I think we can agree that he'd be a better fit for Star Wars.

The majority of critics and viewers thought he fit just right for Star Trek:

It will be interesting to see whether the Star Wars movie he directs gets a higher score than ST09 or Into Darkness.

I can dig it. #TeamJJ

I remember reading a week or two ago that he turned that offer down so he could work on Star Trek. I guess he changed his mind.

Or the Disney lawyers threatened to Force-choke him if he revealed it before they were ready.

The Star Wars trek has just got interesting

Shoot I was hoping Ron Howard would take the job.

I enjoyed the movie for what it was. But it couldn't even pull off convincing technobabble since it was using "science" that even a fifth grader could tell you was nonsense.

"Magic" fits Star Wars better.

Practically flipping Star Trek the bird there.

To be fair, I think he pulls together decent writers for his sci-fi work but countermands them a bit too much.

Orci and Kurtzman are very capable, IMHO. But J.J. basically cut every explanation and mandated most of the sillier aspects. And they had a similar experience with Bay on Transformers.

I'd actually really like to see Orci and Kurtzman stay onboard for Trek but get paired with a thinking man's director, somebody who is highly detail oriented in some way.

Top picks: Aronofsky, Fincher, Nolan, Richard Kelly, Ronald D. Moore, Jane Espensen.

Partner any of these guys with Orci/Kurtzman. I'd also suggest soliciting Dorothy Fontana or David Gerrold for consultant roles.
