A list of directors who would be better choices than the no-names Disney is currently hiring

I wrote the same thing in a different thread, but George Lucas, Irvin Kershner, and Richard Marquand at the times they made the OT are nothing like the people you listed, and significantly more like all of the hired directors. Take a look at their IMDB profiles. Goerge is very like Rian Johnson, just a couple of features, and only one Sci Fi, Irvin is very like the Lego movie guys, quite a few features, mostly comedies and no sci-fi, some tv experience, and again, Richard Marquand had only a couple of features, one of which was a music tour like movie about the beatles. Do they really sound like heavy hitters? Do they sound like the go-to hollywood guys? And they made the most beloved movies in the series.

Also, I don't know why everyone is on the David Fincher and especailly Guillermo Del Toro train. I love those guys, but they have incredibly strong/unique visions. I could see them tackling something like Knights of the Old Republic, where it is okay to really push the boundries, but anything in the main Saga should look like the main Saga, not something so unique it isn't familiar.
