Joe Johnston has chimed in on what seems to be almost a daily discussion, and that's who will direct Episode VII of Star Wars. Johnston has a rich history with Lucas; with Johnston being a Concept Artist and Effects Technician for Episode IV and also being responsible for the final designs of both Bobba Fett and Yoda.
When asked by The Huffington Post's Mike Ryan about the possibility of directing Episode VII, Johnston responded by saying:
"A lot would depend on what 'it' is. I am very glad to see Lucasfilm cranking up to get productive again, regardless of who ends up doing it."
While not a definitive answer, he may be farther along in the process then we know. What do you guys and girls think? Is Johnston the right man for the job?
