Because they did the same thing with empire strikes back.

George wasn't exactly a seasoned director when he made Star Wars either, they're happy with the ideas he pitched them I bet`

Anyone who can pull a decent movie out of Bruce Willis is worth ten decent movies.

>letting budget Christopher Nolan direct a Star Wars movie
>not bringing the proven and reliable JJ back for IX
Franchise reboot is dead in the water

Lucas spent the entire OT fighting for creative control. Studioman was gary kurtz in anh, so lucas switched to producer, studio empowered director, so lucas switched to executive producer because that sounded more official, and ended up with almost no creative control.

It's the main reason he waited so long to make the prequels.

Shane is a bigshot director too now. Rian only asked him for his ideas for Looper because Shane was unemployed at the time trying to finish Upstream Color and shopping his scripts around.
