Re: Star Wars Episode VII
It just strikes me as odd because now the same guy is at the helm of Star Wars and Star Trek. And someone at Lucasfilm and/or Disney must be aware that there was significant online backlash against JJ's vision of Trek. Which is of course not to recognize the reality that they're looking a much wider market than just the hardcore fans, but with so many other rumored directors who would have been more capable and would have come with less 'baggage,' choosing JJ seems odd.
I'm sure he'll do a perfectly fine job with it, I don't think he'll 'ruin' Star Wars or anything, but I swear, if I see any lens flares....well, then I'll come on here and complain about it, I guess. :lol
