How's that?

I only have so many characters to work with.

Such an amazing group of directors. Also I think episode IX will be directed by Brad Bird since he was the first choice to direct VII. Unless of course he in the middle of production on another film.

I am very excited and happy for Rian Johnson. I know he'll knock it out of the booty.

Explain.
Johnson is an idea man. The strongest aspects of Looper are conceptual, not cinematic. Star Wars is what people mean when they say the movies, that abstract notion of romanticizing the movie going experience that, while it happens to us film fans all the time, it somehow, for one night, makes everyone feel like a serious enthusiast of film. In a word (or two): movie magic. It isn't intellectual, it isn't cerebral. It's an eyes-wide-open thrill ride; it's unapologetic, unadulterated adventure. Star Wars is pure cinema. But none of these qualities have been present in Johnson's work. I'm puzzled and disappointed by this choice.

Brick and Breaking Bad (directed some of the best episodes)? Dude's at Nolan's place before Begins right now.

He would be a great choice imo. And if he is their choice, hopefully he knows this already and will accommodate his schedule.
