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.

maybe you should watch little miss sunshine, because it was pretty dang good.  If those are his credentials, those are two great screenplays to have under his belt!
