It’s dated news, but good news on the Star Wars front none-the-less. (I had this drafted up on January 25th!)
JJ Abrams will be in charge of the new Star Wars films, which in my opinion means the franchise is in good hands. Abrams has really had a hot directing hand this past few years, and based on the work he did with the Star Trek reboot, Star Wars fans have nothing to worry about.
How weird is it that Star Wars and Star Trek are both being directed by the same man? These are strange times indeed…but for Sci-Fi fans, the future could not be brighter!
