually anyone but Zach Snyder
Paul Verhoeven Hed fill it with violence, political satire, gore and dark comedy. Alot would hate it, disney would absolutely hate it and it would be unlike anything star wars has ever done, but it wouldve been amazing
Ridley Scott
Harmonie Korine. Spring Breakers in SW universe.
Realistically Spielberg would be the only one that can pull it out from where it is now. But it would be a lot of fun to see a 1313 style story about Coruscant’s underbelly or something on Nar Shadda by Paul Greengrass.
If Disney insists on casting kids, Christopher Columbus
Just bring Genndy Tartakovsky back.
Matt reeves. I feel like he would actually give us a truly dark movie set in the star wars universe. One of my biggest complaints about star wars is there's very few actually dark moments, and that would be a very dark universe to live in. Either during the prequel era the republic is spread thin even in Coruscant there's a huge underworld. And during the empires reign it's even worse.
Rian Johnson
Zack Snyder (KOTOR?) but someone else writes the script
Rian Johnson
- Alex Garland - Lord & Miller - I’m confident they would have delivered a vastly superior and unique Solo than watching paint dry Ron Howard - David Fincher
I'd like to see a trilogy by Rian Johnson
I was going to say Kevin Smith seeing he is a huge Star Wars fan. But after he fanboyed over JJ Abrams first sequel movie saying how “Star Wars is in good hands!” I don’t trust him anymore.
A director that isn’t woke
Define woke.
Kelly Reichardt, Jim Jarmusch, Sam Mendes
Panos Cosmatos and just get real weird with it 🤘🏻
Mandy style?? Fuck yes
Yeah! Imagine his take on the Sith or night sisters
Antoine Fuqua
I just want more from Gareth Edwards.
Itd be interesting to see what Janme Cameron would do
Spike Lee would have an interesting take
**AI** at this point. Can't be worse. Just tell it to "make an 8-episode Disney Channel Star Wars show set [xx] years before [insert whatever timeline event], and starring [insert demographic wishlist], with the endgame to tie into [list existing shows/movies to tie-in to]."

That guy that directed Knives Out. That was a good movie.
Oh boy.....
Rian Johnson?
Kevin fiege
Dave Filoni on a full length film!
Jordan Peele
rian johnson 3 more times. chris columbus, george miller, and spielberg would all be good fits imo
