Rian Johnson. He is also reported to be in talks to write Episode 8 and to write a treatment for Star Wars Episode 9.



Other works include Looper, Brick, and Breaking Bad episodes Fly, Fifty-One, and Ozymandias.

I like that they're going with a different director for each of the episodes, like they did with the OT.

As long as it means John Williams is still on board, I guess I'm fine with it. I hope he doesn't jump ship like he did when they switched Harry Potter directors.

OT had different directors and Williams didn't jump then.
