I'm a fan of JJ Abrams since 'Alias'. This is excellent news for the franchise: at the least, STAR9 will be solid. {nm} Sep 12, 08:20
"solid" as in pleasantly enjoyable? sure. but "solid" as in having any sense of reason and logic, then not so much {nm} Sep 12, 08:44
Ep. IX: Schmeturn of the Schmedi {nm} Sep 12, 08:45

So he's making Return of the Jedi 2.... I'll pass... {nm} Sep 12, 11:17
He is a good director, but STAR7 was a lame movie. Terrible script. {nm} Sep 12, 11:26
jj abrams is a generic director... was hoping for something a bit edgier. snoozefest almost guaranteed {nm} Sep 12, 15:12
