I think I'm more interested than excited as to how Abrams will do this. The cinematography is really what I'm most interested in. Will everything be really big and open like the prequels were or very close like the originals were? A mix? Fuck it, I'm stoked in general.

LOL, I feel the same on the announcement. I do have more faith with everything being owned by Disney. The company is a monster right now.

Hopefully JJ figures out how to stop lens flare.

He did great on Star Trek (I have yet to see Into the Darkness). His movies are usually pretty good and have great visuals, and he does not tend to pull a ton of Michael Bay type bullshit. He will undoubtedly do better than they did with the Prequels. I am pretty excited about this movie. I am sure the original cast will mostly be cameos (except for probably C3PO and R2D2), but that is OK with me. I do not think this will be a disappointment.

That's like asking Michael Bay to stop the 'splosions.

I'm cautiously optimistic. There are a million ways this could go wrong, but I'm a big fan of what JJ did with Star Trek, and everyone involves knows what's at stake, so there's a chance it could be good.

Harrison Ford will likely fall right into Solo character, but Mark Hammill is a little rough, and Carrie Fisher is the poster child for hard living. Not sure how she's gonna pull it off.

Fingers crossed. The saving grace is that Lucas isn't writing/directing. Now if they can just keep Damon Lindelof out of the writers room it could be ok.

I read som rumors that Hammill was being pushed out by the rest if the cast. What ever happened to him anyways? Only heard rumors over the years.

Are they doing these movies back to back or is there going to be a significant gap between them?

JJ will be tied up for years with this, i was hoping he would be the one who handled the Klingons for the new ST

You think all the nerds will be pissed the same director is on trek/wars?

I haven't heard that one. He's been doing amazing voice work for years. Most notably the voice if the joker in batman animated stuff and video games.

Not shooting concurrently. Plan on about 3 years between films.

Nerds will always find something to be pissed about, but I think most are cool with it.

Yea I googled him, does a ton of voice over work!

It is kinda a big deal to be at the helm of both those franchises at once! Wonder where he will be after these movies

[Scott Mc]

If he does it right he will be a legend.
