Christopher Nolan Directing "Star Wars Ep: VII"?

Now that we know the guy who wrote "Toy Story 3" and "Little Miss Sunshine" is going to be writing the new "Star Wars" movie, the only question left is who's going to direct it. Most people say Christopher Nolan is the favorite and I think that would be a good idea because Star Wars and Disney need to be grittier. Since Nolan tends to use the same actors over and over again it's safe to say this will be the cast:

Michael Caine as Obi Wan Kenobi
Leonardo DiCaprio as Anakin Skywalker
Christian Bale as Han Solo
Anne Hathaway as Princess Leia
Joseph Gordon Levitt as Boba Fett
Gary Oldman as Emperor Palpatine
Liam Neeson as Qui Gon Jinn
Tom Hardy as Chewbacca
Marion Cotillard as Padme Amidala
Morgan Freeman as Mace Windu
Cillian Murphy as C-3PO
Ken Wanatabe as a Neimoidian
Ellen Page as Yoda

It's difficult to say how all those characters will fit into the story, but there might be flashbacks, who knows? The important thing is that these are no-brainer choices and the only way they all happen is with Nolan at the helm.
