So Look Who's Not Directing "Star Wars-Episode 7" Then!

So here's some news on the directors who have been sent out the treatment for the new "Star Wars" film and have said no to directing. 
First, George Lucas's best friend Steven Spielberg has confirmed that he doesn't want to direct the new film because it's not his genre, 

"It is not my genre, I'ts my best friend George's genre."

Second, Quentin Tarantino has commented and confirmed that he's not interested in taking the helm of the new film, 

"It is not my genre, I'ts my best friend George's genre."

Third, Zach Snyder has confirmed too that he doesn't want to direct the new film(s) either, 

 "i just think doing episode 7, 8 and 9 is just a slippery slope." and "would be a lot of effort." 

Fourth, JJ Abrams has given a much more detailed reason on why he doesn't want to direct the new films, 

"Look, Star Wars is one of my favorite movies of all time. I frankly feel that - I almost feel that, in a weird way, the opportunity for whomever it is to direct that movie, it comes with the burden of being that kind of iconic movie and series. I was never a big Star Trek fan growing up, so for me, working on Star Trek didn't have any of that, you know, almost fatal sacrilege, and so, I am looking forward more then anyone to the next iterations of Star Wars, but I believe I will be going as a paying moviegoer!"

And finally the fifth director was Jon Favreau, who again gave a much detailed reason same as Abrams did, 

"I think both J.J. and I come from a generation of people who formed our whole creative persona around what we experienced as kids from watching those films, and I have had the good fortune of working with George (Lucas)and around George, and whether it is doing a voice on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, or being at the Skywalker Ranch mixing Iron Man - so I have been very happy and lucky to just experience the culture that Lucas has created, both in my own life growing up as a kid and professional - whether it was interviewing him at film fetivals on stage, he is just a really wonderful, talented gifted guy who has changed the business so much, so I am just giddy, first and foremost as a fan, to see what happens with it. I think there is a lot of question marks of how they are going to do it, and who they are going to do it with, and what the story is going to be about; but to say that I am not excited about it is definitely an understatement. We'll see."
