So Star Trek #2 totally sucked ass and J.J. has jumped ship over to Star Wars. Old news.
He admitted he wasn't a Star Wars fan when he was younger and actually passed on Star Wars VII the first time it was offered....but after fucking up Star Trek, the powers that be in Hollywood offered him the keys to the Falcon again and J.J. jumped on board, leaving Kirk and Spock marooned on Ceti Alpha 5, waiting for somebody else dumb enough to come along and try to fix the mess J.J. left behind.
Star Wars VII is already way behind schedule, original release date (May 2014) has past, and now they have pushed it all the way to Christmas 2015. I personally think it will be May 2016.
With delayed casting, script rewrites, physical repairs needed on the original 3 main cast: weight loss for Leia, new set of teeth for Luke and a new ankle for Han, it will be anything short of a miracle if they can pull this off by end of next year. I pray Lucas and Kasdan can nudge the script so the movie doesn't end up with the shitty dialogue similar to what fucked up Star Trek #2.
I imagine that with today's special effects, Star Wars VII will look like Gravity / meets Star Trek I / meets Star Wars IV.... but please, come up with a great story to tie it all together. Effects mean jack shit if the story and dialogue suck.
As long as J.J. doesn't shake the fucking camera every ten seconds, (Star Trek I) there will be a new hope. (pun intended)
Don't fuck up our Star Wars J.J. or this will be the only thing left you'll get to direct:
