Rumor: Joss Whedon is being courted for Star Wars

Joss Whedon is being courted by team Star Wars RIGHT NOW.
The Lucasfilm Story Group, Kathleen Kennedy, and Disney would love to fold the writer director into a Star Wars project and after Whedon successfully navigated Marvel’s Phase 2 through Age of Ultron, Disney thinks he’s more than capable of heading up a Star Wars thing for them.
I say “project” because literally no one wants to be more specific than mentioning this happening. I can’t blame our sources, it IS incredibly exciting news and if they knew specifics it would completely expose them.
What we suspect is that Joss Whedon very publicly spoke out against Marvel and quit Twitter the weekend after his gigantic blockbuster movie opened under the pretext of being tired but mostly to create a smokescreen to secretly to be approached by Star Wars.
While Twitter erupted assuming the feminists had turned on Whedon (or something, let’s not discuss that), everyone not on Twitter was whispering that Whedon was on his way over to Star Wars, but no one said anything publicly.
Bottom line: Joss Whedon’s circling Star Wars. They are courting him. He is very tired, but - hey! - it’s Star Wars
There are two ways this shakes out: confirmation or denial, but right now the worst kept secret of the week is that this is a thing.

Episode IX?
Some standalone stuff?
Episode IX makes a lot of sense to me.

I don't know if I like this or not,
He just got don't bitching and crying about studio involvement with Avengers: Age of Ultron. What does he think will happen here?

I'm curious how Star Wars will end up with all these directors. They could be disjointed or sort of "agree" on a general feel where you can't really tell who is directing them.

Fox is gonna be pissed.

I think this is probably one of those things if they offer it to you, you've got to take it -- or you'll spend the rest of your life regretting it. Doesn't matter how leery you are of doing another $200+ million movie with massive studio involvement, massive cast and massive marketing. You can make that little indie movie later.
I like Joss Whedon. Guy created Buffy the Vampire Slayer and he nailed the two Avengers movies. He can do the small character stuff with strong female characters and the big action scenes.

And Firefly was a hell of a lot better than the last 3 Star Wars movies.

Depends if Whedon wants to make a movie that the world will see or a movie that his fans will see.
I haven't been that impressed with his films. I prefer him on TV.
I've heard Whedon's jokes enough times already.
I'm guessing...
"I don't know if a Wookie can swing a lightsaber hard enough to cut a droid in half, but... Oh, I guess they can."

I'd love to see him turn it into a musical, just to watch the Star Wars fanboys' heads explode.

Are you intrigued by a South Park remake?

Seems like good news, I guess.

Please no. Not in the main movies.

I agree. He can do action movies but Avengers 2 was not a very good movie (I enjoy it though to a certain extent) because the story was horribly told. I'd be fine if he did a standalone and he can bring his own style but he's a style over substance director and he'd ruin the story.

I'd rather Lucas come back then that arse clown.
