Let me begin by saying that yes, this is just a rumor.  Odds are we're going to hear hundreds of different things about the upcoming trilogy down the road, but this one caught my eye.  The talented director of X-Men Origins: First Class & Kick-Ass recently decided not to direct the next X-Men film.  Bryan Singer will take charge and it was hinted that Vaughn stepped down because he's going to direct Secret Service... but Collider says that might not be the whole story.

I would actually see that.

I very much doubt that's the reason why he stepped down. But it'd be awesome to see him direct at least one of these new Star Wars films!

Hmm Sounds interesting

Of the rumoured directors I have seen being touted for the position I have to say not my first choice but has potential.

hmmm

Hmmm, not a bad choice, could be great even... I'd still prefer Ronald D Moore though...

It would be very interesting to see the guy who made Stardust, Kick-Ass, and X-Men Origins: First Class, do the Star Wars films. I like that guy because none of his films are alike.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'd be into it, but I doubt this is true.

I'll go watch it no matter what the deal is but I really wish they would do something after Luke's life and focus on creating an entirely new cast or Jedi, mercenaries and Sith.

I am alright with this.

Vaughn would be a solid choice. I'm trying not to get my hopes up to high for the new trilogy. But I'm finding thats been difficult to do :)

i dont want anyone to direct it :/

I'd see them either way.

Well, he's better than George.

I'd watch it, but I don't think it's true.

I love Vaughn (First Class was amazing), but I feel like Disney would want to get a bigger name for this project

While this is not the worst thing to happen, all of these rumors seems even more useless than usual, the movie is three years out and the deal isn't technically final yet but Vaughn would be interesting here.

I suddenly feel good about this new Star Wars movie now...

I wish I was more into Star Wars so I could feel excited about this. Funnily, I'm the most excited for Star Wars that I've ever been now that they're potentially put in capable hands, but I dunno if I want the hands to be THIS capable. It's weird, I'm conflicted.

Get Josh Whendon....

No. Honestly, I don't believe he's the director for it. I like his work, but I don't think he can do it. The director from District 9 perhaps?

this would good. hope it's true.

Steven Spielberg. Only one worthy enough to take on SW after Lucas. 'Nuff said.

Wait...wait...wait...a potentially action packed Star Wars movie?..........BLASPHEMY!!

Well, all my expectations to see this movie has gone down the drain.

I think Vaughn would be a great choice. I would prefer Joss Whedon to direct it, but I think he's going to be a little busy with the Marvel movies and TV show.

Who i'd want in this order

1.Joss Whedon

2.Peter Jackson

3.Matthew Vaughn

4.Steven Speilberg

Well whedon's unlikely anyway(avengers 2),but that's who i'd want to direct mostly out of these 4.

@RedheadedAtrocitus:

I could not agree more. I personally feel he is the ONLY choice.

Because of a rumor? :P

I think the director needed greatly depends on the script.

If it is going to be a classic SW story like E4-6 then Steven Spielberg or Ron Howard stand out. If they were to go with a more gritty story about bounty hunters and such, I would lean more towards a Zack Snyder.

As long as George stays away from it, I will go see it. His writing is atrocious. Please, George, stay away from it!

This is amazing news, I have faith that whoever they choose to direct will be the right choice. I just hope they really hold out for their first choice, I mean it IS Star Wars. And if they want to have Luke's character involved, cool. I think Vaughn would be he best choice, he's young enough and seems to have a lot of motivation and creative ideas.

I don't see Whedon wanting to be involved with yet another comic franchise, at least not directing. Cuaron and Blomkamp haven't really impressed me.

I'm sure it increased the sale of cat food. :P

I was probably too hyped up for it and felt let down. -shrugs-
