Conan O'Brien

If you asked me who should direct ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ I would tell you I have no earthly idea. I think I would prefer a relatively lesser-known director, like say Matthew Vaughn (hint, hint), who has the chops to pull off the movie successfully (like what Marvel does for most of its movies) rather [...]
