Seriously though they'll probably just have Rian Johnson do it, assuming the present movie isn't a total disaster.

I sort of think Rian J sucks incidentally, although not nearly as bad as Teverrow.

Looper was garbage.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

Birth Movies Death floated the idea of Jon Favreau, which isn't terrible. He's well-versed in big effects movies, and between The Jungle Book and The Lion King has established a pretty solid working relationship with Disney. Plus, he's known to be an actor's director, and allow for experimentation on set, which kind of reminds me of Irvin Kirschner a bit.

That's all MGRising which Kojima didn't do much with.

Episode IX will be Kylo Ren attaching Anakin's arms to replace his own and pretending he's possessed by Darth Vader's force ghost.

Then Snoke grabs Poe Dameron's dick.

He did some voice acting on The Clone Wars and hinted at his desire to do a SW movie back when Disney acquired the franchise. Also: "“The idea of another trilogy that further shrouds the Force in mystery as its secrets are lost to time – that’s extremely compelling. I want so bad for it to be good. Can you imagine?” I'd be fine with him.

Others:

Is Brad Bird still knee deep in The Incredibles sequel?

Same question about the Russo brothers, how long are they going to be doing the Infinity War movies? Probably wouldn't want to dive right into another high-pressure blockbuster that quickly...

Was Warcraft enough to cancel out Moon and Source Code for Duncan Jones?

I wouldn't mind seeing what Ang Lee would do with it.

Cuaron would be awesome.

Ava Duvernay is intriguing, I've not seen any of her movies but the Wrinkle in Time trailer got my attention big time.

Obviously Cameron would be insane, but he's doing Avatar sequels until the heat death of the universe.

From what I remember Brad Bird, Matthew Vaughn, and Gullerimo Del Toro were all on Kennedys shortlist and did interviews before all three bowed out and they had to quickly sign JJ. Del Toro said he wasn't interested but I really hope they can get Bird or Vaughn. Jon Faverou wouldn't be a bad choice though Iron Man 2 and Jungle Book had good visuals but were weak sauce overall.

Rian Johnson or JA Bayonna would be solid choices.

They should get a good storyteller who works with lots of practical effects.

Fincher said he would only do it if he could make it about droid slavery. That chain of events ends with star wars discussion threads being banned from CineD. which, thinking on it, would be good.

This musical chairs of directors is gonna make for a really incoherent series going forward, I really wish they'd figured out a way to lock in a decent director for at least a complete trilogy. It's the kind of thing that may not show itself right away but when we look back at the 3 or 5 or 8 or 100 Star Wars movies from this era I think the dissonance will be very noticeable.
