I doubted such a thing would happen. It's the Hasbro rumor that worried me.

You know who won't be directing the next Star Wars movie? J. J. Abrams..

According to the most recent issue of Empire Magazine (excerpt posted by Comic Book Movie), "Star Trek Into Darkness" director J.J. Abrams was offered the director's chair for "Star Wars Episode VII" and turned it down.
"There were the very early conversations and I quickly said that because of my loyalty to 'Star Trek,' and also just being a fan, I wouldn't even want to be involved in the next version of those things," Abrams I declined any involvement very early on. I'd rather be in the audience not knowing what was coming, rather than being involved in the minutiae of making them."

Aw man... no solar flares on Planet Tatooine, I guess.

Looks like there are going to be plenty of lens flairs in Star Wars 7 After all.

Wow! Now, I am extremely excited! J.J has always delivered great movies.
This is gonna be amazing!

I like how Star Trek and Star Wars have the same director.

HEY! Maybe he can start back up Star Search too. And help revitalize Star Jones's career.

Harrison Ford is happy to come back for episode 7

YAY! I can't wait for the same tired jokes about how old he is they made when they announced Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Those were all clever and perfectly mature.

Seems like Lucas was working on the sequel trilogy even before the sale to Disney. He was also in talks to get some of the original cast into the movies, as well as consulting Michael Arndt -- screenwriter of Little Miss Sunshine and Toy Story 3 -- to write for Episode VII.
