And wrong
From certain point of view
Ehh, Kathryn Bigelow is above Star Wars at this point. Post Strange Days I'd have suggested it, but at this point I prefer that she keeps making great intelligent adult films than doing a toy-extravaganza summer blockbuster. Her style and tone no longer fit that kind of movie, it'd be going backwards for her.
Now David Fincher, who's being rumoured now, would knock it out of the park. Man's a perfectionist and knows the right way to use effects. I'd have said there's no way in hell they'd use him, and that's probably still the case, but he does have a relationship at disney with his 40,000 leagues project, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.
My money says they're gonna play it safe and get Favreau or Vaughn, even though I think that's a lame and not very exciting choice.

Not from mine in the context of what I meant. I was referring to the Presidential debates where it appeared that Mitt flip-flopped from one sentence to another. It was a joke

What's context have to do with it?
No, I followed you just fine
I won't drag politics in to this

Don't look too much...you'll go blind
I think a case could be made for both sides, but I'm also probably the most conservative user on DiF, now that they let me out of my cage

The problem with perfectionists is that they go down the wrong path at pretty much the same rate as non-perfectionists. They just drive everyone crazy while they do.
Fincher is hit-and-miss with me. I love a lot of Kubrick stuff, but not because of his perfectionism. And I adore Hitchcock's stuff in spite of his not being a perfectionist.
I say Steven Spielberg is the obvious choice. Indiana Jones 5 should be shelved.
I'm personally at the point where announcing Spielberg as the director would make me lose interest.
I sort of agree, because I feel he'd make the same mistake as the prequels and skew it too far towards little kids. On the other hand, even if I haven't enjoyed his movies as a whole since probably War of the Worlds, it has to be said that he can still direct the shit out of a set piece better than almost anyone. Even in Crystal Skull, if you look at the Jungle chase and ignore the shit like the monkeys that I'm convinced Lucas threw in there, the actual blocking and pacing of that chase are excellent, very clear geography, a sense of build with characters jumping all over the place, very dynamic staging, a very rare thing nowadays (Only thing that comes to mind that hits in that zone is the openings of Casino Royale and now Skyfall). And then in Tin Tin, which is also mediocre, there's a kick-ass single-take motorcycle chase and a really cool pirate battle.
So I unquestionably think he's still got it, and with the control that Disney would have over the script, I think it could still be really good.
Either way though, he's flat out said he will never do it, out of loyalty to George, and I don't think he has interest in that universe at this point.
Joe Cornish who directed Attack The Block should direct one of the movies because of this-

Yeah, I agree with this, simply because I am hoping to see a new take, not Spielberg take on it. I respect him as a director, but clearly it is time for a new direction and Spielberg is not it, in my opinion.
Wow...Sam, just...wow
However, as the DiF crew pointed out on the ROTS commentary, we never see the body, so bring Mace back. He can be like Rham Kota from The Force Unleashed, drunk and pissed off at the Empire and Luke has to train him again.
If they bring back Samuel L Jackson, then I'm out. Hopefully Disney realises that he was a horribly miscast actor playing a horribly underdeveloped and boring character who spent most of the time holding the stupid ball.
I'd feel safe, but I've just seen the Clone Wars episodes where they incomprehensibly bring back Darth Maul.

I'd be more concerned if they brought him back WITHOUT realizing he was a horribly miscast actor playing a horribly underdeveloped and boring character who spent most of the time holding the stupid ball.
At least if they know about it, then they can fix it, and anyone with half a brain cell would rewrite Windu into the badass motherfucker he should be.

*sigh*
Sorry, this was precisely why a) Windu is a horrible character, and b) Jackson was micast. The words 'badass motherfucker' and 'jedi master' shouldn't ever be uttered in the same sentence. This was what Lucas and Jackson failed to see when they were making the PT and the same kind of bullshit that led to Yoda using a lightsabre and becoming 'Yo-da-man'.
Forget the corny Anakin courtship dialogue, lines like "This party's over" are what makes AOTC the worst of the prequels.
"DESCRIBE WHAT MASTER YODA LOOKS LIKE!"
"he's...he's...he's green"
"GO ON!"
"he's small"
"DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?!"
Quick bump for some maybe old news but apparently the live action TV show is in process:

That article is dated May 2011. We've known for some time that there is plenty of footage just sitting on the shelf.

Oops.
Never mind...I hate being out of the loop
