He should definitely be providing any story outlines. Even though I'm against him doing these, if they must happen I want it to be his creation.
I agree that he should be getting the proper help in the dialogue though. It would be nice to see Lawrence Kasdan working with him again. What they did together on Empire and Raiders was unreal.
And yes, Spielberg directing a Star Wars movie would be great. It should have happened on Return of the Jedi, or Episode 1 or 2.
I'm not sure if the director's guild would still stop it though.
There are a lot of good things they could do here, don't get me wrong. There's a chance to get some of the wrongs of the prequels right, from a production standpoint. I just don't dig the Star Wars franchise being reopened though, since the film saga does have a specific narrative to it which has been completed.
I also like the idea of the films being done with, regardless of how far the franchise goes on. I'm all for them making video games, novels, cartoons, comics, and even a live-action tv series 'til they're blue in the face.
