Most of the people I recognize there I recognize for their work in comedy. I'd rather have someone with some kind of action/adventure experience if we're not talking Lucas (internet articles have already used the examples of Abrams with Star Trek and Whedon on the Marvel movies as two good examples of the kind of guy you'd want on these reins). Like I don't know, Neil Blomkamp.
Although really I'd rather Lucas was on board in some capacity, as much as other people may throw stones at me to say it.
