Five Directors Who Should Take On Star Wars: Episode 7

Christopher Nolan

Maybe it’s become impossible to make a list of dream directors for any film without including Christopher Nolan, but just look what the man did with Batman, taking it from the ruins of Batman And Robin to one of the coolest and most well-made trilogies of all time. So why not let him take on this trilogy and make Star Wars better than it’s ever been?

His realistic take on Batman is just what fans want right now for any film. The industry is moving away from fun spectacle into gritty realism, and these Star Wars films should be no exception. Nolan is no stranger to fantasy, bringing realistic vibes to not only superhero movies, but films about sharing dreams and magicians as well. There’s no reason he couldn’t do the same thing in a galaxy far, far away.

He’s shown that he can work on a huge budget film, and his name alone would be enough that there would be few complaints about him at the helm of any film. Nolan would, without a doubt, be an excellent choice for Disney.

So that’s my list, but there are certainly a ton of other directors who would be great at the helm of Star Wars: Episode 7.
