IGN News: J.J. Abrams Reportedly Directing Star Wars: Episode VII

[Trevian]

JJ abrams is the rescuer of beloved franchises. Thank you JJ for giving us hope.

[caliniazownmax]

i hope it ends up being similar to the old republic trailers that were so awesome..

[Trevian]

Now we know abrams is directing which means star wars will thrive once again. Hes absolutely perfect for the job 1. he loves star wars the most 2. hes actually a good director 3. he directed star trek and like james kirk proved himself as captain so did abrams as a worthy director and 4. he knows empire strikes back is the best and he wont let us down cause hes just as big of a fan as we are.

Michael Arndt is the Writer. He wrote Little Miss Sunshine, Toy Story 3, and Tom Cruise's film Oblivion.

That sux they're not doing the 7 samurai one. That would be such an awesome movie if done right

[KayleLang]

Not everyone could through their producer under the bus like that. Way to go.

[WhosNick]

Why do people have a bad feeling about this? I'm glad he was chosen because Abrams is a long time Star Wars fan, which explains why the new Star Trek had a different feel to it. Abrams has expressed his love for Star Wars in many interviews and commentaries, so I'm excited to see what he does.

[Trevian]

JJ abrams is one of the best directors, especially for sci fi, he revived star trek. Now hes gonna revive star wars.

[ninjaboy]

he also said he was more of a star trek guy than a star wars...

[guilhermecastro]

They could make a movie based on the comics, wich happens after the events of Episode VI

[LexoG]

They should have got the guy who directed District 9, the best sci-fi movie of the last decade.

[xTGE]

But the story was all about anikan and him going over to the dark side from a child to when he killed the emperor and died, it wouldn't be Star Wars

[Zeldaschampion]

The Death Star would actually be the size of a star and would be able to take out whole solar systems in huge graphical explosions! BOOM! When ever someone would use the Force in a fight, a random explosion would happen.

[TheCanadianTechie]

Confirmation, what confirmation he said it was rumored that he was going to direct Star Wars Episode 7, but nothing is OFFICIALLY confirmed yet

[hmster]

so are we going to see space battels with shaky camera shots

[Martinspire]

Wow, this news was really surprising me today. Did not see that coming.

Btw, nice to see subtitles on the clip! This foreign gamer likes it!

[gregdawe]

i actually like getting my news this way, just because you like to "surf the net' for your news doesnt mean everyone does, im glad they do this, i like this, so if you dont like it dont come back

[MARWORLD]

You must be someone who's never seen Star Wars, right? Most people are actually happy.

[Brickmaster]

Lightsabers and lens flares... I've got a great feeling about this.

[VperVendetta]

JJ is the chosen one. He will bring balance in the Geek-War.
