As crazy as it is I wouldn't mind seeing the Wachowskis try a Star Wars movie even though they are extremely hit and miss.
In all honesty though the director doesn't matter *that* much. Get the script right and the rest will fall into place.
I'd watch VIII first and if VIII is great, I'd just bring back Rian Johnson. Why rock the boat. If it's not I'd go with Brad Bird (Pixar, Mission: Impossible, Tomorrowland).
I think what's happening though is Kennedy is trying to get JJ Abrams back. He doesn't have anything planned for that period either I don't think. So I think she is waiting to hear back from him first. If not, then Johnson is plan B.
