Steven Spielberg Won't Direct a Star Wars Movie.

With the news of the new Star Wars trilogy many fans hoped that finally they'll get the most logical replacement choice - Steven Spielberg. Well they have to wait a little longer.

Access Hollywood caught up with the director on Thursday night at the premiere of his latest film, “Lincoln,” where we asked the longtime friend and collaborator of George Lucas about the possibility of directing the upcoming “Episode 7.”

“No! No!” Steven told Access.

According to the Hollywood icon, lightsabers, stormtroopers and Wookies will be somebody else’s responsibility.

“It’s not my genre,” the director explained. “It’s my best friend George’s genre.”

 Well the only popular names who got the new SW treatment that we've heard about are Brad Bird and J.J. Abrams. So watch out for those two.
