NO Nolan, no Whedon, no Abrams. I would also be fine with Brad Bird, David Yates, Joel Cohen & Ethan Coen, Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher, Darren Aronofsky, Cameron Crowe, Marc Foster, Andrew Niccol, Antoine Fuqua and Michael Mann, Guillermo del Toro, Joe Cornish, Gore Verbinski, Guy Ritchie, Edgar Wright, Shane Black or the Russo brothers. Star Wars doesn't need Nolan, Abrams, Singer, Raimi, or Ratner with all these other great directors available.
