I would say
Episode 1: Absolutley Terribe except for Darth Maul
Episode 2: Bad except for the execution scene
Episode 3: Better and worth being a Star Wars movie, but the Jedia are complete morans and the lightsaber fight was wayyyy too long

Ridley Scott would make the greatest version of Star Wars, of course must be rated R.

Rumors are that Episodes 7-9 will happen 20 years after ROTJ. The Thrawn trilogy happened 5 years after ROTJ. I bet they use some of the characters though.

Lucas said a long, long time ago in a far off galaxy that Episodes 7 would occur when the characters were in their early 60's. Mark Hamill is 61--but looks turrible. Lucas did meet with Hamill and Fisher this past summer and talked about making more films. If they are good at makeup and take the raspy, smokiness out of Fisher's voice they might have something.

They do not need to get the old cast to star in the movie that would be turrible.
I think they will make it pretty damn good. They don't really have a choice.
I personally hope they go the Batman route and make it grittier/darker.

They could always give them the Tron Legacy treatment and CGI their faces to be younger.
As for directors, you need people who are good at mastering visual style and emotional connections, as well as someone that would respect the source material.
I think Whedon, Abrams, or Nolan would all be good candidates.

Christopher Nolan was the first that came to my mind.
Does he want another trilogy though, especially when he just created a classic one?

Recast idea: Emma Watson for Carrie Fisher. No idea on what to do for Ford or Hamil though.

What a good left-wing, pro-tax zealot Lucas is(n't).

He looks turrible because his face had to be reconstructed following a 1977 car accident.

She'll need a hell of a lot more than that.
Not even Tony Horton, Jillian Michaels and Billy Blanks combined could save this.

And in a piece of news that suddenly has me interested in this, Lawrence Kasdan (writer of Empire) has signed on to write the second film in the planned trilogy. Writer of X-Men: First Class and its sequel will do the third film.
Disney is actually serious about these movies. In two weeks they've put in more effort than Lucas did with the prequels.

UPDATE: Lawrence Kasdan & Simon Kinberg Close Deals To Write STAR WARS 8 And 9

This should make fans of the original Star Wars trilogy VERY happy indeed - Deadline are reporting that both Kasdan (writer on The Empire Strikes Back) and Kinberg could well be on Disney's radar to script the next two movies in their planned trilogy..

I hope the new lady in charge of LucasFilms handles Lucas the right way. He needs a lot of construction paper and big, bright markers. Set him in the corner and pay someone to clap their hands and say "Way to go Georgie!"
Now with a PhD in Applied Llama Physics...

That job was always for Rick McCallum. Guy was a huge yes man for Lucas on the prequels.

Well since it would be a Disney movie I'm thinking Justin Beiber as Luke and Miley Cyrus as Leia. Not sure about Han though, maybe Patrick Dempsey.
