   Say it ain’t so! (Is there going to be a “Star Wars: Episode VII”? I’m missing out. I understood SW & Disney working together, but not this.)

   Yes, Disney purchase SW rights from Lucas for beaucoup $. They’re looking at episodes 7, 8, 9 and maybe other ventures. Not necessarily doing whatever Lucas might’ve had outlined for the third trilogy. Not likely doing anything like Zahn’s Heir To The Empire trilogy.

   …and, yes, JJAbrams is apparently handling ep 7. Didn’t you feel a grave disturbance in the Force, like millions of souls crying out in agony?

   The grimmer truth to contemplate is what will happen when Heart realizes “Others? There’s more like him?”

   JJ Abrams is doing the next Star Trek movie. It comes out soon, I doubt I will see it, considering what he did to the first one.

   George Lucas ‘ruined’ Star Wars, according to some people. Well, he created it. He has some right to do things with it.

   JJ Abrams can rot in hell.

   LOST sucked too.

   It took four comments to be excited about J.J. Abrams and Star Wars? Seriously, he did a great job with Star Trek, and most importantly, he’s not George Lucas.

   Yes, JJ Abrams made a goofy re-boot of the ST universe with flashes and then walked away.

   Nothing like white washing over a Rembrandt and then scrawling your concept over it, leaving it unfinished…

   Can’t wait to see the SW universe Disney-fied while re-booted by Abrams — the horror, the horror

   At least no one will be able to pile complaints on Lucas anymore…

   I’m looking forward to seeing DHARMA hatches on Tattooine.

   So Star Wars 6-7/8 is going to be like the Yuppy Trek movie? ARG!

   I feel like Heart …but in reverse. There’s a whole universe of sports lovers … and I could not care less about any of it.
   I liked the new Star Trek … and the Transformers movies … so I am looking forward to the new Star Wars movies.

    I found this on “Uber Humor.” I hope you find it as amusing as I did.

    Yes, JJ Abrams totally destroyed Star Trek by making it fun and watchable. Gosh, what a terrible fate it would be, should that happen to the Star Wars franchise as well.

    Love it or hate it, JJ Abrams didn’t whitewash the Star Trek universe. The first movie made it clear that going forward would be an alternate timeline (so if anything, it’s looking at a Rembrandt as a reference for your own art). Also, the second movie comes out this summer, so he didn’t just walk away.

    The bigger issue is no one man should be at the helm of the two biggest sci-fi franchises in the world. They’re different stories, they need different story tellers.

    Also, Heart, I’m disappointed. As a tween girl, I expected you’d be on tumblr. Which means you’d be fanning over ST: Into Darkness because Benedict Cumberbatch. So most of this should have been old news to you.

    The good thing about SW sequels is you won’t have any ridiculous cameos (like Chewbacca was fighting with Yoda?!). Lucas had good ideas, he just got too into CGI and had to write his own dialogue in the prequels (Irv Kirschner wrote the actual dialogue in Empire and Jedi, which were classics).

    @The Nihilist

    They’ll probably beg Lucas to save it.

    Personally, I say have JJ Abrams redo Episodes 1 to 3; think about it, it’s a win either way. Better= wouldn’t take much, and they’d be better. Worse= make those worse? This I gotta see! Either way, mucho moola. As for Disney buying Star Wars, hey good; maybe they’ll kick out the ‘improvements’ Lucas made! (Han shot first, dagnabbit!)
