get peter jackson to do a knights of the old republic trilogy.or even further back than that.have any of the books gone right back to the start? i belive the whole saga is meant to start 32000 years before the first film.

If Peter Jackson directed it, it would probably be 32000 hours long :yawn:
Definitely Peter Jackson! He is a huge Star Wars fan and he is the one man who knows how to create an EPIC trilogy! I'd have every faith in Peter doing it! Plus he knows George!
the question is - should it be someone who's already done big blockbuster types , or someone who hasn't , but who could bring an enthusiasm rather than play-by-numbers .

Good point. A bold, fresh approach would certainly be for the best here.
However, if you look at other franchises, you can see another problem emerge - namely, how much of a personal stamp can the director put on it?
Some (Alien and M:I, say) often put high stylists at the helm, who can bring heir own vision to the proceedings. Results vary, of course, but I've always thought this was the right idea. Others (Bond, say) generally draw in journeymen for a solid, respectful result where nothing major marks them out from the others. A house style, almost.
I too think a Peter Jackson Star Wars would be great idea, but would they allow it to be Peter Jackson's Star Wars?
As you might have heard, this Disney/Lucasfilm deal may (or may not) have been prompted by Disney's recent failings in kick-starting a fantasy franchise of their own after Pirates. Tron, Prince of Persia and John Carter have all gone sideways...(yeah, yeah, I know, SW is a different matter).
Still. They're going to have be smart about this. And 2015? Too soon?

Would definitely pay to watch that.

In the style of Naked!
on a more 'serious' note, I think David Fincher would get the 'tone' right.
Joss Whedon for me too, at least the dialogue would better.
I think he'll be busy with Avengers 2 though:(
Or...for the lulz....Quentin Tarrentino.
*ducks for cover*
I'd like to see a GDT "Star Wars" as well, but Del Toro's
probably too offbeat to get the directing gig.
Christopher Nolan?

Well - the way some of the characters acted in Prometheus, would put Jar-Jar Binks to shame - so why not
Shame because I thought Prometheus was outstanding.
