You know who else should get one of these?
Ryan Coogler.
And eventualLucasfilm will let Edgar Wright take a crack at it.

They're making a Han Solo movie, so yeah, get the world's best director of crime films to make it. It'll be the smokey, gritty, bleak humored, low-key and explosively violent Star Wars film of all time. He'll probably also recast the main part with Anthony Wong or Simon Yam, and he'll make space look an awful lot like contemporary Hong Kong, both of which I'm fine with.

And watched multiple edits of TFA and gave feedback for Abrams. And gushed how much he loved it.
Oh and Spielberg is the one who told Kathy Kennedy to hire Abrams.
Oh and who is running Lucasfilm now? Spielberg's producer partner for over 30 years.
Yeah, Spielberg clearly hates the new Star Wars films.

After seeing Donnie Yen in R1 I would love to see a martial-arts styled SW film about the Whills guys. Don't know who would be right to direct though.

Gareth Evans.

Maybe they've ONLY seen District 9
Dude is pretty much in director jail after Elysium and Chappie. Not going to happen.
Lan Dong Mik
And why would I want them?
The problem with Gareth Evans is he's going to have dudes whooping so much whole sale ass that's it going to make everyone but the likes of Darth Maul look like a god damned chump. This is only going by the movies, not the shows or books or anything.

CGI corpse marionette of Irvin Kershner.
I mean, in a universe as vast and diverse as Star Wars, don't you think that there's room for a planet that's just like South Africa but with clunky robot stuff?

As a fellow Welshie I would be delighted if my boy Evans got the gig, but I would love to see a SW film directed by someone outside the US/UK. Could bring an interesting new perspective to the series.

He is working on a new project but we don't know what it is yet.
A live action show would be great as well but still not the same as him getting a movie. I can't see a show really having the budget to fully deliver on the kind of grand ideas Filoni likes to do.

I heard he got the chance to make three Star Wars movies set before the first ones and he blew most of the runtime on tedious politics, bad child actors, and pointless special effects sequences. Made the Jedi look like a bunch of stupid hippies at a rave party. Also rumor has it the writing absolutely sucked.

I bet he's on a shortlist somewhere due to his Bad Robot connections and the amazing work he did on 10 Cloverfield Lane (and also Black Mirror)
I'm hoping for it, partially because I think he'd kill it, but partially because he'd probably bring Bear McCreary with him, and that means I finally get my BattleStar Wars score I've been hoping for since 2005.

Chris Nolan for me for sure. I think he is by far the best director ever, plus he does sci-fi stuff already.

I have a feeling I'll get flak for this, but since every one else has been mentioned: Guy Ritchie
He has a distinct style and I'd just love to see some midlife crisis gangster / heist movie in the Star Wars universe.

My favorite rising name in sci-fi right now is Alex Garland. He wrote 28 Days Later, Sunshine, and Dredd, and then his first movie as a director was Ex Machina. Would love to see his take on an anthology film. Something smaller and quieter, but tense and thrilling.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
District 9 was refreshing at the time, but I don't even want to pay to see a theatrical release from him after Elysium and Chappie. Just no.

Watch Warcraft and then reconsider your choice. That movie was basically the lost 4th Star Wars prequel.

Why exactly???
He's been fantastic to the franchise.
And these are just some of the great visual shots...Many of his implemented storylines in TCW are fantastic and some of the best SW out there.

Bong Joon-Ho.
Best director working today. Considering how he managed to elevate the monster movie genre with The Host, I think he could easily make one of the best space-operas ever if given the budget. Of course, that would require for him not to be crushed by the Hollywood machine but one can dream...
Not a bad idea.
He's obviously an incredible visualist but he's in need of a stong producer who could hold him back a little. Disney would be perfect for him.

Moon and source code were great movies. Lets see how mute turn out. I think he would be a great choice.
Kim Jee-woon would be another great choice after stuff like The Good, the Bad and the Weird.

I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with Joss, but I feel like he'd make a movie that was too similar to the main episodes. It'd be a waste of potential
