What do you think about JJ Abrams doing Star Wars Episode 7?

Personally, when I look at the Star Trek films JJ Abrams has done, I feel this stuff: 1) The guy does awesome action scenes 2) The guy uses good filming techniques 3) The guy is very "Hollywood" Blockbuster in his approach. Its a totally decent film to see in theatres, but I have pretty much forgotten the film by the time I leave the theatre and am not especially excited to buy it on Disc to watch repeatedly. In 10 years, I will probably be unimpressed. So basically, I feel like JJ Abrams does not have the ability to create a "Bade Runner" original epic. I hope he aims for greatness and not the best of the generic, in doing Star Wars. But I'm not expecting anything outrageously excellent and original (i.e. When The Matrix #1 came out). What do you all think?

  • The first trailer had me iffy. The second trailer... Less so. It looks better now. I was always one of the Expanded Universe people anyway, so for me it's more disappointing that it wasn't about someone like Thrawn (who they definitely could've ran with as a character/plot), but it does look entertaining at least.
