Wrap: J.J. Abrams Set to Direct Next 'Star Wars' Film [STAR7] Nooooooo! Antibody Jan 24, 13:50

and the internet EXPLODES {nm} Moviesnob Jan 24, 13:52

Not really a thrilling choice for me, either. Ouch. {nm} VictorY Jan 24, 13:54

I like the fact that Ben Affleck was 2nd choice {nm} baronblacksheep Jan 24, 13:55

No Oscar, no Star Wars. What's next? {nm} Antibody Jan 24, 14:12

I thought he already did, and called it Star Trek {nm} RogerMore Jan 24, 14:07

it just seems wrong to have the same creative voice behind both franchises. What are the ST vs SW fanboys gonna fight over now? :0 {nm} Antibody Jan 24, 14:09

Who is the best space captain, Kirk or Solo? {nm} RogerMore Jan 24, 14:12

Picard. {nm} Paul2k Jan 24, 14:14

Sisko! {nm} Moviesnob Jan 24, 14:20

Sheridan!! {nm} RazorHawk Jan 24, 14:26

I see no one's jumping in with a "Janeway". {nm} Paul2k Jan 24, 14:31

Janeway would be my second choice {nm} RazorHawk Jan 24, 14:36

just threw up a lot in my mouth {nm} Moviesnob Jan 24, 15:03

I know someone who's very passionate in his view that Janeway is the greatest mass murderer in TV history. {nm} DTravel Jan 24, 17:37

you do remember that Janeway became Picard's boss {nm} RazorHawk Jan 24, 18:13

i blame Brannon Braga {nm} Moviesnob Jan 24, 18:31

Wedge Antilles! {nm} Antibody Jan 24, 14:33

Commander Shepard. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jan 24, 14:43

Mal Reynolds! {nm} Samuel_L_Bronkowitz Jan 24, 14:53

I'm sure the fanbois could work out visitation rights, maybe attending alternate conventions, etc. {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 24, 14:33

which Abrams franchise sucks worse charlie Jan 24, 15:05

Heresy!!!!!!!!!! :) {nm} slappydavid Jan 24, 14:11

He was one of the more obvious alternatives. The only bad thing I can say about him is that I wish he would've never done Star Trek... {nm} slappydavid Jan 24, 14:08

Lensflares! {nm} Paul2k Jan 24, 14:08

Can you imagine all the possibilities with blasters and light sabers? Probably the primary reason he took the gig. {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 24, 14:28

I don't like him having a monopoly on the Star pictures. I need a sci-fi tentpole franchises he hasn't peed on and marked as his territory. chosenone2oo5 Jan 24, 14:10

Agreed. {nm} DTravel Jan 24, 17:38

He's proven he has no originality, and that he steals and shamelessly copies other people's ideas. He's a talentless hack. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jan 24, 14:13

Talent imitates, genius steals. (Did you know Christopher Nolan's Inception is a rip-off from a Duck Tales comic?) Roger More Jan 24, 14:17

(I regret not going with "So you're saying he's perfect?" as my reply) {nm} Roger More Jan 24, 14:22

Can't wait. Love his films. {nm} MiyazakiFan Jan 24, 14:21

Best idea since they put Neidermeyer and Marmalard in charge of the campus jazz festival DTXbro Jan 24, 14:32

Star Trek and Star Wars universes are so different it's silly to have one man's vision ruining both. {nm} elchan Jan 24, 14:37

june 2013, the headline will read, JJ Abrams no longer directing Star Wars in light of Star Trek's Box Office.. You heard it here first. {nm} PVL Admin Jan 24, 15:14

You have got to be bleeping kidding. DTravel Jan 24, 17:36

I'm cool with this - enjoyed most of his work so far. (nm) wkelc Jan 24, 20:00
