Yeah, Patty Jenkins or Steven Spielberg would be my top choices.

I mean, sure, the others would have done well. There were some fantastic directors on that show.
I'm not sure how that diminishes the job Rian did, and I don't agree that it would have been equal. And no, Gilligan was not puppeteering it all. Being the showrunner doesn't mean everyone is just a meaningless puppet enacting your every will. It's an extremely collaborative medium.
There's also a reason Rian was specifically chosen to direct Ozymandias, the episode.
That only says that Breaking Bad had a really good rotation of directors. You think people won't be excited if Michelle MacLaren is directing a big blockbuster in a franchise they love?
Here's a different question: Do you think any other director period, would have done an equally good job? Because that would be horseshit. Gilligan wasn't "pulling the strings", his job as showrunner is to find and collaborate with talent he recognizes, people who he can trust to help put his vision together with him without fucking up.

Patty Jenkins needs to continue her role as savior of the DCEU, at least for a little longer.

Zack Snyder it is, then!
Patty would be a pretty great pick, but I think she's busy bolstering up a certain cinematic universe.
Steven is too grandpa to direct Star Wars.
Maximum slo-mo lightsaber fights

I'd shit a brick if Snyder co-directed with somebody
Y'all couldn't handle the fight stuff he'd bring

Here is my top choice for replacement director:
Anyone not Colin Trevorrow

Honestly, we don't need someone amazing. We just need someone not shitty like Colin.
Spielberg directing an adaptation of a book that's basically a love letter to his oeuvre? That's like the most grandpa thing to do. Old people love being told how great things were when they were young!

No of course not any director period would have done an equally good job. But directors in TV shows can be compared to second unit teams on movies, they do the stuff they have to do as good as possible but abide to the vision of the main director. Although I have to say that Brick and Looper are tonally a bit similar to BB that's why I'm so surprised that he was picked for Star Wars.

Y'all wanna hate but Zack would turn out the best looking Star Wars movie bar none.
It would also probably be unwieldy and a little mean spirited tho lmao.

The more I hear about the Solo movie, the less confidant I am in it, Howard or no Howard.
I would probably be more excited for RPO if I didn't already read the book.
Produce?
As long as he doesn't add a rape scene I think we'll come out ahead in the end.

Disappointed.
Jurassic World was great.
Jurassic World was great.
If he gets anywhere near Star Wars with his slimy Randian shlock he can fuck right off.
You know I hadnt really considered Patty Jenkins. Shed be a great pick.

Perfect opportunity for some "The IXth film by Quentin Tarantino" advertisements.
First Star Wars movie to drop the N-word
Star Wars doesn't need edgelord desaturated pointless slow-mo bullshit. And it's pretty obvious Snyder would never be able to grasp the whole "Light Side/Dark Side" dichotomy. In Snyder's version of the prequels Anakin killing children would just be basic Jedi training.
Mace Windu's alive. And he doesn't look like a bitch.
And a lot of random closeups of Rey's feet.
If you think Snyder would be able to do that then you haven't read the OP of this very thread lol.

You're thinking of Joss Whedon, the other Justice League director here.
You're thinking of Brad Bird here.
Now you're getting it.

I see nothing about Star Wars as a franchise that Snyder isn't used to
Big budget tentpole film
Lots of action
Stupid fanbase
You either get Snyder or you get me, those are your only options and I can confirm with 100% certainty that my Episode IX would revolve around midichlorians

Man if that's the full code they really need to cut some lines out. It gets overbearing.Snyder would unironically try and introduce the Gray Jedi into the films.
Yes, he pitched a Seven Samurai inspired film to George.
I'm missing out on the joke here. I only saw Jurassic world and heard about Book of Henry. What movie didn't he finish?
Star Wars is dead
Long live Star Wars
You can shorten it down to "I'm a good guy but I get to throw lightning and have sex."
