    Er.

    Star Wars and Star Trek by the same director? Is that... legal?

    I imagine the Trek people will be thrilled about this. He said sarcastically.

    J.J. Abrams, with a good script, can do wonders to the Sequel Trilogy. It does make me wonder how this will affect the Trek Reboot, but to be honest I don't care for them so it really doesn't bother me.

    However, if I see ONE SINGLE LENSE FLARE from the bridge of a Mon Cal cruiser or Star Destroyer, there will be hell to pay. :p

    I was sorely underwhelmed by Super 8. Haven't seen Star Trek. Will reserve judgement once again.

    A million credits to the first person who finds evidence that Abrams reads the EU.

    Star Trek was really good (at least in my opinion... I know not everyone was thrilled but hey, he included a whole ton of original series references).

    I think out of everyone we heard rumored to direct, Abrams is probably the least likely to do something to utterly pulverize the EU (next to maybe Whedon). I'm not saying he'll save it, but I don't think he'll give it the cold shoulder like most other directors would.

    I enjoyed ST. I don't watch it like I might Wrath of Kahn but still. Personally, I'd have liked to see what Kathryn Bigelow would do with the material.;)

    I'm surprised YouTube isn't being deluged by mashups of Kirk"KHAN!" & Anakin"NOOOO!!" as we speak.

    However amusingly this news stirs up the tinfoil hat brigade of movie rumors (also known as "The Episode VII Forum"), the actual, factual information we've learned now still doesn't amount to much.

    Considering my reaction on seeing Star Trek was, "Damn, why couldn't the prequels have been more like that?" This bodes well.

    Hey guys, I think this is our chance. I say we tweet/facebook message/carrier pidgeon[raven] Abrams en masse with proposals regarding the great and glorious Waru, and all he has to offer.

    There's no way Abrams would turn the Golden One down. He's from a parallel universe! This is a Golden opportunity for Abrams. He simply can't say no.

    And just think of Waru's lensflare potential.

    Things I love: Star Wars LOST! Disney Marvel Muppets

    Nothing could make me more happy than to have J.J. at the helm...
    Was upset he did Star Trek, he is too good for the crappy aliens of "our future starlogs"
