New Star Wars Movie Set for 2015

I honestly think every director everywhere is too scared to take a stand and direct this movie.

Cause if they fail, they'll be hated forever. As mediocre as the prequels were, they were still made by Lucas the original creator, so people go a little easier on him and mostly just shake their head in dissapointment. But whoever this new guy is, he's got alot of weight on him and millions of fans ready to tear him apart if things go wrong.
 
Valid point, Sky.

I'm not sure who would be a good fit to direct this new SW movie franchise endeavor. Like really, anyone short of Micheal Bay could probably do a better job than the Prequels Lucas kicked out. But, the fact that they've got Larry Kasdan onboard for subsequent movies and production is good stuff. Kershner may be dead, but Kasdan was one of the guys that made ESB the movie it was.
 
Depends on how tight Disney's hold on him is. No matter how good the director is. If they don't do as they're told they'll be replaced with someone who will be a puppet.

Hopefully they'll do what they did with the Avengers.
