So unless you have been living in a cave in the deserts of Tatooine for the last few months you'll know there's been quite a search on to find the man to take over from George Lucas as director of Disney's new Star Wars film. And now it looks like the search has ended. That man just happens to be the man in charge of probably the other biggest Science Fiction franchise around, J.J. Abrams. It's fair to say that pretty much every well known director on the planet has being linked with this job but it looks like Disney have found their man and from the looks of it it's a much more popular decision then the one to actually make a sequel.
This does of course raise several questions, the of which is if this is actually going to happen and not just internet talk but it seems pretty genuine. For me the biggest question is will this deal affect Abrams involvement in the Star Trek series, after his fine reboot in 2009 and the highly promising sequel set to be released later this year. With the release date for episode 7 sat for 2015 which would suggest that he probably would not be able to make his 2 films into a trilogy which would be a great shame. Next question is what will the plot of the new film be which still remains a mystery, i think many fans would actually want a fresh start with a few old faces dropping in (i mean you can't have Star Wars without R2 and C3PO can you?) and hopefully that will be the path that Abrams will take as appose to the way he rebooted Star Trek. There are more questions but i don't really have the time right now so i'll leave it at that although one more question: When are we going to get some news about Disney's plans for Indiana Jones?!
