Tom Stoppard as the writer and Tsui Hark directing.

What? Did you ever see the horror of A Better Tomorrow III? John Woo maybe, just for a smuggler played by Lord Yun-Fat.

My overall choice is still Ridley Scott, but I fully back Gilliam who is 100% unlikely to ever even be considered.

Huh? You wouldnt want Tsui Hark because of one bad movie? (i havent seen ABT III) The guy has made some really good movies. He wouldn't be my first choice, but a Tsui Hark Star Wars movie would be a blast, for sure.

And as for Ridley Scott, his best movie was in 1979 and he's been pretty hit or miss since then. Blade Runner was really good, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down were pretty good, Prometheus was worth watching I guess, and then he's got a bunch of mediocre to absolute crap movies. (Robin Hood, for example was atrocious). I'm not saying he wouldn't make a good SW movie, but just looking at his filmography he would be way down on my list.
