Brad Bird has now said no as well. This is from
ComingSoon.net ...

There's an obvious candidate ... George Lucas!

Please no. Surely the prequels speak louder than any argument that I could make for that being a bad idea. I have great admiration and respect for the guy, but those films had zero emotional weight. We need a director with a stronger grasp on how to fill his films with character and drama.

But then it wouldn't be "Star Wars".

Star Wars films used to have both and they should again.
