Who would you like to see direct it? I mean, you can pick Lucas if you want, though I'm not sure why anyone would WANT him to direct it (them, another trilogy most likely?)
In my ideal situation (well, in an ideal situation, there would be no more movies, but despite what Lucas says over and over again, we all known it's going to happen sooner or later) Lucas would still produce the films and write the story. Bring somebody else in to co-write/edit the script, because Lucas' dialogue can be pretty shitty.
And I'd bring in a completely different director for the movie(s).
My pick? Sam Raimi. For three reasons:
1. He can direct action scenes like a champ. Granted, Lucas can still direct some fantastic action scenes. Heck, the action scenes in Episode III were some of the best of the entire series, but so can Raimi. The Spiderman films are amazing showcases of choreographed action on both intimate and large scales. And his Evil Dead films and The Quick and the Dead both highlight this talent.
2. He can direct people. Lucas can't. At all. If there's one thing to be said about Raimi, it's that his actors love working with him, and he can get them to deliver. Now, he's definitely not one of the best acting directors in the business, but his work in genre films all throughout his career would apply perfectly to a Star Wars project.
3. And perhaps most importantly, Raimi would surely bring some genuine humor back into the Star Wars saga. The prequel trilogy, as hard as they tried, were simply amazingly unfunny films. I blame Lucas. If anyone can correct that it's Sam "Army of Darkness" Raimi.
