If the script sucks, like the last 3, it won't help to hire Jesus to direct.

This time around they actually have a great writer (Michael Arndt)

Might be too early to call Arndt "great." Toy Story 3 was definitely great, but Little Miss Sunshine was supposedly just meh.

Granted, meh will do better than Lucas' dialogue <_>.

Lucas advising on worldbuilding and general story with a competent screenplay writer under him is the ideal split here.
